Michigan-UNO Preview

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 21:53:00 -0500

Welcome to the first episode of the WCBN Sports Podcast. The #1 Michigan Wolverines take on Nebraska-Omaha at Yost this weekend in the Quarterfinals of the CCHA Tournament. Michigan will look to stave off this dangerous, high-scoring squad, who managed to pull off a 5-4 OT upset over Michigan St. at Munn earlier this year. Both teams will come into the series at less than full strength, with Nebraska-Omaha fresh off a 3-OT victory, clinching a first-round series win over Alaska, and Michigan playing without defenseman Scooter Vaughan.
