BOWLING GREEN — There are scenarios by which Bowling Green can make the NCAA tournament even without winning the Western Collegiate Hockey Association championship game.
While the Falcons certainly could use good fortune elsewhere and the computer rankings to assure their spot in the 16-team field, they’re much more interested in using the Al-Davis-approved method.
Just win, baby.
Bowling Green is 60 minutes away from an automatic NCAA bid that comes with winning the WCHA playoff tournament. The third-seeded Falcons will visit No. 1 seed Minnesota State, the WCHA’s gold-standard program, in a winner-take-all title game Saturday in Mankato, Minn.
