The Gophers will need to beat the Buckeyes for a fifth time this season
The Gopher Hockey team has one goal and one goal for its Big Ten Semifinal against Ohio State Friday night. Win. Win or your season is over. The Gophers are mathematically impossible to clinch an at large bid to the NCAA Tournament, so if you want to keep playing next week, its going to take two wins this weekend. Just think of it as two play-in games.
The Gophers will see a familiar foe in Ohio State Friday night, as the two teams will make it all three years of the Big Ten Tournament where they will face-off in the Semifinals.
