There were a few Michigan Schools in the men's college basketball tournament but there is no shortage of Michigan teams in the NCAA Men's Hockey tournament.
College hockey's premier conference tournament, the 2016 WCHA Final Five, returns to Grand Rapids and the Van Andel Arena this weekend, Friday and Saturday, March 18 and 19. Two Michigan teams made it into the playoffs, Michigan Tech and Ferris State. They're be battling it out with Minnesota State and Bowling Green.
The NCAA didn't want Grand Rapids to host part of March Madness, the ultimate in basketball, but what do they know. The VanAndel would have been the perfect choice.
Okay, enough sour-grapes. They do love us for hockey.
