The Mavs received two whole points in the USCHO Division I Men's Poll this week, putting them in a tie for 29th with RIT and behind Sacred Frickin' Heart, who has three times as much. Still, the Mavs' death spiral has arrested itself for now, and UNO finds itself owning a winning record for the first time since the Niagara game.
Presumably browned-out by the Big 12 Championship game, Omaha.com used the services of Bowling Green reporter Kevin Gordon as a special to the paper. Gordon threw flowers at the feet of the Mavs, calling them "one of the league's most skilled offenses" and "back in the thick of the CCHA race."
