It's Michigan State

The Tigers will open up with Michigan State Friday and the WCHA lands 6 teams in the tournament, 3 in the Midwest Regional.

USCHO
The NCAA Selection Show is over and after all the games and all the speculation, the field of 16 has been laid out. As predicted using the PairWise Rankings, sub-.500 Wisconsin earned a bid and will host the Midwest Regional in Madison, Wis. But with a record-breaking six WCHA teams in the tournament, the committee threw a curveball in setting up the bracket, with three WCHA teams at the Midwest Regional. Still, if you start from the right principles, the bracket falls out without too much wrangling, says Jayson Moy.
