The NCAA DI Men’s Frozen Four is like nothing else. The tournament name alone is iconic. The rivalries, the speed, the grit, the passion. It all comes down to this week.
The tournament will be held at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas April 9 -11. Wisconsin will take on North Dakota at 4:00 pm on Thursday and Michigan will face Denver shortly after at 7:30 pm. The championship game is set for Saturday at 4:30 pm.
