The Mavericks are going to Sioux Falls, S.D., for the NCAA West Regional.
All of the Minnesota teams are in the same region, which means just one — if any — will be playing in the Frozen Four in St. Paul. Air Force could spoil it for all of them.
Minnesota State, the second seed, will play Minnesota Duluth, the third seed, at 6:30 p.m. Friday. St. Cloud State, the national tournament's No. 1 overall seed, will play fourth-seeded Air Force.

After going to Providence in 2003 and Toledo, Worcester and South Bend in 2013, 2014 and 2015, the 2 1/2-3 hour drive to Sioux Falls will be a welcome destination to many in Mankato.
Minnesota State's allotment of 400 tickets (three-game packages for $74 only; no single-game seats) will go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday through the athletics office.
The other NCAA regionals look like this:
Midwest (Allentown, Pennsylvania, Saturday-Sunday): 1-Ohio State vs. 4-Princeton; 2-Denver vs. 3-Penn State.
East (Bridgeport, Connecticut, Friday-Saturday): 1. Notre Dame vs. 4-Michigan Tech; 2. Providence vs. 3-Clarkson.
Northeast (Worcester, Massachusetts, Saturday-Sunday): 1. Cornell vs. 4-Boston University; 2. Michigan vs. 3-Northeastern.
The four regional winners will play in the Frozen Four on April 5-7 in St. Paul.
