Unlikely teams will square off in the last two regional finals.
Once the dust has settled on Sunday's NCAA men's hockey tournament games, we'll finally get to look forward to the Frozen Four.
But first, the dust has to be kicked up. Two regional finals will take place on Sunday to determine the second Frozen Four matchup of 2015. Boston University and North Dakota secured their spots on Saturday.
The first regional features two teams who many probably didn't expect to get this far. Denver is coming off a 5-1 romp of Boston College, while Providence is fresh off a major upset of top-seeded Miami University. Granted, the RedHawks almost completed one of the tournament's all-time comebacks. But the fact that Providence is a step away from the Frozen Four makes for an intriguing matchup with the Pioneers.
Later on, Nebraska-Omaha will take on Rochester Institute in the final regional finals game of the tournament. Both teams aren't exactly favorites either; Rochester took down top-seeded Minnesota State in the first round while Omaha slipped by Harvard.
A full list of Saturday's games is below. All times are eastern.
Providence vs. Denver, 5 p.m. ESPNU
Rochester Institute vs. Nebraska-Omaha, 7:30 p.m. ESPNU
