The NCAA tournament is usually a time when new sections get added to team record books to account for first-time opponents. <\/p>\n

Not in 2015. The eight first-round matchups all have some history, slight though it may be in some cases. <\/p>\n

There are three games between teams that used to call the same conference home. There’s a rare repeat of a first-round NCAA game from the year before. <\/p>\n

There’s a game between programs that are better acquainted from their Division II and Division III days. <\/p>\n

And schools separated by 150 miles of Minnesota highway will face off at an arena 1,400 miles away, the fifth different building the old foes have played in this season. <\/p>\n

The NCAA tournament brings intrigue on its own. A little history never hurts to add some context. <\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the 428 combined games in the all-time series between the teams playing each other in the first round Friday and Saturday. We’ll start with the rivalry that has produced the majority of those games:<\/p>\n

Minnesota-Duluth vs. Minnesota<\/h4>\n

Series:<\/b> Minnesota leads 134-78-17 <\/p>\n

Minnesota-Duluth has won more than three straight games against the Gophers only twice in the 229-game history between the teams — a four-game streak in the 1972-73 and 1973-74 seasons and a five-game run covering parts of 2002-03 and 2003-04. But the Bulldogs have won three in a row against the Gophers this season after a season-opening loss at the Ice Breaker Tournament. <\/p>\n

And in something of an oddity, the four games played between the teams this season have all been in different venues: Compton Family Ice Arena<\/a>, Mariucci Arena<\/a>, Amsoil Arena<\/a> and Xcel Energy Center<\/a>. Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, N.H., will make it five games in five arenas. <\/p>\n

Of the 229 previous games, only one has been played in the NCAA tournament — Minnesota-Duluth’s 3-1 win in the 2004 Midwest Regional final<\/a> in Grand Rapids, Mich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

Michigan Tech vs. St. Cloud State<\/h4>\n

Series:<\/b> St. Cloud State leads 55-28-5 <\/p>\n

Another pair of former conference mates, Michigan Tech and St. Cloud State have played two winner-take-all games against each other, with each winning one. <\/p>\n

Michigan Tech won 4-3 in overtime in the 1996 WCHA Final Five quarterfinals, while St. Cloud State won Game 3 of a 1998 WCHA first-round series 6-2. Michigan Tech also swept a best-of-three first-round series in 1993. <\/p>\n

Michigan Tech won the teams’ most recent meeting, the second game of a series in St. Cloud in March 2013, but St. Cloud State has won 15 of the last 18. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

(1) WCHA playoff game<\/p>\n

Boston University vs. Yale<\/h4>\n

Series:<\/b> Tied 30-30-3 <\/p>\n

Boston University and Yale have played 63 times in a series that dates to 1924, but this will be the first neutral-site meeting and first postseason matchup.<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs won the first 20 games in the series between 1924 and 1947, so for the Terriers to have caught up shows how dominant they were in the teams’ shared ECAC days (17-4-1 between 1961 and 1984). <\/p>\n

Four of the last five games between the teams have gone to overtime, including the most recent meeting in November 2006, a 2-1 Terriers victory at Agganis Arena<\/a> in which Matt Gilroy scored nine seconds into the extra session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

Denver vs. Boston College<\/h4>\n

Series:<\/b> Denver leads 15-13 <\/p>\n

Denver and Boston College also met in the first round last season, when the No. 2 overall seed Eagles won 6-2. This is just the sixth time in the tournament’s 68-year history that teams have met in the first round in consecutive seasons. <\/p>\n

St. Cloud State and Notre Dame met in both the 2013 and 2014 first rounds. The other repeats were all in the era when only four teams made the tournament: Boston College and Colorado College in 1949 and 1950; Boston University and Michigan in 1950 and 1951; Boston University and Michigan State in 1966 and 1967; and Cornell and North Dakota in 1967 and 1968. <\/p>\n

The Eagles and the Pioneers also played earlier this season, splitting a series<\/a> in Denver in which both teams won a 2-1 game<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

Since being matched for the first round of the 2011 Denver Cup, Miami and Providence have traded home series in recent seasons. <\/p>\n

And those four games all went to overtime. In October 2012, Miami’s Austin Czarnik scored in an extra session<\/a> to win at home. Last season, Niko Rufo scored on a five-on-three power play in overtime<\/a> for the Friars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

Minnesota State vs. RIT<\/h4>\n

Series:<\/b> Tied 3-3 <\/p>\n

Rochester Institute of Technology got the better of the school then known as Mankato State when the teams were at the Division II and III levels. <\/p>\n

The Tigers advanced with a 9-7 victory in a total-goals first-round series in the 1983 Division II tournament, which they capped with the school’s first national championship. RIT also won a Division III third-place game in 1986. <\/p>\n

The Mavericks won the only Division I games between the schools, in January 2010 in Mankato, Minn. The Tigers ended that season with a run to the Frozen Four. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
