Mark Johnson was passed over as the head coach in 2002, for Eaves. They each won their first national title in 2006. Johnson has four more since then. Eaves returned to one NCAA final, in '10, but in the intervening years the team was all over the place, and afterward it sucked. When Granato was hired in '16, I heard Johnson said he wasn't interested, but I'm definitely not in the loop. He was interested when Penn State made the jump to varsity in 2012.

The women's program is different than the men's in a lot of ways, but how would things have gone with Johnson at the helm?

The Buckeyes're done. 

Notre Dame wins in OT. 

UMass beat Harvard, and St Cloud got upended by American International. 

Duluth survived BG in OT, Minnesota St got whooped upon by Providence, and Northeastern got absolutely annihilated by Cornell in the early games. 

Because I'm petty and Michigan can't extend its NC record, now's the time when I root against anyone who might tie them at 9. NoDak didn't make the field either, and Denver is the only other program at 8. They are onto the Frozen Four. So I guess ... go UMass! They're #4/16 seed, which is promising, though I haven't paid enough attention to either to know how they match up.

So the Frozen Four will be Denver vs UMass, Providence vs Duluth

I was v. happy about Denver getting knocked off. Not sure who I'm rooting for, but UMD is up 2-0 heading into the third. 

UMD as a program has really come on of late. This would be their third NC (both all-time and this decade). I'd say good for them and mean it, but there's no doubt that their first NC still grates Michigan fans. Blowing a NC-winning goal off because of an "intent to blow the whistle" claim was super lame.
