Omaha vs. Western Michigan: Feb. 12-13, 2016 at Baxter Arena

They're tanned, they're rested, they're ready.

Well, okay, they're probably not tanned, but the Mavs have had a chance to heal up some of the bumps and bruises from the first half of the season, and we're ready to enter the "Home Stretch For Home Ice" that starts this weekend!

The MOST important thing you need to know about this weekend is that Friday night's game starts at 6:37 p.m., due to the game being televised on CBS Sports Network.

Much respect to @WOWTweather for putting the O on the 7 day. Only one of the big three. pic.twitter.com/E1P1A8bu4L

(Mavs are now 2-8 in games when their opponent scores first. That was a huge emotional comeback tonight after getting scored on a minute into the game.)
