  • In other scores . . .

    Tonight, UMKC is getting kerblasticated by Wisconsin. (Actually, we need to invent another word -- 70-27 with 7 and change to go in the game is way beyond kerblastication.)
    Georgia is trying to hang on to a win vs. Notre Dame (good for SDSU's RPI and computer ratings)
    Oakland's playing Houston tough.

    Oakland had a nice win vs Houston tonight.

    The Bison smacked the Mavs, 98-65 and it could have been much worse. I kind of wonder how UNO hung with USD, UMKC and IPFW.

      I don't know about USD or IPFW, but having seen a bit of UMKC on TV, and generally observed their season to date, they are really really not a very good basketball team right now. Recall they lost to D-II NW Missouri State--not in an exhibition but in their regular season opener; after losing an exhibition to an NAIA team.

        Still-dubious early season Sagarin ratings for Summit League (or, in Sagarinese: "The teams are now NOT WELL CONNECTED and so the ratings are BAYUESIAN" (i.e. weighted--I think according to last year's final ranking):
        (League overall has ticked up one notch to #17)
        #69 - Oakland
        #74 - NDSU
        #118 - Oral Roberts
        #140 - SDSU
        #220 - IPFW
        #241 - IUPUI
        #266 - USD
        #271 - Southern Utah
        #277 - Western Illinois
        #307 - UMKC
        and bonus:
        #343 - Nebraska-Omaha

          I see SDSU has cracked the Sagarin top 100 . . .

          #67 - Oakland
          #77 - NDSU
          #98 - SDSU
          #118 - Oral Roberts
          #221 - IPFW
          #240 - IUPUI
          #265 - Southern Utah
          #272 - USD
          #277 - Western Illinois
          #307 - UMKC
          and bonus:
          #343 - Nebraska-Omaha

          Summit as a league still at #17 but closing in on #16 Atlantic Sun (home of SDSU victim Mercer . . .)

          League seems to be separating out (at this early date anyway) into an upper division of Oakland, NDSU, SDSU, Oral Roberts and a lower division of Southern Utah, USD, Western Illinois, and UMKC, with IPFW and IUPUI somewhere in between.

          SDSU's next opponent, Nebraska, is Sagarin #84--which means that it should be in theory a very winnable game, but still a Good Win if the Jacks can get it.

            I would say ndsu is a little high and oral roberts is a little low. Beating neb would surely be a good win. Just loosing both the gofers and GT loses stink considering we had leads in the second half.

            Anyways we are going in the right direction.

              I'd agree that ORU is low, but I think this NDSU squad will be really really tough this year. I'm worried.

                Please, please all I'm asking for right now is just a split. I can't take another year of losing both games to the Bison.

                  Same here. Just some brutal losses.

                    I think with our more intense defense the Bison will not be as sucessful beyond the parimeter like they have been in past years. We could just sweep the Bison if we take away the 3 pt. ters.

                      If I could vote I would say to stop giving up so many offensive rebounds.

                          ORU is suffering a lot of injuries to their pre-season id'ed stars. They may be "down" a la WIU last year. However, ORU is not an one trick team like WIU was last year.

                          Bison are the surprise team, and seem to be playing well so far.

                            This Bison fan still sees ORU as a solid favorite to win the SL. PG Ken Holdman is out for the year with an ACL injury, and Damen Bell-Holter has been out with back problems. Even without Bell-Holter's physical presence in the middle, they have an outstanding starting five with Daniel Roundtree, Michael Craion, Dominique Morrison, Warren Niles, and Roderick Pearson. They will not be "down" and their size and physicality will be a tough matchup for everybody in the conference.
