    I'm surprised that Denver's Chris Udofia didn't make the list. He is arguably the best player in the Summit. Also Troy Huff from North Dakota is on the list.

      Also surprised about Udofia not being the choice. You'll find his name among many lists of NBA draft hopefulls and he was listed as #54 on DraftExpress's list of seniors (Dykstra is #91 and Braun is unranked). I know those types of things don't always mean much, but...

      I doubt any teams are going to overlook them, but I've noticed that a lot of fans of the Dakota schools give considerably less championship consideration to Denver than they probably should. I imagine Summit fans are in for quite a surprise when we see Udofia in action too.

        Udofia and the Denver Pioneers are certainly to be respected in the Summit. They return 11 players from last year's team including 3 starters. The Summit may still be a challenge for the Pioneers since defense is at least decent among most of the Summit teams. Even with this Denver team primed for a run at the NCAA tourney, there may be some roadblocks including the Bison and the Jackrabbits. It should not be a cakewalk as the NBC sports article assumes with the departure of Oakland.(Oakland??? finished 4th last year) It may be too early make Udofia MVP over Braun (and Denver the league champions.)

          Denver did have a player transfer to Baylor (Royce O'Neale). I im not really sure how good he is, but he must be pretty good if he can play in the Big 12
