Summit OOC

Re: Summit OOC

Agree about UNO. They appear to be ready to go before even being postseason eligible. Didn't they lose several players this offseason?

This is a scary team. Last year I thought Justin Simmons would be a POY candidate coming into this season. So far he's averaging 6.8 pts on 28% shooting. If he gets it going, watch out.

Re: Summit OOC

Sunday games included the Denver(4-5) men beating Wyoming by 3.

IUPUI(7-4) women lose to Indiana 51-45. SDSU women go to 8-4 OOC.

Re: Summit OOC

On the men's side:
UNO is starting to worry me a bit. They might be top-half-of-the-league material, if not better.

USD seems to be just finding ways to lose. If they figure out how to turn it around they'll have to be reckoned with.

NDSU is good. Denver will be good. IPFW looks like they're good.

Summit is going to be a tough league this year, I think. Jacks have the pieces to make noise, but are still a work in progress I think.

This is why its nice to have a team or two like UMKC. Few things are worse for a conference than to have a jumble of teams mixed up in the middle at about .500 at the end of the year (see MVFC playoff bids). It would be nice to have 1-2 teams that struggle in the conference season.

Re: Summit OOC

Based on the Sagarin computer rankings, The Summit League would rank as the 15th strongest conference if ORU were a part of the conference. Without ORU the women still rank as 15th and the men 18th. The ORU women are down this year.

The bolded would not surprise me a bit. Even though we drilled them in Frost last year, I recall them being very athletic and not very far away from potentially being a good team.

I think IUPUI and Western Illinois will fit in that category.

Re: Summit OOC

I watched Oakland against Michigan State the other night (I realize they are no longer a SL team, but only a year removed). They are VERY athletic and fun to watch. They gave MSU everything they wanted and then some. I don't see them following ORU's post SL "path" - the Horizon is where they want to be.

Anyone have any insight to how UNO is doing this? According to this site, they only have 3 scholarship players & a bunch of walk-ons. Just seems odd from what I was expecting from them this year.

And the mighty Missouri Valley is 10. With Wichita State coming in at #12 overall.

I'm telling you folks, the Summit League with ORU could make a real play for a couple MVC schools.

Re: Summit OOC

Wow, the conference is really on an upswing here lately after a very slow start to the non-conference season.
