Beat Arkansas & Arkansas-Little Rock (both top 50 teams). Charlie didn't do his homework.

I read that in the paper the other day and shook my head. That kind of major oversight gives you a little insight to the value of all these seed predictions.

SDSU also has top 100 ooc wins over Middle Tennessee and BYU. If SDSU wins the tourney they will be a 13 seed and no lower than a 14. Maybe even a 12 seed if there are some upsets in other conference tournaments but its pretty doubtful.

Re: 2015 Summit WBB

Jeremy Hoeck interviews Charlie Crème. Would Arkansas qualify as a top 50 win?
If South Dakota State wins the Summit League title, where do you see them in the field?
They’re similar to South Dakota. There’s not a lot of difference. South Dakota State is the higher RPI, so that might be enough to take a look at them as a higher seed. Neither one has a top-50 win. South Dakota State might get slotted a little bit higher based on RPI, but it’d be a very similar conversation.”

SDSU definitely has a favorable path to the championship game. USD has to go through IUPUI or WIU. I like the Jacks chances against DU/ORU/NDSU.

For sure. sort of opposite for the mens side. NDSu men have a tough one with denver to start but if we get past western we have IPFW or USD, neither an easy out. wouldnt mind having ORU or IUPUI on monday.

Re: 2015 Summit WBB

the only first round game i see where an upset could occur is with NDSU. i know they have gone in the tank, but, i wouldn't count them out---i think they could very well win that first one. otherwise, think the first round favorites move on.

All information anticipates Stevens will return for the Summit Tourney. No one has guaranteed the return, but it sounded like she was almost ready this past weekend.

That's what I had heard also, I think it was in a pregame interview with AJ last Wednesday. He implied that she might be physically able to play on Saturday (IUPUI) but there was no way he was going to put her on the floor. Hopefully she can at least be available as a sub for the tournament. There's your spark off the bench.

Re: 2015 Summit WBB

just wondered if you have heard something on Stevens? has she been participating in practices? i never did read or hear what Stevens injury consisted of, but, if it was stress reaction, even if she has the boot off, a person can still be a few weeks away.

Doing most of it without a soon-to-return starter.

Re: 2015 Summit WBB

WIU clearly showed that they have a shot at knocking off USD next week. USD was on their home court and had everything to play for (including senior day) and WIU nearly got them.

I like the shape we are in going into Sioux Falls. Winners of 5-straight and 9 of 10. Winning by large margins. Doing most of it without a soon-to-return starter. We just faced the same two teams as USD and came out +49, compared to +19 for USD. The IUPUI coach said, "I think the team that's made the biggest improvement from the beginning of the year to now is SDSU. They're playing the best defense of anyone in our league".

Those road losses and the #2 finish have cast a certain light on this team that has probably subdued some positives. Let's be honest, I know it did not work out that way, but if our MVP does not miss those two games (which we lost by 9 combined points) we would be sitting at 14-2, alone in first place and feeling really good about the tournament. It's the same team either way.

Here's some perspective on how good this team has been at Frost. These are the average scores of home Summit games going back to the start of tournament eligibility. This was the best since the great 2008-2009 team. If this year's team feels even a little at home in Sioux Falls, we should be in really good shape.

eason Our avg. score Opp avg. score
2008-2009 84 53
2009-2010 78 56
2010-2011 69 56

2012-2013 75 55

Re: 2015 Summit WBB

I watched the game replay on ESPN3 ,W. Ill is a scary team, they seem to be able to come back from sizable deficits and is someone you cannot safely assume are out of the game. Ashley Luke is too unselfish, she passed up a shot with Hemiller as the one guarding her, another time ,instead of taking a shot close to the hoop, she tried to throw it out and it went out of bounds. I'd be OK with her taking more shots if I were the coach, she's proven to be a pretty high percentage shot maker.I Laughed when Greg Steman pointed out that Coach Gravina was complaining about a .2 sec tie up not being called, right after a .1 sec tie up was called the possession before , giving the ball to the Yotes.I was wondering the same thing.Good game.

Re: 2015 Summit WBB

I agree -I would rather avoid both WIU and IUPUI . They both have enough firepower to go off at any time. To me , ORU is much more one dimensional with McIntyre.

I thought the same thing. Good to get revenge on denver who I feel is the reason we aren't the 1 seed.

Re: 2015 Summit WBB

Based on today's results, here are the seeds and matchups for the SL tourney.

#1 USD vs. #8 IPFW --- 12pm on March 7.
#2 SDSU vs. #7 Denver --- 2:30pm on March 7.
#3 Oral Roberts vs. #6 NDSU ---2:30pm on March 8.
#4 Western Illinois vs. #5 IUPUI --12pm on March 8.

Jacks face the winner of ORU/NDSU in the semis.

I like the fact USD may have to face WIU again. WIU nearly won today in Vermillion.
