Re: 2015 Summit MBB

Kolpack just doubled down on the Yotes, he is now calling for a USD MBB/WBB sweep in SF.

Did he have a solid analyst's reason for this or is he interviewing for an Argus job?

Kolpack also picked SDSU to get that win in Fargo during FB play-offs.

Another dual SDSU title seems a reasonable bet also.

Re: 2015 Summit MBB

His reasoning is laughable:

South Dakota is hot winning five of its last six including a convincing win over the Jackrabbits to close the regular season. The Coyotes have six players, six, who averaged double figures in scoring in Summit League games with Tyler Larson one of the top overall players in the league in scoring and rebounding. They’re a veteran team loaded with juniors and seniors, look out for this team.

SDSU has one of its better defensive teams under Scott Nagy, but I’m not convinced there’s enough overall scoring to get through three games.

Brown’s bad knee is not a good sign for the Bison. Like a shutdown corner in football, you need a defensive stopper in tournament time and if he’s not 100 percent, that’s pretty tough. Lawrence Alexander can carry a team in a weekend series, but to do it for three games may be asking too much.

Oral Roberts is intriguing after bombing the Bison, but that may have been an emotionally-charged win as much as anything after one of its top players was suspended. Over three games, reality will set in for the Golden Eagles.

Fort Wayne has a chance with center Steve Forbes, but the Mastodons are also coming in losers of two of their last three including to a very average Nebraska-Omaha team. - See more at: http://bisonmedia.areavoices.com/?p=....3Rk8XOrb.dpuf


SDSU is 51st in point per game. 4 starters are averaging double digits in points. I think the Jacks can score the ball. SDSU has won 12 of their last 14 games but they aren't considered "hot"? Does Kolpack know that Denver rolled USD a game prior to the SDSU game? He considered USD "hot" because they won 5 out of their last 6 games, 1 which was against a non d1 team. The farthest USD will be going will be the semis if they are lucky enough to get by IPFW.

Kolpack should stick with football.....

Not sure where Kolpack is seeing that USD has 6 players averaging double digits. All i see is 3.

Yeah you are right. I only see three. Larson at 13.1, Bos at 11.1 and Kasperbauer at 10.

Kolpack does not give any respect for starters after Forbes at IPFW. They have 3 starters averaging 10 or more points. Kolpack is concerned that Brown for the Bison could be a huge loss for any games in Sioux Falls. He is a bit light for facts on his plug for the MBB at Vermillion. Overall, it is an entertaining piece of pre-Summit chat. It is too bad that more teams do not have a little more hype for their local markets. Thanks for the link. Sioux Falls should have more discussion after today and the NSIC This is the time of year Saul and Kampe and Hunter would bring some life to the party.

Chalk it up to double vision, then?

Re: 2015 Summit MBB

I really hope the ORU player who got booted from the team is not voted all conference. Other than that I cant argue much with the picks

[coyotecrazie5]

Re: 2015 Summit MBB

I really don't understand Kolpack's pick of USD either, maybe he is going for the upset. It will be hard for the Yotes to top SDSU again, especially in SF. If they can win their first game.

I am not trying to smack, but Reed Tellinghuisen reminds me of a young Sloth, the Goonies character. Dude can shoot though.

Re: 2015 Summit MBB

Jeremy Hoeck of the Press and Dakotan predicted the Denver men to win the SL tourney and USD (shocker) to win the women's tourney.

He thinks ORU will knock off the SDSU women and that the USD men will beat SDSU.

He calls the Coyotes the "hottest team in the league." No mention that the Jacks have won 12 of 14, however.

Also says he doesn't see the Jacks having a "consistent offense," but yet USD apparently does.

I can't wait until the tournament.
