  • Re: 2015-2016 Road to Sioux Falls

    Best case scenario for the Jacks if they don't get the #1 seed (IMO)

    1. IPFW
    2. SDSU
    3. IUPUI
    4. Omaha
    5. NDSU

    That way, Jacks face USD/Denver/ORU in the first round and IUPUI in the semis.

    Going through Omaha AND FW would be tough.

    I'm still not convinced, however, that IPFW won't lose 1 on the road next week.

      WBB Summit
      1. USD 13-1
      2. SDSU 12-2
      3. IUPUI 10-4
      4. ORU 9-6
      5. WIU 7-7
      6. Omaha 6-8
      7. Denver 3-12
      8. IPFW 2-12
      9. NDSU 2-12
      I would not expect too much change at the end of the season even if IUPUI sweeps Jacks and Yotes next week. The NDSU-IPFW game could determine who stays home from the tournament.

        Denver doing all sorts of bad things to the Yotes right now. 51-36 w/ under 12 minutes to play.

          WIU hopes of making the SLT are still alive.

            USD attempted 1 FT all game.

            WIU needs a win Thurs night at home vs. IPFW and a USD loss to IUPUI to force a play-in game against USD next Saturday.

              If that same WIU team that showed up against the Jacks yesterday, their game against IPFW will be over by halftime. I want to see the upset (for obvious reasons), but I don't think it will happen.

                Western Illinois beat IPFW next Thursday could be double good.

                  IUPUI women defeat IPFW 63-52.

                  The Jags (10-4) final 2 games are in Indy against the SoDak schools.

                  IUPUI could fall to 4th in the standings and be on the the same side of the bracket as usd. ORU would then be the 3rd seed since they hold the tie-breaker over IUPUI with the win against the yotes.

                  ORU's last game of the regular season is against UNO on the 25th.

                  Right now the bracket would be:

                  1. USD vs 8. NDSU
                  4. ORU vs 5. WIU

                  2. SDSU vs 7. Denver
                  3. IUPUI vs. 6. UNO

                  I wouldn't mind see IUPUI on the other side of the bracket.

                    Or if the Jags win their last 2 at home and Jacks lose last 2 on road, the Jags could vault to 2nd.

                      BINGO. They are not even thinking basketball but something else and plan on going to Sioux Falls.

                        Correct but NDSU and IUPUI can if they win out as NDSU would sweep regular season and IUPUI would have beat FW twice. Seems unlikely but it is in the cards.

                        Every game is the biggest game of the year and a must win for this Jackrabbit team right now. You could argue after a win Thursday and a FW win that the ORU game is meaningless and then I'd have to agree.

                          Not intended as smack, but this cannot be how USD wanted their final season in the Dome to go. I would think a season like this makes it harder to build enthusiasm and sell tickets for their new arena.

                            FWIW, here is my prediction for the rest of the summit league games:

                            IPFW beats WIU and loses to IUPUI
                            SDSU beats NDSU and ORU
                            Omaha beats ORU
                            IUPUI beats USD and IPFW
                            NDSU loses to SDSU and beats Denver
                            ORU loses to Omaha and SDSU
                            Denver loses to NDSU
                            USD loses to IUPUI and beats WIU
                            WIU loses to IPFW and USD

                            The standings would look like this:

                            1t. IPFW 12-4
                            1t. SDSU 12-4
                            3t. IUPUI 10-6
                            3t. Omaha 10-6
                            5. NDSU 9-7
                            6t. ORU 6-10
                            6t. Denver 6-10
                            8. USD 5-11
                            9. WIU 2-14

                            Using the tie breaking procedure, it would come down to RPI between SDSU and IPFW due to their tied head to head record (1-1), and tied collective record against Omaha and IUPUI (2-2), and since SDSU has a higher RPI, we would get the #1 seed (and the auto bid to the NIT I believe). The seeding for the tournament would shake out like this:

                            1. SDSU
                            2. IPFW
                            3. IUPUI
                            4. Omaha
                            5. NDSU
                            6. ORU
                            7. Denver
                            8. USD

                            So the matchups would be:

                            SDSU-USD and Omaha-NDSU one one side

                            IPFW-Denver and IUPUI-ORU on the other side

                            Looks like a tough bracket, but with the parity in the league in the top 5 especially, there aren't going to be any easy draws.

                            Probably won't end up like this, but I thought I would take a crack at it with only a couple games left.
