          Judging by the Jackrabbits results on the road against WIU and IUPUI, compared to what they did at home against the same teams. I'm feeling pretty good about the Summit League tournament, even if they are the #3.

          Now, if I was one of the Thunder Pups from down South, I'd be worried...because they got manhandled last night.

              Going 0-2 on that last road trip hurt the women, but the game that will haunt them and cost them a chance to play on Saturday will be allowing Omaha to go the length of the floor to get an uncontested three at the buzzer.

                I've always thought that "loss to lesser team = better tournament seed" was bass-ackwards too. SDSU has however benefited from it in the past (if I recall correctly) far more than it's hurt us, so there's that.

                  Here's something to wrap your mind around: With one last win at Frost and a little luck our MBB team could end up seeded the same as our WBB team (3rd). That's something to keep in mind in some future December when this forum is completely melting down after a relatively meaningless OOC losing streak.

                    I think most people are missing the most important result here. It's looking like the men and women are going to be playing on the same day. 2 pre game social events back to back can get tough on a guy!

                      So, there is a very good chance that Saturday's afternoon session will not include either SD team. That's not good for the SL. No idea what will happen on the men's side.

                      I'm not sure I can get motivated enough to go watch Saturday afternoon without either SD team.

                              Two weeks ago not making the tourney was a real possibility. Now being a 3 seed is a real possibility. Unreal.

                                Especially as bad as Denver/NDSU are. A session with no SD teams and two (virtually) guaranteed blowouts is not a good way to start. The Saturday men's session is a different story. There's a very real chance at least one of those evening games is going to be a nail-biter. Just look at how NDSU struggled against the 8th and 9th place teams over the past five days. I'd like to be there for every weekend game but may try to keep the peace at home as much as possible by driving up Saturday afternoon.
