2018 Summit League Tournament

Re: 2018 Summit League Tournament

Has anyone heard if they are going to reseat the tourney after next year? According to a yote fan, a "reliable source" told him they will be. I guess its because of UND coming into the conference. Jack fans have made this tournament a success. I will buy all session tickets whether i sit in the lower or upper. And there will still be more blue than red. If it does change, will usd be allowed to buy up a whole section for their fans? Shouldnt be able to. Let the yote fans buy like the rest of us.

What I have a problem with is there are a lot of really good seats that don't get used every game. We get all session passes and are pretty much at every game the entire length. but when there are prime seats and only used when SDSU or USD play that really grinds my gears when they are empty the rest of the games.

Re: 2018 Summit League Tournament

Since the tournament has been in Sioux Falls the following seeds have won on the Men’s side:
- Six, No.1 seeds
- Three, No.2 seeds
- One, No.4 seed (2017 SDSU came from way behind in semis against USD; beat No.3 seed UNO in finals; No.2 seed NDSU lost in first round)

So you might be saying that a good conference performance could result in more success at the conference tournament.??!!% It also leads to the statement that all we need is to change our stripes and have 3 good games at the SLT and go dancing. It will also show the same trend the 15 years(14-1 TOP 2 SEEDS) before Sioux Falls which has a strong incidence of more successful seasons can translate into more success at the tournament. Now I understand the argument for moving the site from Sioux Falls.

Divide your already small crowd in half.Good logic....not.

Re: 2018 Summit League Tournament

I've heard a lot of other schools fans complaining about the tournament being in Sioux Falls again. Especially NDSU, and amazingly enough, USD fans. To get an idea of how special the SLT is in Sioux Falls, see the article below about the CUSA tournament. They have moved it to, what can only be described as, AAU courts, two games going on at once with a curtain splitting the courts. To make matters worse for their student athletes, the first two rounds are not broadcast, instead you can watch feeds on Facebook or Twitter. The Summit League Tournament is a big deal, a very big deal.

What kind of 6th grade tournament crap is this? I would rather play on campus sites before doing that. Way to make your conference look small time.

Re: 2018 Summit League Tournament

The Summit men and women are both represented by the USD & SDSU among the top ten of the mid major top 25. That should reinforce the notion that some good basketball is going on here. Before we lost IUPUI, Oakland, and UMKC it was unlikely 2 teams found those rankings. The competitive nature of these teams may also support the larger crowds for the tournament. It was another entertaining series of basketball games for me. If you were only able to watch on TV, you are missing a large sector of the fun of the tournament.

Have you listened to our women’s basketball radio guys?

Ha great point.

I shouldn’t be complaining. Midco does a great job.

Re: 2018 Summit League Tournament

The Jacks were dialed in today - both teams. I expected two relatively tense games and they just dropped the hammer. Decent crowd too - considering that all the interstates ended up closed and all. Hopefully this storm clears out by noon so we can fill it up. This is almost definitely the best overall set of four teams to take the court on the final day since the tourney moved to Sioux Falls.

Voice inflections. That’s another. The worst is the football midco guy from SDSU. It’s complete fake excitement when it’s not needed.

Being a mass communication major in college and spending almost a decade in radio, her voice inflections are what bother me the most. Followed by her awkward stares into the camera when talking to someone next to her.

Re: 2018 Summit League Tournament

I don't know if Midco doesn't have the staff or if they are just trying to make her the face of the channel, but it seems she's involved with about 95% of their live programming.

Yes, they are trying to make her the face of the channel. Having a former USD player to be able to be their main women's basketball expert is huge for them. Also, the point made in the post 2 posts before this one doesn't hurt either.

Aside from her man hands, Kelly Stewart is hot. I hadn't noticed her mumbling, but will have to pay more attention.
