Summit MBB 2018-19 conference

Re: Summit MBB 2018-19 conference

That probably only matters to players from the Sioux Falls area, and there are few of them who can play at the D-1 level. What matters is getting to the NCAA Tournament. Getting a victory or two at that level would really help SDSU's recruiting.

Why would it only matter to players from Sioux Falls? The opportunity to play in front a large crowd does not exist in many mid-major conference tournaments or even P5 Conference Tournaments. I think if you were to speak with recent SDSU recruits and perhaps other Summit League member recruits that tournament has an impact on recruiting.

Recruiting players is like playing dominos where as you get one to fall and others follow. Listen to the interview with Tevin King when he talks about George Marshall steering him here. George talked about Nate Wolters and DJJ about the chance to play with Daum. Now our recruit Caleb Grill talks about playing with DJJ. The other important piece to this is wining! Players want to win and go to the NCAA tournament.

If you don't already love Mike Daum, you will after listening to his interview with @jimrome. As a mom of a future Jackrabbit, I'm grateful for all Mike @dauminator24 has done for @caleb_grill0.

If, ok, when Augie gets invited to the Summit League it will be interesting to see the support they get it at the SLT. Obviously, it is in their town which is huge. In addition, it will be interesting to see how many people that are there supporting SDSU or USD will switch to Augie. It has been convenient for Sioux Falls people to make Augie their D2 team and SDSU or USD their D1 team. That will change.

By the way, I don't care what anyone says, Augie joining the league is a done deal. They don't make the move without some assurances. Plus, Summit office moves to SF. All but official.

Some of us are still holding out hope that Augie does not join the Summit League. Interest in the Summit League will decline. Some complain about the conference's dismal rating this year...just wait and see what happens if Superbunny's prediction is accurate.

Bison go 4 in a row as they defeat Denver in Fargo 81-71. Bison have 9-1 record in Fargo.

How is crowd? 2000?

Closer to 500 - it seems that both the fans and the team may be mailing it in as the season winds down.

ORU is playing without Nzekwesi again - due to the same ankle injury. They didn’t need him today though. Obanor has just killed USD in the paint and Kearns assaulted them from the outside. Those are two solid players.

Re: Summit MBB 2018-19 conference

Maybe 1000 in attendance. Not a good team to watch. Obanor from ORU is going to be Freshman of the year.

It was reported 1847. The crowd seemed to be camera shy.

5 games left for USD which include WIU@Macomb, UND@Vermillion, & Denver in Vermillion. Those teams appear to have an equal chance to miss SLT.

I realize USD doesn't have great big man options, but I don't understand having Umude defending the post for the entire second half.

Maybe should have played a doubleheader yesterday. Might have had a better crowd. If there were 1800 there today then we had 6000 yesterday.

If the Jackrabbit doubleheader was an indicator, the crowd would have evaporated prior to halftime of the men's game. The yote fans do not seem to support the new men's coaching staff yet. Injuries and defections have taken a toll.

No way there 1,800 people there. A few hundred, at most.
