Summit MBB 2018-19 conference

Re: Summit MBB 2018-19 conference

I saw that tweet too. Obviously ORU is a very different beast with Nzekwesi. This two-city trip is nothing to automatically assume will produce two wins - on either the men's or women's side. Both SDSU teams better come out with 100% effort or a loss or two is pretty likely by Sunday night.

Tonight in MBB we have USD at PFW. USD needs a win to avoid picking up a 6th loss and finding themselves firmly in the "might not make it to Sioux Falls" bunch. PFW needs a win to avoid wondering "what the hell happened to our once-promising season". If they lose tonight they can forget about a top-2 seed. It should be a good one.

It may have been the weekly interview with Coach Otz who speculated Nzekwesi was too be available.

ORU's beat writer said on Twitter that Nzekwesi would be back tomorrow night.

I believe I saw somewhere that Nzekwesi is playing again now.

According to the ORU scorebox, he is still out. This is the NDSU game which they lost by 10 at home. Also ESPN shows him not playing the last two conference games. Who knows he just might show up on Jan 31, when the Jacks play ORU. I am sure they want him back as soon as possible.

ORU really struggles offensively with Nzekwesi out. Jacks are fortunate that he apparently won't be back until sometime in February.

No doubt, besides Obanor and maybe Kearns the don't have much

Preseason Poll...……………………………….Actual
1.SDSU...……………………………………….1.SDSU(7-1)
2.USD...………………………………………….2.Omaha(6-2)
3.Denver...……………………………………..3.PFW(5-3)
4.PFW...…………………………………………..4.ORU(4-4)
5.NDSU...………………………………………..5.NDSU(4-4)
6.ORU...…………………………………………..6.USD(3-5)
7.UND...…………………………………………...7.WIU(3-5)
8.Omaha...……………………………………….9.UND(2-6)
9.WIU...…………………………………………….9.Denver(2-6)

USD & Denver seem to be surprises. NDSU is likely to give Richman extension tonight, but UND makes offer he cannot refuse. Omaha is finding a few local players who are winning games.

It looks like ORU may have a larger crowd than what USD had today!

Omaha wins in OT at Fort Wayne. The Dons were the darlings of the Summit at 3-0, but now sit at 4-3. Good for the Jacks that Omaha had to play extra minutes before having to play Saturday afternoon in Frost.

Big game Saturday!

Good point. We may not have to worry about rioting in the streets afterall.

UND is sure getting a rude welcome to the Summit League. I was only flipping back and forth between it and he SDSU WBB game last night, but I noticed that UND’s post (Avants - 12ppg) was not playing. Does anyone know why? They’re probably doomed to that 9th spot without him.

The announcers said on telecast that he was injured and was day-to-day. UND has about a week off now, so he'll probably be back when the Hawks resume their schedule.

So the concern from certain fans that it was unfair that UND wasnt going to get to buy lower level tickets , might not matter. They might not have any reason to come

UND loses at home to USD. UND now in serious contention for team #9.
