After 3 games are in the books to open conference play (Denver has 4), it's PFW and ORU on top with 3-0 records. On Thursday night, one of those teams will have their first loss as ORU travels to Fort Wayne. Oral Roberts has played a pretty tough schedule to open the season. Opening Summit play with a 3-0 record including a road win at Omaha bodes well for them. Their next three games may not. In the next 10 days they travel to Fort Wayne and Brookings before hosting USD.
PFW could build a ton of momentum if they can get wins in their next three contests. After hosting ORU, they travel to Vermillion and Macomb, Illinois. If they get through that tough stretch, they will likely be favored until their Feb 21st trip to Brookings. Their February schedule does have four road contests with only two at home.
Fighting Hawks have no answer for Nzekwesi. The guy scores 34 on 13-17 fg and 8-11 at the line. It gives the Flying Eagles 2 wins a row which happens once a year recently for ORU. Nzekwesi has the spin move to the base line from the left side of the basket down to a science and no UND player could phase him. 82-72
I think Joe Rosga is still out on the floor looking for his athletic supporter. Hard to believe that a senior all-conference player would react like that and give up a layup in an end of game situation.
Yotes put one in at 6 seconds to win at Denver 71-70.
Omaha handles Bison at home 90-77. Bison seem to have trouble getting ball into the paint as they throw the ball around perimeter a bunch and toss a long one late in the clock. Bison fans are right that when Geu is on bench, the opponents play better while Bison have trouble getting ball down to paint. It is boring offense without the weave.

Well that is much better. Not sure why I did not check Midco first.
It’s been that kind of day. Having tons of furlough-produced time on my hands, I overachieved and bought a 24 hour video pass to the PFW website early this morning. I lost track of the days and thought the SDSU games were tonight. Oops. If you’re interested, it’s $6 for both games.
Omaha is pulling away now. 70-48 with 11:20 to go. NDSU can look pretty good at times but they like their long scoring droughts.
