2019-2020 Summit BB

Here’s an interesting thought; USD and ORU could both finish 10-6 in league. ORU would own tiebreaker over USD via their win over NDSU. So, NDSU could get the 1 seed as they now would own tiebreaker over SDSU if the Jacks don’t beat them next week, BUT the Yotes would be the 4 and face the Bison Monday night in Sioux Falls.

ORU finishes @DU, WIU, PFW
USD finishes @SDSU, UND

Doesn’t look like USD is gonna help us out at all. Need UND to beat NDSU on Saturday night.

One of the biggest games of the season for USD and they have an awful crowd. Also, Tyson Ward for NDSU seems to complain after every foul called against him.

I was thinking the same thing, I only watched while SDSU was commercial break and Ward thinks he is fouled a lot.

If USD could get NDSU to wear SDSU uniforms, then they might actually care. USD sure looked flat, but they are probably saving for the brookings game.

I haven't heard anything about a fan fest... I doubt it.

thanks its working now. I tried it yesterday and this morning on different browsers and it didn't work. I don't know what others with kids thought of it but with little kids but fan fest was great for us. Not sure what the cost was for it, or issues getting the space, but if they don't have it might keep me home watching on TV for the whole thing. Oh well, but thanks for the link.

Is the summit league website not a thing anymore? Or do I need an app for that. I get an error message when I go to the league website.

Does anyone know if they are doing the fan fest in the arena this year?

This is the first year we haven't bought all session passes since the tourney has been in Sioux Falls. Since we have a toddler and 2 1/2 month old, the Denny doesn't let you bring in Diaper bags and I don't feel like carry 6 Ziploc bags of diapers and wipes etc. (If you haven't been to the Denny since their new bag policy, check it out so you don't get stuck taking things back to our car). When we are there for 5 hours at a time its impossible to have toddlers and new borns with their new bag policy.) If they have the fan fest I was thinking I could bring the 2 oldest for the SDSU games and kill some time at the fan fest. They really liked it before. Wish they would use the convention center for alumni gatherings for all schools, fan fun things etc. Sadly I will be watching most of the tournament from home, but will be saving oodles of money. It will be weird not going for the whole tournament.

sorry duplicate post. see below.

I hope the app wasn't developed by the same company that did the Iowa caucus app. You may not know if you've purchased a ticket until after the tournament is over.

I'm sorry, that was politics and I will censor myself for the rest of the day.

FYI, I was looking for Summit League Tournament ticket info today because I'll be going with single session passes this year instead of all session passes. I found this on the Summit League website:

"Single-session tickets will be available for purchase Tuesday, February 25 at 10 a.m. Fans who download the Official Summit League Basketball Championships App Presented by Yellow Jacket Irrigation and Landscaping will receive a promotional code to purchase tickets in advance starting at 8 a.m. on February 25th. The promotional code will be sent through the app."

So, if you're looking to purchase single session tickets, might be a good idea to download the app so you can get the code and purchase starting at 8 A.M. next Tuesday. Let's make sure any bandwagon USeD fans are relegated to sitting way up top.

I think you’re right about ORU. Unless something very unexpected happens they should coast into the 4 seed. However, NDSU can trump that tiebreaker by winning at USD this week. There’s a lot to be settled in a hurry.

I’m definitely worried about how we’ll fare at UND. Road wins are tough enough, and the way we opened the last two games is concerning. That likely won’t work away from Frost.

True.

What is best for us is USD beating NDSU and then us beating UND and USD this week. Then we should go into Fargo with the #1 seed on lock assuming ORU finishes 4th. Lots of what ifs.

USD's loss at Oral Roberts was big. However, there could still be some significant shuffling among the top 3 as the season closes. All three play each other with UND sprinkled in. NDSU has a fourth game at home against Omaha to end the season, but that's not looking as significant as it did in mid-January.

I hate to even speculate tie-breakers for the Summit tourney seeding, as the only focus should be going 1-0 against UND on Wednesday.

I said it at the time but our sweep of ORU was huge. If we get into a tie-breaker scenario that's likely to come into play.

USD almost has to win out to get a top 2 seed. Getting a fifth loss would basically guarantee a 3 seed (or lower).
