None of these stats really mean anything, I was just bored. By adding berte and beran we would actually add more point and rebounds per game than we lost this year losing andy and jose. I think the Mid-Con reached a peak this year by having two quality teams that could be competitive with most tournement teams in Oral Roberts and Oakland. Next year the league will be down which bodes well for SDSU. I would expect us to finish at or above .500.

Re: Mid-Con Returning Players

Some basic questions to think about regarding the Mid-Con in 2007-08:

1) Will ORU and Oakland be able to reload after losing a significant amount of production to graduation?

2) How competitive will the new Mid-Con teams be?
2a) Can IPFW claim the auto-bid next year in its first season as a conference member?
2b) How close are SDSU and NDSU to being a top contender for the Mid-Con title in 2009?

3) Will teams like UMKC, Centenary, and Western Illinois be more competitve, both in and out-of-conference?

4) How will the Bison fare without Andre Smith?

As much as I hate to say this I think NDSU will be favored to win the conference next season.
