I watched the last 8 minutes or so of the first half of the UMKC game before heading over to the Jacks game...the Roos looked pretty good to me over that span.

from Monday night:
Caught second half of Creighton and St. Thomas, which was very close for the first 10 minutes. The score was 59-57 Creighton with 9:47 remaining, and then the Tommies went absolutely cold - 7 minute scoring drought. Final 72-60 Creighton. Baylor finished with 11pts, 10boards, in 35 minutes on 4/9 shooting.

Oral Roberts lost to Saint Mary's by 8, 78-70. The Gaels were pretty good last year, and I'm not sure what has become of their roster since then.

NDSU lost to Arkansas by 18. Arkansas was playing without top freshman, Nick Smith Jr, who is considered to be the highest ranked college player (ranked #4 in latest mock draft according to ESPN), and it's possible he won't play tonight against Fordham. He's listed as day-to-day with a right knee injury, so there's a good chance the Jacks will see him on the 16th.

Thursday night was tough on the Summit as the bison lose at Kansas, Omaha lost at Nebraska, the Fhawks lost at Creighton, and Denver flexed against Colorado College. Hopefully these winning teams all pumped some money into the Summit coffers.

Time to panic up in Fargo?

Time to panic up in Fargo?

Having watched most of that game, panic is a bit much but concern is definitely warranted. I’d guess they’ll follow their usual pattern of stumbling through the non-con and then piecing things together in time to be a threat in March. There definitely seems to be less talent at the wing/guard position than usual right now though.

Watching ORU play Houston. The 7'5" guy might be an issue. Holy cow he is tall.

Another tough evening for the Summit MBB

[OldHare]

ORU gets a 82-64 win over Texas Southern. Vanover, the new 7'5" post, pulled 13 boards and shot 2-4 from 3pt while tallying 14. Abmas only played 29 minutes to score 16.

Pacific sweeps the North Dakota teams defeating the FHawks 93-63.

Current Summit 'standings' and NET ranking, +wins and losses. Not sure how much stake to put into NET rankings at this point, but so far SDSU is the only one to beat a school in the top 100. UMKC, Oral Roberts, and NDSU all have a couple losses in the top-25. A few scattered games being somewhat competitive.

After two somewhat competitive losses for NDSU, wheels have sure fallen off the bus from Pacific and Indiana State. Who knows. It's early....

School	Wins	Losses	Current NET	Wins	Losses
Denver	2	1	296	325, D3	311
North Dakota	2	2	348	350, 253	51, 298
Oral Roberts	2	2	160	NAIA, 196	19, 2
South Dakota	2	2	204	268, NAIA	25, 60
South Dakota State	2	2	67	34, 75	126, 21

Western Illinois	2	2	239	200, D3	103, 99

Sagarin Ratings through 11/17. 1) 91 Jacks 78.03, 2) 107 ORU 77.22. 3) 233 USD 69.60, 4) 235 NDS 69.43, 5) 258 KC 68.22, 6) 282 St Thomas 66.56 7) 298 W IL 66.04, 8) 303 Den 65.77, 9) 314 UNO 64.60, 10) 345 UND 61.07.

Still early but showing a trend.

Sample size for the NET ranking leads to some really weird results at this point. NDSU is 0-4, lost to #298 in Fargo, but is # 162?
