Re: Oakland: Biggest home game in D-1 era?
The Oakland game is clearly one of the two biggest home conference games of the season. The other being Oral Roberts. The USD game will be big in terms of interest and attendance but USD is not eligible for the Summit Conf tournament. So, let me ask this! Do the USD games count in terms of confernce standings? If so they a win or loss would impact the seating at the Summit Tourney.

Oakland still is a good team,but the two players that were a nightmare for us to match up with - Benson and Hudson - are gone,and are replaced with two red-shirt freshmen,and a true freshman post player. Hamilton and Bader are good,but we can match up with them. It was the inside scoring and rebounding that killed the Jacks in the three games last season.

I won't forget the debacle at Grand Forks. We've proved we can lay an egg with the best of 'em. So, I'm looking forward to the IPFW game -- the most important game facing us right now, and watching the 'get-down-to-business-early' start followed by the 'walk-off-the-court-like-we've-been-there-before' finish used in the game at Washington.

Re: Oakland: Biggest home game in D-1 era?
Certainly there are a few games that you circle when a schedule comes out and Oakland, NDSU, and ORU are the ones that catch my eye. I guess that other game gets my interest as well.
If we want to move up in the conference then those are the three teams to beat. Oakland and ORU because they are the top teams and NDSU because we just haven't found a way to beat them in a long, long time.
It's a boring approach and probably over-cliched but the Stig approach is the way to go. IPFW is the most important thing until after the game tomorrow. Then Oaklan is the most important thing until that game is over.
Let's go 1-0 in conference!
SUPERBUNNYMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, BIZUN!!!

Re: Oakland: Biggest home game in D-1 era?
In my opinion, the next home game is the biggest home game in the DI era.
Over the DI era, Jackrabbit basketball shows the following progression:
One step forward, two steps back.
One step forward, one step back.
Two steps forward, one step back.
One step forward, followed by another step forward.
In my opinion, we are still in the two steps forward (IUPUI on the road, smoking UND), one step back (getting smoked by UND). I watched the UND game online, and we looked as bad as we ever have in the DI era. If we play that bad against Oakland, we will lose by 50.
IMO, if we sweep IPFW and Oakland, we have entered the one step forward, followed by another phase.
Guarantee if the team is looking forward to Oakland, they lose on Wednesday.“I used to be with it. But then they changed what it was. Now what I’m with isn’t it, and what’s it seems scary and wierd. It’ll happen to you.” — Abe Simpson

Re: Oakland: Biggest home game in D-1 era?
Up to this point it might be the biggest game, because I think this is the season We can possibly make it to the next level and with all of the freshman we have on the roster. We should only get better as the year goes on as long as we can stay healthy. I think If we can win this home game we will beable to give oral roberts and oakland a run for the conference and with only one senior we should be able to do the same next year. All of this should help in recruiting and creating a d1 tradition of winning like our womens team has.
