People can just stop posting, too!

But, with CatchEmAll the thread killer seconding the motion, I'll lock it.

Re: Dakota Wesleyan Game Thread

Just received an e-mail today from the Northern men's staff stating that they beat Iowa in a closed scrimmage and hung tough with Marquette in a regular scrimmage for a little over a half.

I got that e-mail too. This is what it said:

"Weekend Recap: On Saturday, in a closed exhibition game, the Wolves faced the University of Iowa and came away victorious with a 61-57 victory. While no player stats were available, the Wolves received contributions from multiple players and a great defensive effort held the Hawkeye’s under the 60-point plateau. On Sunday, the Wolves faced nationally-ranked Marquette and were competitive, trailing by 8 points early in the 2nd half, until Marquette eventually pulled away for the victory. Junior Kevin Ratzsch led the way with 12 points, while Mitch Boeck and Levi Hamilton each contributed 9 points. Luke Wicks led the Wolves with 6 rebounds. "

Now seriously moderators, haven't I (with a little help from my friends) carried this thread far enough off topic to lock it up?

Kind of related. I saw over the weekend #5 Michigan state was beat by Grandvalley State in an exhibition game. Tom Izzo is a very good coach and it sounds like he deployed the same strategy as Nagy. Just let the players play with no set plays and his decision backfired even worse. I know everyone has been very critical on the team after the near loss, but remember it is just exhibition and we are a very very very young team.

More perspective...Ohio State lost an exhibition game to Division II Findlay tonight. I'm not fretting over here...Rabbits are gonna be just fine.

Re: Dakota Wesleyan Game Thread

One note more on point to this thread. I've talked to some people who have pretty solid knowledge regarding our mens team. The general feeling is our mens team is going to surprise alot of people this year. And not in the way that our last 3 seasons' teams have surprised us. I'm cautiously optimistic. They echoed earlier statements about absolutely destroying UND in the closed scrimmage.

I watched part of the Marquette game against Northern. Although the term "hung tough" is a term with many definitions, I'm not sure if any of them apply to Northern's game against Northern this past weekend. Not that I'm giving NSU a hard time. The last time SDSU played Marquette may be one of my least favorite moments as a Jacks fan.

Re: Dakota Wesleyan Game Thread

I just checked the SDSU record for 2007-08 Season to date....... 0 Wins & 0 Losses.

I agree with this as the rpi link shows me nothing at this point in time. The RPI's seem to be based on last year's win and loss record. So season to date pretty well sums it up.

Thanks because I had no idea ... really don't pay much attention to RPI because it changes so much for many teams from year to year except for the elite programs. Still interesting to see that the Missouri Valley Conference had an overall conference RPI higher than the Big 12 last season.

Re: Dakota Wesleyan Game Thread

From RealTimeRPI.com:

A team's RPI is a sum of three values: 25% of the team's winning percentage, 50% of its opponents' average winning percentage (strength of schedule), and 25% of its opponents' opponents' average winning percentage (opponents' strength of schedule). Only results against teams which are in NCAA Division I are counted in all of these winning percentages.

Re: Dakota Wesleyan Game Thread

Cadsev, how do they rank teams in the RPI? I checked collegerpi.com and they have the women's up (all D1 teams are ranked 1) and once they put the men's on it will probably be the same until actual games are played. I was just wondering what the formula was once it got going, how they determine who's top 50, top 100, etc.
