Will the Summit ever get two teams in the field of 65?

Re: Will the Summit ever get two teams in the field of 65?

In my opinion, no team in the Summit will get an at large until at least 1 team in the league has an NCAA tournament win in the previous decade.

On top of that, the whole conference will have to schedule better & win some games they shouldn't, at least on paper. We need to schedule middle of the road major conference teams & win, as opposed to scheduling top of the major conference teams & getting throttled.

Agree w/ the scheduling.

Scheduling is very, very tough for a school like SDSU, but, my ideal OOC schedule would be....

A.) One of the tournaments, like Paradise Jam, NIT, where you get 3 games and only have to count for 2. Decent exposure and some good and guaranteed competetion.

B.) A couple of sure things, like Southwest State, USF, bring back Augie. Everyone schedules D2 and NAIA patsies. If for nothing else it allows us to get some kids some minutes and work on a few things. Plus it's a guaranteed home game and we don't have travel to their place, ever.

C.) A couple elite teams, if for nothing else to toughen us up, give us some exposure and a nice check. Local teams where we could bus to would be ideal....Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kansas, Iowa, Iowa State, K-State, Mizzou.

D.) The rest 5-6 games against respectable, but beatable teams...Wyoming, Montana, Montana State, Drake, UNI, Creighton, UW-Milwaukee, UW-Green Bay, Nebraska, Colorado State. Maybe a couple lesser D1 schools like Indiana State, Chicago St, Utah Valley, Youngstown St.
