How the rest of the year plays out...

Re: How the rest of the year plays out...

from hawley, stuck in black hills state.


but i think im right when I say ndsu has lost too many close games to be #3-4, and will be stuck at #6. NDSU can beat ORU, and SDSU can beat IPFW.

Re: How the rest of the year plays out...

I'm not changing much from below. In fact, if all plays out the way I see it I will have predicted 5 of the first 6 correct in my pre-season poll and 7 of 10 overall (thought SUU would be better, UMKC and IPFW would be worse). Hats off to IPFW especially, they have a pretty solid team.

Summit 1-6 (the others don't matter and will not pull off an upset in tourney):

Oakland has #1 locked up.

IUPUI has #2 locked up.

ORU has #3 locked up.

SDSU should have #4 locked up (thank God we get WIU at Frost for what should be win #10).

IPFW currently leads NDSU by 0.5 and has beat them both games this year. IPFW remaining games are vs. SDSU and at Oakland. Will most likely finish 9-9, at least. They will play at Oakland after Oak has secured conference but Oak, being from a low-level conference, needs every win they can get.

NDSU probably finishes here. Their remaining schedule is not very friendly going at Oakland on Saturday. A game where Oakland will be ready since they can clinch conference w/ a win. Then it's vs. IUPUI and vs. WIU. Most likely finish 1-2 (8-10).

Summit at the Falls:
1.) Oakland vs. 8.) WIU Sat 6pm
2.) IUPUI vs. 7.) UMKC Sat 8:30pm
3.) ORU vs. 6.) NDSU Sun 8:30pm
4.) SDSU vs. 5.) IPFW Sun 6pm

Upset pick: NDSU over ORU. ORU doesn't have the best of outside or FT shooters and doesn't have a very good feel in the Arena. IPFW is also very capable of beating SDSU. Wouldn't be a surprise at all. Not sure what to expect from the NDSU crowd. On one hand they were great last year, on the other the weather was bad and, especially in the title game, their fans simply couldn't travel. I expect a little less than last year but still #2 by far.

Semi's:
1.) Oakland vs. 4.) SDSU Monday 6pm
I expect Oakland to be more than ready and I expect to see this year what I saw from Oakland last year in this game....domination.

2.) IUPUI vs. 3.) ORU Monday 8:30pm
Should be the game of the tourney up to this point. I could see anything happening. Going w/ IUPUI right now.

Final:
1.) Oakland vs. 2.) IUPUI Tuesday on ESPN2
Oakland had the game won last year vs. NDSU..until Ben happened. I just believe they have been waiting for this tourney all year and will really light it up in SooFoo. I don't think anyone stays within 12 the whole weekend.

Awful lot of work to be wrong.....SDSU men win tournament! I'd rather be wrong than right...be a fan.

Theee Catrabbit - you saying I'm not a fan b/c I didn't pick SDSU to win it all?

Bingo. It seems to be a terrible trend in all of your posts, I often wonder why you post at all. Everytime you post you pretty much explain how State doesn't have a chance to win, going all the way back to the football playoffs. Fans usually pick their team to win it all...that's why they are fans. You got no heart...you just want to be right in your little prognostications.
If this constitutes smack talk, oh well. If this gets me banned so be it, but Fanforums are usually for fans. Lament all you want after the game how we lost it, I'm fine with that. But if you are just going to pick against the Rabbits every time, why show up? If I were you I would just skip the Summit tournament looks like you got it all figured out and save yourself some $. Book it, as you say.

That whole paragraph is ridiculous.

Re: How the rest of the year plays out...

I'm hoping and cheering for the Jackrabbits to win the Summit tourney and for the Tarheels to win the ACC tourney. I'm a fan. Is it going to happen? No idea but I sure will be cheering for it to happen.

Tea can make is predictions and if he is close to right he can even point that out. If he is dead wrong, well there isn't any harm in that. I find it kind of amusing but thats just me. I think if more people found some of the stuff I post on here amusing we'd all be better off. Perhaps I'm wrong.

Catrabbit is just expressing his views. For all we know he might no be that far off, in fact, I think he makes an interesting observation.

Jacks have a better shot at winning the Summit than the 'Heels have in the ACC----whoda thunk it?

I Tarheels to win the ACC tourney. I'm a fan.

Oh no, not another one. I did enjoy the beat down the Terps put on your guys tho.

Revenge of the Basketball Gods for Williams kicking out that one fan that heckled his player (can't remember who they were playing).

And that makes me happy. The only way I would be even happier is if Duke was second to last.

Re: How the rest of the year plays out...

Well, I actually would prefer Dook finish last, but a tie wouldn't be bad.

I am on board with this sentiment. If they both could lose every game, and beat each other once each when they play head to head, it would be perfect.
