ORU loses AT HOME....to WIU!!! WOW!

IPFW lost as well, not good since we would like them to win and play them instead of NDSU. But they did lose at UMKC, not horrible.

Win out the rest of the season and take sole possession of second place, that's what I'm hoping for. For this to happen we will need some help from the rest of the conference, after this weekend I might have to become a Bizun fan.

Re: Jacks in 3rd all alone...

I'm not sure our guys are as intimidated by NDSU as some of the fans seem to be. We played about our worst half of basketball of the year and still should have beaten them in Fargo. I'm more focused on how our team plays down the stretch than how IPFW or NDSU finish in the conference standings.

I don't think the Jacks in Fargo were intimidated, so much as they thought they had the game won at the half and took the foot off the pedal. The Bison disagreed, put the hammer down and gutted it out.

I do think the Jacks are objectively a better (more skilled/talented) team this year. But more skilled teams still have to play 40 minutes or they will get beaten.

I think IPFW is a much better team than NDSU...and hotter. The only reason I want to avoid NDSU is the crowd. We'd go from having a very big advantage just just a slight advantage. Plus it plays out better for the Summit and SFSA to not have the two Dakota schools play in the opening round game.

The Summit seems to have its up and downs just like we often saw in the NCC. The first time I saw ORU play, they looked invinciable, but not now, and we better be ready for WIU, they may be on the way to reversing their first half of confence play.
