Saturday in the Summit

[NDSUstudent]

83 Oakland(14-1) vs 71 UMKC(5-9)
64 WIU(4-10) vs 55 Centenary(3-12)
72 IPFW(7-8) vs 65 SUU(2-12)
90 NDSU(7-7) vs 85 SDSU(9-5)
60 IUPUI(11-3) vs 61 ORU(10-5)

Game of the Night: It is a tough call, but I have to go with the 200th meeting of the Bison and the Jackrabbits. This game has some big implications for seeding and also bragging rights as one senior class tries to go undefeated while the other is searching for their first one against their Dakota rival.

This game really centers on how SDSU is shooting the basketball, Clint Sargent is 50 percent three point shooter at Frost Arena and he isn't the only Jack that is deadly behind the arc. So it will be vital for Tveidt, Pennick, and Vaughan to lock down and make SDSU work for every good look they get.

While NDSU is the underdog in the matchup, I think they will leave the Jacks frustrated in this game. Look for Tveidt and Vaughan to hit some big shots to lock up another Bison win. NDSU 75 SDSU 74

SDSU would be a fun game in Sioux Falls. But, I'd almost rather play ORU and be in IUPUI's side of the bracket. That, to me, would give us the better chance to reach the Summit finals. You don't want to play Oakland, you just don't. Maybe Western will knock them off, not.

If you were going to choose the 5 or 6 seed, 6 looks pretty good.

Probably, but there isn't much we can do other than win our games and let the chips fall where they may.

Due to Bracketbusters ORU played today...They beat Centenary 76-56.

If Oakland beats SDSU on Thursday, ORU will likely be no worse than a #3 seed in SF.
