Went to the games Saturday. Men's basketball team showed up as well as a few of the football players to show support. Basketball team was vocal which was fun to listen to. Sat next to a grandfather for one of the girls from IUPUI. Had some good conversation. He heard we got a new football facility. Pointed out the indoor bubble. He said, "Oh, that's nice." Explained the uses of it and all the new buildings that have gone up, are going up and hopefully will be upgraded. He said, "So the football team doesn't play in the bubble?" I told him no. He asked where do they play then? I pointed to the big brick Dome. He said, "Wow, that's huge!" I said, "Care to donate so we can get a bigger one to fill?" He was flabbergasted we could fill that game in and game out. Nice guy. Taking a vacation to the Black Hills between this weekend and the tournament. Very impressed with Mueller's ability to recruit California.

Yikes, Saturday and Sunday look good, but it's like even money there's going to be rain Sunday and Monday as well.

It looks like they could squeeze the schedule down to 3 days if they need to, but they're going to need at least a little cooperation from the weather at some point.

Given the 16-0 drubbing SDSU received today I guess Stu Whitey's comments in the Argus Leader article about Obama's visit to South Dakota really ring true:
The state doesn't have major pro sports but has rallied around Division I athletics, in which South Dakota State and the University of South Dakota expose athletes to a higher level of competition, stir newfound excitement among fans and ultimately lose to North Dakota State.

If the Gophers get a #1 seed obviously we go there but if they don't I guess someplace like Oklahoma, Michigan, Oregon or Arizona.

The Gophers getting upset by Iowa has at least made this somewhat interesting to think about.

Minnesota was ranked 9/12 in the polls going into the Big Ten tourney, so I don't think they'll fall far enough to not be in the top-16. Therefore, we're going to Minneapolis. As to the team we'll face in the first game, it's anyone's guess. Besides NDSU, there are no other likely tournament participants within 350 of the cities that are not members of the Big Ten. So they'll slot in someone who had to fly anyway. Too many unknowns to make a guess.

It will probably be:
1. Minnesota
2. NDSU
3. ???
4. ???

Slight chance of
1. Minnesota
2. ???
3. NDSU
4. ???

I'm going to guess MN is going to get a 13 seed. And the Bison will be the 2.

Yeah, I think the Gophers will get a seed, UCF was one of the teams that I thought could jump them but they ended up as a 2 seed in Florida State's regional. Notre Dame was kind of surprise though based on their RPI and ranking.

We are in a very tough regional.

BYU is the worst team with an RPI of 54....Fresno is 46. I guess our first opponent could be tougher.

Yep, we're a two. They don't explicitly label on the ESPNU broadcast, but the #2 is the team furthest away from the seeded team in each four-team bracket.

So you could say NDSU is the 2nd to the last #2 seed in the tourney or around the 31st overall seed. Seem's reasonable if you look at it that way.

With a little luck and some great ball by the ladies, hopefully we're critiquing how people announce Bison for a couple of weeks. If they can make the supers, we might just see the first team to make the world series. Regionals might be the toughest games for them.

Yeah, that makes sense I guess.

If anything Oregon got screwed, they play perhaps the strongest #4 seed. I still don't get that.

Some love from ESPN.com


Krista Menke, North Dakota State (Eugene regional): One of the most remarkable statistics in softball is that North Dakota State is making its sixth NCAA tournament appearance in its seventh season of eligibility after moving to Division I. Co-coaches Darren Mueller and Jamie Trachsel are two of the best in the business, regardless of conference. But it doesn't hurt to have an ace. Far more rested than she was a season ago, when she had to pitch all weekend in the conference tournament and still beat Auburn once and nearly twice in an NCAA tournament regional, Menke long ago proved she could deal with lineups from any conference in the country. She can scare Oregon.

They should be top 25. BTW they only do seeding for top 16.
