Sioux Falls to Host 2009-2010 Summit League Basketball Championships


ELMHURST, Ill. - The Summit League will head to Sioux Falls, S.D., and the Sioux Falls Arena for its men’s and women’s basketball championships in 2009 and 2010 Commissioner Tom Douple announced today.

"We are very excited about having our basketball tournament in Sioux Falls," Douple said. "It will be great for the city and the region, and we anticipate tremendous support from the community. We are especially looking forward to bringing March Madness to the state of South Dakota."

The Summit League Presidents Council voted Monday to move the league’s top event to the largest city in South Dakota. "We look forward to having the tournament in Sioux Falls," said Dr. Al Goldfarb, president of Western Illinois University and chair of the Presidents Council. "It will provide a very positive experience for our student-athletes." . . . (read more)

Sioux Falls will be a great spot for the tourney... Too bad the Jacks won't be a contender! :) It would be a great homefield advantage... I guess they'll have to root for the Bison!!!

I will have to travel about 18 miles to get to the Arena. Too bad the Jacks won't be able to take advantage of being so close to homecourt. I expect the Bison to win the Summit tournament in 2009. Maybe the Jacks will have a chance in 2010.

I wouldn't count out the "homefield" advantage for the Jacks.

Okay, we've read your opinions on the Summit tourney for the men. As you would expect, many Jackrabbit faithful disagree and are cautiously optimistic that this is the spring-back year for the men.

Now, don't tell me you've totally flipped out and you think the Bison women will do better than the Jackrabbit women!

Just like Nagy, Ruley has a lot of work to do to in order to catch up.

Since this is in the "men's basketball" forum.... I was talking specifically about the men. The Jacks women are far superior to our lady bison (for right now).
