Hard to tell. Denver is mostly a professional sports town and when it comes DU, it’s mainly a hockey school.

Going to be pretty difficult for Denver to pass WIU in the standings. While the two still have a game against each other, WIU has the better win vs USD for tiebreakers if they do end with the same record.
Summit tournament as of today...
1. SDSU vs 8. WIU
4. Omaha vs 5. ORU
2. NDSU vs. 7. UND
3. USD vs. 6. Fort Wayne
Bison control their own destiny, win out and the #1 seed is ours.
Two games tonight...Omaha continues its freefall and WIU does what it does best....lose.
WIU 72
USD 85
Omaha 78
ORU 81
Seems like there's 3 pretty clear tiers in the SL this year.
Top tier: NDSU, SDSU, and USD
Middle tier: ORU, Omaha, Fort Wayne, UND
Bottom tier: WIU and Denver
Getting that #1 seed and pretty much a bye to the semis with either WIU or Denver in the quarters would be nice for the Bison.
Bison win, Rabbits win.
Denver is getting closer to being eliminated. They need to beat one of PFW, Omaha or ORU, if not the last game against the Necks won't even matter.
Two interesting games tonight, the Yotes go to Tulsa and need a win to keep pace with NDSU and SDSU. Meanwhile, WIU has the F'N Hawks at home and perhaps their best chance to put some more distance between them and Denver for the 8th seed.
Yotes down 17 at the half to ORU....F'N Hawks up 7 on the Necks at the break.
ORU destroying USD by 17 at half and it should be worse.
ORU finishes with an easy schedule, if they get confidence, could be a tough out
