We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
Currently the matchups would be:
#1 SDSU vs #8 Western Illinois
#4 IPFW vs #5 South Dakota
#2 NDSU vs #7 IUPUI
#3 Oral Roberts vs #6 Denver
I don't know who I would rather face in Semifinals, ORU or IPFW?

Bottom line we have to beat the 3 best team in the Summit in a row to go dancing. It is totally possible, but can't go cold from 3 point range or we will be done in the 1st round.
After seeing how some of the games went this week this Tournament is up for grabs.
