A box score from last year that really doesn’t support your argument.
The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.
Paul Fix.
And it also wasn’t the SDSU team that is a 6 seed in the NCAA tournament.
Now I don’t disagree that the top NSIC teams could battle the middle of the pack Summit teams, but right now USD and SDSU are significantly better than the top teams of the NSIC. SDSU plays at least 1 NSIC exhibition game every year and since 2010 only 1 game has been closer than 22 points. Now I’m not saying they play the top team every year, but the games are typically 30+ point affairs. But granted they are also always in Frost so that certainly plays a role, but I would expect both SD schools would roll through the NSIC, at least right now.
Another thing to consider is that playing one game against a D1 team is much different than playing D1 every game. Exhibition games are much different in a regular season game.
