USD is playing it's best basketball of the season. SDSU is playing it's best basketball of the season by far. NDSU is playing it's worst basketball of the season. That's the concerning thing. Like you said, it all matters over the conference tournament. NDSU still has a chance. But in the last 8 games they have played their worst basketball of the season with the exception of the Denver and SDSU game. NDSU got a favorable half. Let's hope Omaha beats IPFW, because them and USD match up extremely favorably against NDSU.
