    Default Conference tourney thoughts- before during and afterward

    This is going to be a wide open field. While I am still cheering for NDSU to win, it will be a dog fight to get out of the tourney alive. I love the bracket we are in. Lets take care of business and go dancing again. Give Dex another shot at Gonzaga. Go Bison Horns Up!!

    Hope the Bison don't get a 16 seed (rematch with Gonzaga).

    We SHOULDN'T get a 16 seed, probably a 15, maybe a 14...... IF we win the the tourney.

    Though a rematch would be neat to see and compare to the benchmark set in Seattle.

    One step at a time, win the next game.

    Gonzaga may not be on the #1 line anymore. If Kansas, Nova, UCLA, and UNC all win their conference tournaments those are your 1 seeds. Which means NDSU, in all likelihood a 15 if they win the SL Tourney, could be matched up with the Zags in a 2/15 matchup once again.

    As for the tourney itself I think USD, NDSU, Omaha, SDSU, and IPFW all have "decent" shots to win it but there's definitely no clear favorite. I'm predicting USD/SDSU in one semi and IPFW/NDSU in the other and it's a total coin flip from there on out.

    Right now they have USD #15 vs #2 Baylor in the South region.

    The team to beat is USD. I still like our chances though. Bison are playing OK but not great right now. We can fix this. I hope AJ regains some confidence in his jump shot by tourney time.

    Dave Richman is the only coach in the league with a Summit Tourney title as a head coach. That won't change next week.

    I am a little concerned about AJ stepping up, he hasn't really proven to be able to do so in big games has he? He doesn't have to take over games just be solid. In years past he has seemed to shrink away in the spotlight.
