Exactly, Obanor is a beast and is only going to get better, Kearns is a solid guard with experience and the two seniors they lost only averaged about 11 ppg combined, though malone did lead the team in apg at 3.9. With a weaker conference this year, star players can carry teams to more wins and Obanor is a star player. I have them at 2 over USD and behind us
NDSU,USD, ORU will all be tough imo. Excited for the season, very talented group.
I think a lot of people hyping ORU a bit too much. Summit has always been a guard driven league. You have an exception with Daum because he could play the perimeter and open the court. NDSU had a great run last year because of their guards. ORU will be tough and capable but I wouldn't look at them as a sustainable favorite. Their guards are shotty and you can take the interior players away from the game. There is no reason NDSU shouldn't be able to win every game (they won't) but I would absolutely put my money on them and think they will be good.
I think bison will win the Summit easily this season!
