FSSD

I would say three needs: Point, Shooting Guard and Center.

If only USD stayed on course.. You would have: UND/USD UM/MSU UI/ISU Sac St/Davis Poly/NAU PSU/EWU Weber St/UNC This is far more interesting than what tSL is going to be shortly. You might have been able to pull NDSU and SDSU over and form two division: Division A UND/NDSU UM/MSU UI/ISU USD/SDSU Division B Sac St/Davis Poly/NAU PSU/EWU Weber St/UNC

I really like Panoam but I don't see him as a true point guard. I believe that Thomas was supposed to be that true point guard and it never happened.

No true PG on the team. The portal miss on the PG position hurt.

Free throws

Well, 3 straight turnovers doesn't help (travel, bad pass, bad pass)

He is a bit of clown. USD fans don't really like him that much either. He isn't really interested in anything beyond Sioux Falls and Brookings. His best coverage in baseball - townball guy. And the reality is if you like baseball there are many others that provide better coverage.

True but, we are playing SDSU so the stands will be full.

Men's bracket Wednesday (8) UMKC vs (9) Oral Roberts, 7 p.m. Thursday (1) Omaha vs UMKC/ORU, 6 p.m. (2) St. Thomas vs (7) Denver, 8:30 p.m. Friday (4) NDSU vs (5) USD, 6 p.m. (3) SDSU vs (6) UND, 8:30 p.m. Saturday Semifinal (1/8 vs 4/5), 7 p.m. Semifinal (2/7 vs 3/6), 9:30 p.m. Sunday Championship, 8 p.m. This worked out pretty well for the Summit League. You will have one Dakota school reaching the finals. I hope that Omaha and St. Thomas have fans that travel.

Hmm, know what the rules are before making a decision. Finally something that makes sense.

To be clear, my vote is to Pass and not add schools. What does adding SUU and Utah Tech solve for the Summit League. They should be in the Big Sky with with N. Arizona and Weber St. They do nothing for the Summit League.

The dumbest thing possible is adding SUU and Utah Tech.

There is no need to add schools at this point in time. If a school leaves then try to add schools (Augie is the perfect emergency school). But, you just added two mouths to feed and they literally add nothing. All they are a net negative for the conference. There is no finacial gain with those two schools. At least Augie would add to the bottom line of the conference. They would help sell tickets for the conference championships and at regional games for several schools. Why did the conference let W. Ill go if they are you simply going to add the Utah schools. The last 6 moves by the conference: Omaha, Denver, ORU, KC, UND, St. Thomas - plus they drop WIU. All good moves. Then you add these two schools? What, Chicago St isn't available? There is no need to act. The Utah schools are a much better fit in the Big Sky. I noticed that they weren't dumb enough to take SUU back. I guess we can looki forward the SUU starting fights in the bathrooms again at conference tournament.

Best option is to pass..

Are you kidding? SUU and Utah Tech don't add anything to the conference.

When you say fund this, I take it as you need the scholarship dollars because there is limited revenue to actually share for smaller programs.

Nice job Mr. Miller, please keep expanding your coverage. I am all for hitting SF and South Dakota hard on the recruiting trail.

And it puts UND, DU, StT, Omaha, W. Mich, and Miami .... Bowling Green, Ivy's, Holy Cross etc all in a bind. And UMD, SCSU, CC, Min St, Augie and others are in a better position to complete. If I'm Augie - opt in make a splash.

Tough games..

11 looks lost and he didn't even get back on defense .. and why is he crashing the O boards... giving up a 4 on 3. Good Grief.

I believe both Montana schools are opting IN.

Well, 59 - 44 SDSU at the half - they made a little run. SDSU can run any set they want not much resistance.

48 - 40 with 4 min in 1st half. UND hanging around. But, it feels like SDSU is going to takeoff.

Maybe it's because Oral Roberts is so down and people aren't used to St. Thomas leading the way for the conference.

Yes, I was hoping UND was back in on the OL from GF, but confirmed his commitment to SDSU. So, he didn't follow DF to WSU.
