DAE was big in this one, but another big performance was from G. His 14 points off of the bench was much needed. 2nd time in 3 games where he has scored in double figures. If he can have a strong finish to the season, that could give UND a bench threat they so desperately need. I can't wait to see what he can do next season with a full offseason and summer program.

After the weekend games: Not much has changed in the bottom tier. WIU still holds down the 8th seed and still holds all the cards. DU is going to have to find a way to get tied before the final game. Some separation has occurred in the top tier. NDSU and SDSU took care of business but USD suffered a setback in Tulsa. USD is going to need a lot of help if they are going to win the conference, however they need to protect themselves from ORU because.... The Golden Eagles are ready to charge. 3 winnable games left on the docket. They are in the drivers seat for the 4 seed and if USD falters... they could be a 3. Omaha and UND will be a tight battle for the 5 seed. First one to 8 wins should be the 5. UND needs to steal one at home against NDSU/SDSU and then beat Omaha in Omaha. Omaha does have Fort Wayne and WIU on the road. 2 winnable road wins and then hold serve at home verses UND. Fort Wayne suffered two losses and now sit 1.5 back of UND. With games against Omaha at home and trips to DU and ORU their best chance is to either hold serve at home and beat DU, then hope UND only wins once to get to the 6th seed. Their hopes of a top 4 finish is slim to none.

It is how I am looking at it. Matched their win totals from last year. Still have 4 more games to go. Need to get one at home against SDSU or NDSU. Can't be any worse than a 7 seed in Sioux Falls.

Update on Sioux Falls Big winner this week was Oral Roberts, they not only took down Oral Roberts but they also took down USD. With wins against NDSU and USD on their docket and now they sit at 7-6 in conference play. With 3 games at DU, then at home against WIU and Fort Wayne, they have a great chance of ending as the 4 seed. The Big loser this week is USD. The ORU loss is a big hit to their chances of winning the conference. They are going to need a lot of help if they want to win the crown. They can help themselves by beating NDSU and SDSU and the fact that they play each other helps. However, they are going to need some serious help. Perhaps UND can be that help.... WIU and DU will still battle for the last spot in Sioux Falls. Will it come down to the last game? Who between UND, Omaha and Fort Wayne will end up as the 5? Predicted seedings as of 2/15 1) SDSU 2) NDSU 3) USD 4) ORU 5) Omaha 6) UND 7) Fort Wayne 8) WIU 9) DU

He has stepped it up in the last 5 games. It helps that he is now hitting from outside.
