GeauxSioux Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Nice win for the Sioux... Sioux cling to 73-68 victory on Senior Night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND92,96 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 IMO, this was UND's best win of the year. Seattle has beaten a number of established dI's this year, including Louisiana Tech, UC Irvine, Cal Poly, E. Washington and Loyola Marymount. Harrison, Harkins and Bledsoe all played very well tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND92,96 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Seattle defeated USD in Vermillion yesterday, making UND's win on Friday even more impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star2city Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 In theSagarin Ratings, Seattle is at #133, which is remarkable for a first-year Division I team. Seattle would be competitive in the WAC. South Dakota's ratings would make it an average team in the MAC or Sun Belt.

UND92,96 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I wonder why neither UND nor USD's men played Houston Baptist this year? The UND women will likely play HB three times this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Dakota's ratings would make it an average team in the MAC or Sun Belt. Sagarin only counts D-I games, coupled with the limited interplay between first year transitional schools (non-RPI counters) and established D-I teams makes the ratings more difficult Ex. Sagarin has USD at 211 based on a 4-6 record against D-I schools, however they are only 1-3 against RPI counters- tough to make much of a judgement off that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partly economics. The HBU men's team can get more guarantees or two-for-ones (why travel north when they aren't required to by conference) - whereas women's scheduling is more about the competition and not the $'s.

The sampling size of 10 is at least as good of quality as the first BCS computer rankings (with 6 or 7 data points). Futhermore, Sagarin is no doubt a better rating system than RPI.
