darell1976 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Is this something UND can get into next season in the Big Sky? We already had our ESPN game for the year. Big Sky Conference Home Away Montana ---------Eastern Washington Northern Arizona ---------Idaho State Northern Colorado ---------Montana State Sacramento State --------Portland State Weber State --------- Summit League Home Away UMKC--------- IPFW North Dakota State------ IUPUI Oral Roberts--------- Oakland South Dakota ------------Southern Utah South Dakota State------- Western Illinois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILDCAT Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I dont see why not, for the last two years, each team in the Big Sky participated in a bracketbuster, Im sure when UND joins they will also get that opportunity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILDCAT Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 The only problem is they try to avoid games between teams that have already played in the year or will play the next year. For Example, they wouldnt match Weber up with Southern Utah because they already played this year, and they would have to play again (if weber was at home they would have to return the game the next year), but SUU is joining the Conf next year. If UND and NDSU play every year, they will most likely not pair each other up in a bracketbuster. But if they havent played and there is no contract to play each other in the next few years, then it would be a possible matchup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it go by RPI's? 200 RPI vs 201 RPI or 199 RPI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes as long as North Dakota hasnt played Nebraska or Vermont earlier or later in that year or the next few years, they could be matched up. But yes they do try to match the teams up based on RPI, But it doesnt happen all the time, Weber's RPI is 90 but Texas Arlington's is 139. Weber has the 13th highest home RPI and UTA has the 17th highest away rpi which to me seems like they try to keep the matchups as regional as possible. Which is why I think UTA is our matchup and not someone like Drake RPI 97 or Bufflao RPI 98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
