Hayduke Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Trying to figure this out. If they win the tournament, that is not an automatic NCAA bid. But, are they eligible for the NCAA tournament this year? I thought they had a year up on the men's program. If not, is there a post season possibility at all? Quote
petey23 Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 No autobid for this conference and UND isn't elligible until next year anyway, but they could be selected for other postseason tournaments. Does anyone kn ow why Chicago State is not playing in the Men's tourney? Seems weird to host an event and not play? Quote
MadScout03 Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 I believe Chicago St. can't play in the tournament because of academics. I don't remember the details surrounding it, but they weren't in compliance with certain rules or regulations. After searching for more information, I found this... "If after all that, you're still interested in seeing the Great West Conference Tournament, great news! It's being held in Chicago! Sadly, the hometown team, Chicago State, won't be playing, as they were banned from postseason play by the NCAA for having an Academic Progress Rate below standards." Source Quote

Like last year the GWC champ has an autobid to the CIT. Quote
bincitysioux Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Like last year the GWC champ has an autobid to the CIT. Just to point out, the autobid for the CIT is only on the men's side. The women don't receive a bid to any post season tourney for winning the GWC. However, there is a women's tournament called the Women's Basketball Invitational. Roebuck has said that if they win the GWC tourney, UND may have a pretty good chance of being invited to that. Chicago St. and South Dakota participated in the WBI last year along with schools like Cleveland St., Idaho, Northern Colorado, and Wright St. just to name a few. UAB won it last year. Womens Basketball Invitational Quote
bincitysioux Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Also, there is apparently no internet stream available for the GWC tourney................ At least UVU provided that much last season. I can't wait to be in the Big Sky.................. Quote

Womens Basketball Invitational I hope UND gets invited to the WBI, as for the GWC tourny I hope UND can get over their road woes and step it up in the tournament. We need to make a statement, we already beat the Summit League champion, the Big Sky champion, our closest rival all in one season. Despite free throw hell and road woes if this team can pull it together and play solid basketball we can not only win the GWC tourny but make a dent in the CIT. Next year we take the Big Sky by storm!!! Quote

It would be nice for the Women to send Gene out with another conference Championship! Quote

darell1976 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 NJIT vs UVU 5pm UND vs UTPA 7:30pm Seeds 1-4....Should be some good games. GO UND!!!! Quote
UND92,96 Posted March 10, 2012 Author Posted March 10, 2012 UND is up 50-27 with just under 16 minutes to play in the second half. Quote
darell1976 Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 UND to play Utah Valley tomorrow night for the title. UND has won 20 games this year and 11 in a row!!!! GO UND!!!!!! Quote
