WYOBISONMAN Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I have been to the tourney a couple times when it has been in Ogden. A fun tourney and great atmosphere as long as Weber is still playing. If Weber loses, the crowds go way, way down. I hope Weber gets the #1 seed, then I may well run over for a game or two.

FSSD Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I am not sure how credible the CI Mid Major 25 is but I was looking at the rankings to see what conference championships I should follow. The following conferences look like they have two solid teams and could be games to watch in a couple of weeks: West Coast: 1 Gonzaga vs 4 Saint Mary's or 15 BYU MVC: 3 Wichita St vs 11 Creighton Mid-American: 5 Akron vs 17 Ohio Ohio Valley: 6 Belmont vs 13 Murrary State WAC: 7 LaTech vs 16 Denver Patriot: 9 Bucknell vs 23 Lehigh Horizon: 12 Valpo vs 22 Detriot Big Sky: 13 Montana vs 18 Weber St. Summit: 20 SDSU vs 21 W. Ill Each of these conferences have what appears to be great match-ups if they happen.. Looking forward to watching the Big Sky final no matter what team reaches the finals but most likely it will be Montana and Weber St. Hopefully UND can build a program to compete with those two programs. http://www.collegein...ajor-top-25.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSSD Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I did not really follow Weber St until UND joined the Big Sky.. but a what a nice mid major program: - nice historical track record (14 appearance 6-15 record in NCAA games) - Sport Magazine ranked Top 100 D1 Basketball Programs All Time - Weber St - 51 - Nice crowds - last year average 5,800 - Great arena - http://community.weber.edu/deeeventscenter/facilityinformation/DEC%20Arena.htm - Now potentially NBA rookie of the year http://www.nba.com/rookie-ladder/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are currently averaging 6,568 And not to toot our own horn, but Weber State owns the 22nd highest winning percentage in the nation.

nodakvindy Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Being a Carolina fan I still have nightmares about Harold "The Show" Arceneaux. Weber St. is definitely a worthy program and the class of the Big Sky. Montana has been strong recently and I remember they were a 16 seed in 1991 and got crushed a then-undefeated UNLV team. I also remember some pretty solid Montana State teams in the mid-80s. They had a guy named Kral Ferch who was an incredible dunker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferch was a highlight reel, his best was when they played St. Johns in the NCAA tournament and he dunked on Walter Berry, one of the best forwards in basketball that year who they called "a man playing with boys", that was incredible.

SWSiouxMN Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 yep, UND gets #3 spot for sure now. Not yet, SUU is still at 8-9 and can win out and jump us for the 3 seed due to head to head (they would be 2-0 against us). However, we for sure have a top 4 seed lock up as of tonight.

Dustin Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Not yet, SUU is still at 8-9 and can win out and jump us for the 3 seed due to head to head (they would be 2-0 against us). However, we for sure have a top 4 seed lock up as of tonight. SUU plays Monday at home, Thursday at UNC, and Saturday in Grand Forks. All the while, UND is off until next Saturday. We should have no excuse not to win against SUU and grab that No. 3 seed, which would be ideal for an extended postseason. BTW, are the Big Sky postseason games on Big Sky TV? I don't see why they wouldn't be, since they take place in a Big Sky venue, and since they're the most important games of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NODAK13 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The way the games have gone lately it's almost impossible to pick a winner and be comfortable with your choice. Every game is so close that a play here or there will decide the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDColorado Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Great, we play the dirtiest team in the league again. LOL I was thinking the same thing! What is with their guy who puts his shoulder down in the paint like a fullback? It appears he missed his calling as a football player.

Big10Sioux Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Obsessed with following UND basketball right now. I've usually been a casual basketball fan but am amped for the conference tournament. Good luck to the team and I can't wait to follow them into the NCAAs as Big Sky tourney champs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
