jdub27 Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Per Tom Miller's article in the Herald, Solomon Rolls-Tyson has left the team and signed to play pro basketball in Norway. He was a transfer from Utah State Eastern College and had not played in any games this season. Quote

Apparently even with a redshirt year, it was unlikely he could contribute in the future. Not sure why we even brought him in. Quote

How will this affect the tournament? Same format as before Idaho joined? Quote

Not $h*tting the bed against ndsu at home, Portland State, and Northern Arizona would've helped as well. 1 Quote

Wins and Losses happen ...nothing noteworthy there Quote
AJS Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Went through the RPI's of all 15 & 16 seeds (Per ESPN) 15 CSU Bakersfield - 84 FGC - 86 NDSU - 100 Furham - 104 16 UC Irvine - 156 NC Central - 196 16 (Play in) Texas Southern - 127 Mount St Marys - 157 New Orleans - 167 UND - 171 Any idea why Texas Southern would be playing in one of the 2 play-in games and NC Central, which has the worst RPI, wouldn't? Regardless, UND has to keep winning and hope for upsets in other conference tournaments. Quote

Air Force One Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 The Big Sky tournament winner gets a play-in game? Quote
UNDBIZ Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 28 minutes ago, Air Force One said: The Big Sky tournament winner gets a play-in game? When that team goes 2-5 in non-conference play and loses to Northern Arizona, yes. Quote

And if I read this right, the Summit Tournament winner (NDSU in this exercise) gets a #15 seed and no at large bid? If the discussion on what conference was better, most seemed to believe the Summit was a much better basketball conference and should have the autobid and an at large. Is this a down year for both the Big Sky and the Summit? Quote

Is this a down year for both the Big Sky and the Summit? Read the multiple posts on here about both being one bid leagues. Neither will constently see an at large bid in the near future. I would say that the bottom of the big sky is down this year but the top teams are good. Just like years past. Quote

teamsioux Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 UND losing those first two close games in Dayton over Thanksgiving hurt computer rankings also. Especially when North Florida has been around 260 in Ken Pom when I have checked. The DI non-conference record would be 4-3. But it also took a 17 point second half comeback to win the last game there and prevent 1-6 record. Quote
