AJS Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 There are three conference championship games tonight that have a huge impact on potential NCAA seeding for the Big Sky winner. Right now, without any upsets in the conference tournaments, UND (if they win) would be in the play-in game. Tonight Northeast: Mt. St. Mary's (164) vs St. Francis (256) on ESPN 2 @ 6pm Summit: SDSU (168) vs Omaha (127) on ESPN 2 @ 8pm Horizon: Milwaukee (255) vs N. Kentucky (91) on ESPN @ 6pm Teams in bold either have worse RPI's than UND or would if UND won three in a row to win the conference championship. Let's hope a couple can pull off the upsets tonight. Edit: Added current RPI's according to ESPN Quote
jdub27 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Here are this teams that have already punched their ticket and their current RPI. I'll try to keep it updated as the tournaments continue. UND currently at 172 Jacksonville State (154) Florida Gulf Coast (86) Wichita State (27) Winthrop (70) UNC-Wilmington (26) Iona (91) East Tennessee State (57) Northern Kentucky (89) Mount St. Mary's (152) South Dakota State (155) Gonzaga (10) Updated for games completed through 3/7 Quote
darell1976 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 A win by Milwaukee would be historic, as the worst team ever to be in March Madness, 23 losses. The record is 20 last set by Liberty in 2013. Quote
Sioux>Bison Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 The summit championship game looks like a ton of fun! Can't wait for a few years!!! this tourney draws a ton of basketball fans in Sioux Falls (at least for last night) so why couldn't we host a hockey regional there??? 3 Quote

I agree - The Summit League conference tournament will be a great annual event and I'm also looking forward to attending. Go Hawks! 2 Quote

Go Hawks! I heard during the UNO-IUPUI game yesterday that they set a tournament record over 11,000 and the announcer said of course it was SDSU vs USD that helped that. If you had a final four of all the Dakota teams that would be an incredible site in Sioux Falls. 1 Quote

They put in for one there, waiting to see if it gets picked. UND will most likely put in the REA, Fargo, and Sioux Falls for regionals. Quote

SWSiouxMN Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 NKU, SDSU and Mount St. Mary's all punched their tickets tonight Quote

Well I read a story that when Daum redshirted they weren't even sure he could play at this level. He worked his tail off and got beat on by Cody Larson for a year. He's come a long way in a short period of time. Wouldn't be shocked if he left early. Quote

darell1976 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Alcorn State played Texas Southern in the SWAC Championship, however they said Alcorn St is ineligible for the NCAA Tournament due to a low APR. Can you imagine the team that close to the dance only not being able to go because kids didn't study. Shows the importance of education. 1 Quote
UNDBIZ Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Anyone else watching this sun belt championship game? 5 minutes in and it's tied 2-2 and it's not because of stellar defense. Quote

I didn't know the Sun Belt played hockey, much less hockey with goaltending that poor. And these posts are in the wrong forum. Oh-wait ... what!?!?! Quote
