SIOUXELEVENS Posted March 2, 2023 Posted March 2, 2023 Beating Denver, Omaha and notre dame is probably why , we couldn’t beat Denver. 1
GO_FIGHTING_SIOUX_GO Posted March 2, 2023 Posted March 2, 2023 Did you see Minot State is having 2 exhibition games. 1 with Denver and 1 with Colorado College. They are gonna play at the end of December.

Expand I get that part but it's only 3 games. If I remember correctly, they also got swept by Penn State and split with the other 3. Split with St. Thomas as well. I think that Lindenwood will be their downfall.
MafiaMan Posted March 2, 2023 Posted March 2, 2023 So I’m curious…do any of the resident eggheads here see ANY scenario that pole vaults North Dakota from its current position to about #12 in the Pairwise after this weekend? Surely, this guy jests…

I’ve thought for many years why hasn’t there been a concerted push for Minot State to mirror the likes of some their D2 counterparts. Not saying that’s what this is but it’s still a pretty big deal. Can’t wait!

Expand Yeah, Dave said that their SOS was at 36 - 'middle of the pack' and they have 20 wins... #32. AIC 1-0-1 $46. UST 1-1-0 #11. Michigan Tech 0-2-0 #16. UNO 1-1-0 #29. Nmu 1-1-0 #49. Rpi 1-0-1 #8. Penn state 0-2-0 #51. Ak-Ank 4-0-0 #14. ND 1-1-0 #3. DU 1-1-0 #51. Ak-Ank 2-0-0 #41. Az state 2-0-0 #58. LIU 3-1-0 #41. Az state 2-0-0 So, basically, against anyone in the top 20 they are 3-8. Anyone in the bottom 21, they are 15-2-0. Ranked number 12, and I am at a loss. I know the math will check out, but feel that there ranking and probable slot in the NCAA's is not deserving. That's just me, not the expert, just an opinion.
