2023-2024 Season

[UND1983]

This team is on FIRE.  Damn they can score the ball right now

[Nodak78]

"UND is riding a seven-game winning streak, the program's first in the Division I era. The last time that NoDak won eight straight in a season was during a ten game winning streak in the 2007-08 season. The last time UND won eight straight conference games was part of a nine game NCC winning streak in 1994-95."

Looking ahead at the remaining 5 games of the season. What’s everybody’s thoughts? What’s our record over the final 5 games? 
 

I wouldn’t be shocked if we go 1-4 with a win at home against USD. We do not have an easy schedule to end the season. Also wouldn’t be shocked at 3-2 with wins over DU, ORU, and USD.

Right now I'd be happy with 3-2 but I think more like 1-4.  Still gun shy from previous Sather teams that always let me down.

I’m going to be optimistic and say 3-2. I agree with who you have them winning against too.

Just when I was getting interested in attending the tournament - would like to feel we would be playing beyond the first round both women and men. 

[ND-fan]

I think the men have good chance to advance from first round but nobody this year in Summit can’t be beat teams are very close in talent and comes down to each nights performance. The women’s team will probably will not advance this year just not playing at high enough level to win a game.

Yes, I was pretty hyped for the Summit Tourney as well.....until last Saturday.

[gfhockey]

I have a group of four including me that we’re planning on going down to until last Saturday but if they still finish top three, I still may plan to go

Last Saturday sucked but I feel like this is dramatic.

This really feel like a race to 11 wins. 

UM-KC last four:  USD, UNO, DU and ORU.  They can make to 10-6.

UNO last four:  SDSU, ORU, UMKC, StT.  It feels like UNO ends up 8-8.

StT last five:  USD, NDSU, SDSU, UNO, DU.  This looks like 3-2 for final record of 9-7

SDSU last five:  UNO, DU, StT, UND, NDSU.  They play the top 3 schools and a tough UNO.  So, they do they go on a streak to win it - 11-5.  They lose to UND or NDSU.

NDSU last five:  DU, StT, UND, USD, SDSU.  The schedule is a little better for NDSU.  They lose to UND or SDSU.  10-6.

UND last four:  ORU, NDSU, SDSU, USD.  I for sure see 2-2 but I am calling 3-1 with a lose to NDSU or SDSU.  11-5.

UND and SDSU share the title.  St. Thomas is the wild card.  Can they beat SDSU or NDSU?

If St Thomas wins the tournament does the regular season champion get the auto bid?

Good question.  Or second place in the tourney ?

 

[Kassonvike]

Found this on Wiki page so must be true:  If a team that is not eligible for the NCAA Tournament wins the Summit League Tournament, the conference's automatic bid goes to the highest seeded postseason eligible team.

Regular season champ.

This really feel like a race to 11 wins. 

UM-KC last four:  USD, UNO, DU and ORU.  They can make to 10-6.

UNO last three: ORU, UMKC, StT.  I had UNO at 8-8 previously.  I am thinking that it might be 7-9.

StT last four:  NDSU, SDSU, UNO, DU.  This looks like 3-2 for final record of 9-7.  Still sitting at 9-7 because they have xDSU on the road.

SDSU last four:  DU, StT, UND, NDSU.  They play the top 3 schools and a tough UNO.  So, do they go on a streak. - 11-5.  They lose to UND or NDSU.  No change, but they got lucky with the win on the road in OT against UNO.  UNO handed the game over.

NDSU last four:  StT, UND, USD, SDSU.  The schedule is a little better for NDSU.  They lose to UND or SDSU.  10-6.  I am shocked that NDSU lost of DU.  That lose hurts and I think 9-7 is more realistic.

UND last four:  NDSU, SDSU, USD.  I for sure see 2-2 but I am calling 3-1 with a lose to NDSU or SDSU.  11-5.  Big road sweep this weekend for UND.  NDSU is a huge game.  UND will need to be ready to play next Saturday.

UND and SDSU share the title.  St. Thomas is the wild card.  Can they beat SDSU or NDSU?  Not much of a change.  The last two weeks is going to be fun to watch.  So, many games between the top 4 schools.

[ND-fan]

Und controls its destiny if they win there next two games should have piece of conference championship and if they win next two should then win final game giving them conference title right out.  This could end up with two teams tied for second place, and four or five teams tied with record of 8-8 for third place, if things went right not more than game separating these places. Sure, going to be wild finish in the conference and the conference tournament.

This team is playing with a mission.  They could be playing for a championship and dancing.  However, the standing so close top 5-6 teams could win the tournament.  If I could get the time off I would attend this year potentially so many good games available.

I’m back in

[forksandspoons]

Awesome weekend! Go out and win the league!!

[sioux24/7]

This team can be so damn good. Wow. Winning is freaking fun!

[FSSD]

Game against NDSU will be interesting.  NDSU got away with a guard on Omot last game and they won the match-up.  I have to think Omot might be looking forward to that match-up again.

[UND-FB-FAN]

Awesome progress this year out of mbb program. Need to finish well; this will make the remainder of the season fun and worth watching!
