12-12 and 6-2 in the conference, about as good of a start as you could have expected. The back half of the schedule begins Thursday at St. Thomas and would say it’s a tougher half then the first. Looking at it, I would say there are 3 or 4 that I fully expect to win (@ USD is the questionable), otherwise will need to steal a game or 3. 9-7 conference finish is the minimum, in my opinion. 

We're going to win the conference. This team may not be the most talented team off all time, but they're gritty and have that "it" factor!

Anyone know where I can place a future on UND winning the conference? Year 7 was always the year!!

Combined record of UNDs conference wins 24-69 (25.8%)

There’s been a lot of talk about how down the Summit is this year and I don’t think it’s necessarily wrong but just wanted to take a look so this chart is based off KenPom. Only one year since being in the league have we been “above average”.

Thanks for the graph! All I got to say….

OUCH!

Crazy that even though we are currently in the top 3 of Summit League in 2026 that we can be that far below the top 3 average.  Or is the graph not based on conference standings and purely based on KenPom...

Purely KenPom. So big hole from the non-con.

And combo that with we really haven’t beat anyone good in conference play

I was looking for relatively impressive non-conference wins for Summit teams, and they're pretty few and far between. Denver actually has by far the best win, at #89 Colorado St. They have also beaten #149 Montana St. and won at #188 Northern Colorado. 

The next best after Denver's win at CSU? Believe it or not, UND with its win over #123 Winthrop.

NDSU has wins over #136 Southern Illinois, #151 Montana and #156 Drake.

St. Thomas doesn't really have any particularly good non-conference wins, with their best being over #188 Northern Colorado and #192 Portland.

Omaha won at #153 Portland St.

ORU has wins over #149 Montana St. and #165 Kennesaw St.

USD and SDSU haven't beaten any non-conference opponents ranked any higher than the low 200s.

I do wonder if we flip the results in some of the UC Riverside, CSUN, Montana and WIU games, where we would be in KenPom. Regardless, in a 1 bid league all that really matters is the SLT in March.

Wins in St Paul and Fargo would beat the fraud allegations
