Thought this statistic on the two-game series the Summit is using this year was interesting... There have been 21 series so far in the Summit season (24 were scheduled, three were cancelled due to COVID). In a "perfect parity world", half of the series would be sweeps and half would be splits. Of course, home court advantage would assume that there would be slightly more sweeps than splits, with home team sweeps skewing the average. In the 21 series, there have been 12 sweeps and 9 splits. However, somewhat surprisingly, the home team has won six of the sweeps and the visiting team has countered with six sweeps (two of these by ORU) of their own. In a closer look, I think that the number of sweeps has been skewed higher because most of the matchups so far this season (15 of the 21) have been the top four vs. the bottom five, and the gap between #4 and #5 is significant. In those 15 matchups, there have been 11 sweeps (all won by the top four teams, whether home or away) and 4 splits. In the six top vs. top and bottom vs. bottom matchups, there have been 5 splits and 1 sweep, with the only sweep being this past weekend's road sweep by WIU at Omaha. Since the next eight Summit series over the next two weekends are all top vs. top or bottom vs. bottom, we will likely see more splits than sweeps... but those teams that can pull off the sweeps will definitely rise in the standings.

i will say watching Obaner play. he could be the Summit MVP , you should get him 20-25 shots a game
