Keenan Henderson Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 Even last year the Eagles had to win the last two games of the tournament and first two games of the NCAA tournament on nail-bitters. It is usually just two or three points that seperates the champ from the challengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Henderson Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 A game to keep an eye on later today is SDSU at Western Illinois around 2 pm Central time. If they can play some defense, WIU has the talent to beat the Jackrabbits. Should be an interesting game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 SDSU is the real deal...Jacks stomping on WIU today.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Henderson Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 That post did not age well. SDSU shoots over 60 percent from the field and wins by 18. Not sure how ORU or anyone in the league is going to slow the Jackrabbits down, they just have so many weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Titan Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Watched the entire SDSU-NDSU game; my head said we needed an SDSU win to keep NDSU firmly in ORU’s rear view mirror, but my heart was pulling for the Bison. I just really like their coach and the way they play. Don’t get me wrong, Douglas Wilson and Zeke Mayo of SDSU are two of my favorite Summit League players, but Baylor Schierman is kind of a tool with all his dirty tricks and whining to the refs, and I get really tired of their coach Henderson thinking he’s the smartest guy in the room. Couple of really good teams; ORU will need to be playing at their best if they face either or both in Sioux Falls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this upset win, Omaha is in position to slip past Denver for the #7 seed. The Mavs are currently a game behind the Pioneers, and play essentially the same schedule for the remainder of the season (as they are travel partners). But, Denver still has to play at Omaha, so the Mavs could force a tie by winning on their home court. Right now, Omaha likely holds the tie-breaker due to their home win over WIU. As ORU is currently holding firm to the #2 seed, the battle for 7/8 has some interest for Golden Eagle fans. Personally, I think ORU matches up much better against Omaha than Denver, although ORU swept both this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Henderson Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 There has been a lot of up and down play from the middle of the pack Summit League teams. Tonight, KC leads Western by 17 at half and wins on the road against the Leathernecks. WIU had blown out St. Thomas in their last game but seemed out of it tonight. KC had lost to Omaha on a buzzer beater Saturday and came out on fire tonight. Will be interesting to see where WIU is on Thursday after tonight's performance. They have played a lot better in conference play on the road then at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theeagleman5 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 NDSU at Western Illinois tonight.....Bison vs. Leathernecks should be an interesting contest.....is it too much to ask that the home team help ORU out a little???...

Old Titan Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Grant Nelson is back from an early-season injury for the Bison; he’s a creative force in and out of the paint. NDSU is doing their usual late-season surge; the ‘Necks (and the rest of the league) have their work cut out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
