ORUTex Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 The #1 seed is particularly important, because St. Thomas is in the Summit tourney, but ineligible for the NCAA tournament. So if they manage to win it, the regular season champ (or #2 team if St. Thomas was the regular season champ) gets the bid, according to this article: https://tommiesports.com/news/2022/1/27/mens-basketball-summit-league-basketball-championships-set-for-expansion-in-2023.aspx St. Thomas must complete the five-year Division I transition period to be eligible for the NCAA Tournament. The earliest the Tommies could qualify is in 2026. If the Tommies were to win either the men's or women's tournament from 2023-25, then the regular season champion or highest-finishing team besides St. Thomas in the regular season standings would earn the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

ORUTex Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Today's updated ESPN/Lunardi Bracketology has ORU as a 13 seed against Xavier. Way too early to be meaningful, but that would be a very tough draw. Xavier is 12-3 off a win against #2 UConn, and their only losses are to ranked teams - #12 Indiana, #8 Duke, and #6 Gonzaga. https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/page/bracketology/ncaa-bracketology-2023-march-madness-men-field-predictions 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TrueBlue82 Posted January 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2023 Big game tonight for undefeated New Mexico at Fresno State. The Lobos survived with a one-point win at Wyoming last week and now stand alone as the nation's only undefeated team. I would love to see them win tonight and this weekend at home against UNLV so they are still undefeated BEFORE playing ORU. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dr. Cornelius Posted January 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2023 There has been a lot of complaining about the number of non-D1 teams on the schedule this season (including from myself). But according to ESPN's resident Bracketologist Joe Lunardi ORU did a pretty good job planning out the non-conference. Maybe this Mills guy really knows what he's doing 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUTerry Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 ORU drops to #63 (from 42). Both New Mexico and Utah State lost Saturday, which negatively impacted our ranking. Liberty moved up to #56. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogus Smith Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 With the loss yesterday to UNM, ORU's NET ranking drops from 62 to 65, while UNM's NET ranking rises three positions from 50 to 47. Glad that we can help UNM out. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 College insider dropped us two this week from 6 to 8. That's tough when you are undefeated in your conference and you still lose ground. Says more about the conference this year than the team, I guess. Let's hope we win two on the road this week in ND and move up in the polls.
