theeagleman5 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Excellent insight by Doc....and TheEagleman wonders if Vanover's knee can hold up with 3 games in 4 nights....Connor is a key component of this ORU team on both ends.....never thought you would hear TheEagleman say that, huh??.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the course of a multi-day event teams that rely on outside shooting could fade. ORU will have days off so that'll help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Titan Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Not sure why, but Western Illinois @ North Dakota (an important game for deciding the four Friday teams in Sioux Falls) is being played at 11am today. Perhaps weather related?

dave Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Wow! An important game on the schedule for those guys will feel like an intraquad scrimmage game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 The Leathernecks have a little to prove this year. They should be proud of the improvements they have made this year. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 The WIU win locks up no worse than a 6-seed for the Leathernecks; they now have avoided playing in Friday's 7-thru-10 first-round games. A win Saturday night at NDSU could vault them all the way to third place, depending on how St. Thomas and NDSU finish up.

TrueBlue82 Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 If I’ve got this right, UST is now locked into the 4/5 game.  The winner of the WIU/NDSU game earns the three seed, and the loser will play the Tommies in the 4/5 game.  The 4/5 winner would be ORU’s potential opponent in the semis.   ORU’s first round matchup will be against the 8/9 winner from Friday night.  Still too many variables to know who will play in the 8/9 game, but it will likely be UND and the winner of the Denver/Omaha game this weekend.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
