Old Titan Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Can't face a South Dakota team until the finals, and with "chalk" outcomes no North Dakota school, either. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the draw. Especially avoiding SDSU until a potential championship match up. Browsing around conference tournament brackets I found this from the WCC. Look at how they protect their #1 and #2 seeds! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be awesome, but the Summit League and the Sioux Falls Tourist and Convention Bureau would never go for it: the first couple of days would be too poorly attended in the arena/hotels/restaurants/etc. on both the men's and women's side, since the South Dakota schools traditionally end up in the top four of their respective regular seasons.

Keenan Henderson Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 It is a good draw and would be even better with a few upsets! I would like to see ORU play: Denver, WIU, and South Dakota. That would be a dream draw for the Eagles. May not happen but one can hope! Tournament time is exciting because you never know what can happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Refresh my memory: if St. Thomas were to upset ORU in the semi's and go on to win the whole thing, does ORU still get the auto bid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. I posted an article with this confirmation earlier. Too lazy to find it again now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
