Old Titan Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 In case you mised it: ORU's Big Sky home opponent Weber State was a 4-point winner Sunday AT Saint Mary's (yes, THAT Saint Mary's) after trailing most of the game by as many as 16 points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue82 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Grand Canyon beat Liberty tonight on the Flames' home court, snapping Liberty's 20 game home-win streak which was second longest in the country, behind UCLA's 29 game home-win streak. With the win over Ozark, ORU now slips into the second longest win streak in the USA with 20 consecutive home wins. Glad to see GCU playing Liberty and to see Liberty traveling to Tulsa last year. But it seems to me to be a no-brainer that the three like-minded schools with solid MBB programs would ink a multi-year contract with a rotating schedule with a home game and an away game for each during the year. It would ensure that either Liberty or Grand Canyon would be on the ORU home schedule every year, with a road trip to the other school, and then flip the rotation the following year. When mid-majors talk about all of the challenges of arranging quality home games, this just makes too much sense to me. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, might not be a bad choice for Oklahoma State… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to pay them last year to get a game and I heard that they told us they would never invite us back there. Not sure what the issues are (theological, recruiting, etc) but I heard that they were emphatic about it. The league decided against adding Grand Canyon a few years ago (thanks Dakota schools!) so I am not sure how they feel about setting up a series of games.

dave Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 If it's theological that is silly. I agree these schools should play one another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titansforever Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 This was the funniest line: If there is still a tie following the calculation of margin of victory, the two commissioners will compete in an arm-wrestling contest at the Final Four to determine the champion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dakota schools and this new commissioner are small time and don’t have a D1 mentality. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but as Assistant Commissioner Ryan Powell gushed in the most recent "Dakotaville" podcast, they sure are excited about that "Big Sky/Summit Challenge" logo & trophy!!
