Here is the bracket for Sioux Falls
1) South Dakota vs 8) Fort Wayne at 12PM Saturday
4) Oral Roberts vs 5) Denver on Sunday
3) Western Illinois vs 6) Omaha on Sunday
2) South Dakota State vs 7) North Dakota State
This is my prediction for the tourney
USD will defeat Fort Wayne 78-51
Oral Roberts will defeat Denver 68-60
Western Illinois will defeat Omaha 88-64
SDSU will defeat NDSU 78-61 - closer than some may think
USD will defeat Oral Roberts 73-61
SDSU will defeat Western Illinois 86-76
SDSU will defeat USD 71-69 as USD misses a three pointer at the buzzer.

ORU beating Denver at the half, 33-24. They were tied at 24-24, then ORU went on a run.
Martianez is playing. No points but 5 rebounds.
Garvie is 4 for 4 from 3

ORU wins a close one but at least it was a close game for the entirety. The Coyotes will certainly be tested tomorrow but the teams confidence is very high so I think they will be ok. Up now is Western Illinois vs Omaha. It is probably better for the Coyotes if the Leathernecks win this one.

Western Illinois has just blown open a close game in the 2nd quarter and leads 56-26 at half. Clemens has 24. She looks very good and extremely motivated. The Leathernecks are taking better care of the ball and are not just settling for quick 3's like I have seen them do so often. They are looking good in transition as well. This is a team to be reckoned with and I am glad they will be the Jacks problem on Monday. I am not saying that the Coyotes are just going to roll over ORU but lets hope the WIU vs SDSU game will be a close one and a tough one. When the Jacks played WIU in Macomb the Leathernecks missed a boat load of open looks. They were very poor from outside and can do nothing but improve from that outing. The Coyote win at the SCSC over the Jacks could pay dividends tomorrow.

Anyone want to guess which WIU team will show up to play SDSU? They looked great against the Mavs, but for whatever reason seem to mail it in against the SD teams.

I think it's a testament to how much of a drop off in quality there is after the Dakota schools. I dunno. We saw 'good WIU' for about 7 minutes in Vermillion, and it was impressive. I tend to think it is mental as to why they have only been 'good WIU" for 7 minutes out of 160 against the SD schools... |

I'm happy to not play them in the semifinals. ORU is a tough team, too, but WIU remains very dangerous, in my view. The Rabbits will have the edge with the crowd, but I could see WIU going off on them. There are some seniors on that team that will be giving it everything. I'll predict a close win for State in an emotionally draining, back-and-forth game. Massey says SDSU 80, WIU 72. I'll go with a 85-80 Jacks win. Lots of threes. |

The SD schools are much better this year, but WIU are no slouches. |

I hope you're right in that it will be a much tougher game for State this go-around. But I don't know, I see another 20 point SDSU win against, what is supposed to be, a decent WIU team. |

Looks like WIU is crapping the bed down 44-24 with 3 mins left in the 2nd Q.
sdsu leads WIU 53-24 @ half.
WIU 9-27 2PT 35%
4-14 3PT 29%
sdsu 18-38 2PT 46%
7-15 3PT 47%
jacks lead rebounds 27-12
jacks lead TO 4-9
This one is over unless WIU starts making a lot of 3's

I really thought it would be more competitive this time around between State and Western. I can't believe how easily State handled them all 3 times. Western wins by 40 yesterday and then is down by 29 at the half today. That is pretty impressive. It is going to be tough as hell to beat them 3 times.
