The regular season conference champion will be determined by winning percentage right? If so, then the NDSU series getting cancelled would clinch us that title and give us the #1 seed in the tourney. I'm not sure what to feel about that... Yeah - feels like it could be a 'win the battle, lose the war' scenario going into SLT without playing the last 3 games. I'm sure the players are all disappointed. Too bad, after the way yesterday played out, I really expected a more comfortable W today with Umude leading the way.

Ya, with a win today we would just have needed a split next weekend to get the 1 seed. Now if we play next weekend we might have to sweep depending on how the sdsu series goes. From what I hear all the players were negative this morning and not thought to be close contacts. Hopefully we won't be missing any practices.

So.......what happens if our covid infection extends into the SLT? I would imagine a team wouldn't be able to play and would have to forfeit. That would be an awful way to end a season. I'm not going to stress about that though. Also, I'm not very focused on seedings for the SLC either. Take games among the top four teams right now and every single one would be a tossup. The XDSUs played 80 minutes of basketball Friday and Saturday and there was a three point difference. USD and ORU was as close as a game could be. It was really disappointing to miss today's game because of another anticipated barnburner. So who's the favorite among those four? UND and UMKC are also easily capable of pulling an "upset" and we've all seen what can happen in the 1 vs 8 matchup lately. I know everyone puts a premium on the one and two seeds for the extra day rest, but that hasn't really seemed to matter much the past few seasons. I just think the SLC tourney is completely up for grabs and I wouldn't even venture to anoint a favorite.

The conference tournament is going to be wild. No doubt. A regular season championship is still great for hanging a banner and building recruiting clout. But, as we all know, that elusive ticket to the big dance is the one true goal.

Will you guys even be able to play this coming weekend with NDSU or are we going see you as number one seed. Then the games of SDSU and KC set the tournament seating most likely for other middle teams. I think you are right anybody can beat each other in this tournament we at North Dakota have beaten everyone but SDSU but there is not one team I could say that we could beat for sure and also i can say i think we could beat anyone on given night. I think how this tournament is going to be played without crowd is going to have effect to on the out come of this tournament. When they played Dakota Show case in back in December i thought games were more mental and less emotional it came down to each team mental toughness and ability to perform. In same thought process there are no seniors out there being it could be there last game i also think this will have effect on the game too. Should be good tournament and i have feeling winner may be surprise for many of us and i won't say who I'm thinking of becuase more likely they loose in first round. No its not my Hawks either but i do think they can make some noise in this tournament but one teams we have played that i thought if played us like that they could beat anyone be force to deal with.

Does anyone know if there was an update given on the coaches show tonight?

Really wasn’t much, but I would assume that interview was recorded earlier in the day so they probably didn’t have results back yet.

Any coincidence that this weeks games are against the Bison? Will the QAnon guy with the horns be in attendance? The Jewish space lasers are armed and ready.

Without question you want to win it by winning games and not backing into it. I’d rather play and lose and finish 2nd/3rd then not play and win it.. There is just one giant asterisk to this whole year. May this damn pandemic get behind us.
