Update on results after day 1: Summit losing 4-5. for the most part the upper-tier BSC teams are winning and the lower-tier losing. North Dakota and Kansas City lost to similarly-ranked teams. Omaha appears to be a lot better than their NET ranking... South Dakota and NDSU, not so much. * edit: Omaha's current NET rank is actually ahead of NDSU, and is UND at the bottom of everyone. A lot has changed in a couple of weeks.

Jan 8 Updates (on first post) -
The standings haven't changed because there weren't any conference games last week. The NET rankings haven't changed much either. SDSU moved up to #2 in the conference behind St Thomas, USD moved down to #9 just below UND... (yay)

late mid-week update this week.... was gone from wed-wed last week.
NET There has been a re-sorting of teams gradually over the first half of the season, with ORU, NDSU and USD all gradually falling in the NET rankings, and St Thomas, Denver and Omaha gradually climbing. SDSU has hovered in the 2 to 3 ranking all season.
Right now the top-3 of St Thomas, Denver and State has separated from the pack, NET-wise.
USD remains at the bottom, with Kansas City and North Dakota close-by.
Standings Denver and SDSU are tied for the top spot, both 3-1. Denver has beaten the Jacks head-to-head.
St Thomas and Omaha are tied for #3, both 3-2. They have not yet played each other.
USD, surprisingly, is at #5, with a 2-2 record (exactly the same as the USD women). Hopefully the unexpected win over the Tommies leads to some more competitive games and improvement through the season! Considering we were picked #6 preseason, any finish above that would be respectable IMHO.

I've been updating the standings each week, just not posting about it. There were three upsets yesterday and the standings are insane. There are four teams tied at 4-4. We are still last, but absolutely not out of it.

The beads on my old abacus almost melted down trying to come up with the projected seeds for the years Summit League tournament. It has never done this before, but it said: WARNING - EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED. With that being said, this is my best guess for now:
1 - UND 2 - SDSU 3 - St Thomas 4 - NDSU 5 - KC 6 - Omaha 7 - Denver 8 - ORU 9 - USD

Updated first post with standings and NET rankings. Biggest story this week? North Dakota and Oral Roberts trading places, both in the standings and the NET ranking.

The abacus is still calling from changes as the standings currently sit, but if the current standings were to hold, Saturday night in the Denny could be epic, perhaps even Ben Pyle epic.

It is not likely to play out this way, but the regular season could end up like this:
UND 10-6 SDSU 10-6 KC 10-6 Toms 9-7 NDSU 9-7 Mavs 7-9 USD 6-10 Pios 6-10 ORU 5-11
It would be a real treat trying to figure out the tie-breakers were this to happen.

Post by GoYotes on Feb 25, 2024 15:24:09 GMT -6
NDSU could also get to 10-6 and USD drop to 5-11 making for a 4 way tie for first.

Here are my updated AbacusVerified™ predictions for the SLT seeds heading into the final weekend of the regular season:
1 - SDSU 2 - KC 3 - UND 4 - NDSU 5 - Toms 6 - Mavs 7 - Pios 8 - ORU 9 - USD
Seeds 3, 4 & 5 could end up shuffling around with the same 3 teams in any order depending on how the games play out today and tomorrow (KC & ORU don't play until Sunday). USD & ORU could potentially switch spots, but all that affects is what bench they sit on next Friday.

Thanks, Kiyoat! It looks like we align with the rest of our conference mates with an average number of outbound transfers and returning minutes. State’s entire roster is practically turning over and the league returns only 1 all conference player. Yikes. Depending on inbound talent, UMKC may be the pre-season favorite. It will be interesting to see who is relying on the portal vs high school recruiting.

Honestly, when you look at things from a "minutes lost" to graduation and transfer.... The Yotes aren't in that bad a situation! A few of our transfers out never saw the court this year. If our coaches can convince Holt to come back, we might be right up there with KC and NDSU in terms of stability. Maybe higher.
If we are counting Honorable mention All-Conference players along with first and second-teamers, that makes two returning from the Summit. Not a bad situation for the Yotes. Kaleb Stewart likely has people in his ear, telling him to transfer. And yet he is still with the Yotes...
When you consider that we finished in the last place of a poor mid-major conference... the fact that we have (so far) only lost a handful of players, (most of them non-contributors) this staff has these kids believing. That's impressive. Look at the exodus from ORU as an example.
