Um Yah Yah!

June 1 Summit League Projection 1 North Dakota State 2 St. Thomas 3 South Dakota State 4 Oral Roberts 5 Omaha 6 South Dakota 7 North Dakota 8 Kansas City #ReachTheSummit

Not certain, but don't think so. At most only one would be a non-bracketed Charleston game. A lot of multi-team events are now only two games with no home games.

Kansas is the first of 365 teams with a complete non-conference schedule. #1 KANSAS (NCAA) Average Quad Rank of Opponents: 2.666 Plus/Minus Factor: +3.75 Nov. 2: FORDHAM (Quad 4) Nov. 6: MIDDLE TENNESSEE (Quad 4) Nov. 10: vs. #Kentucky (Chicago) (Quad 1) Nov. 17: vs. #UNLV (Las Vegas) (Quad 3)...

Also play Southern (NET #278) on Nov. 12. So far, 6 games TBD. An * denotes postseason participant. NET #81 MINNESOTA (Crown) – need 6 Nov. 2: NORTH DAKOTA (Quad 4) Nov. 12: SOUTHERN (Quad 4) Nov. 16: WESTERN ILLINOIS (Quad 4) Nov. 20-22: vs. #Dayton (Quad 2)/#Oklahoma State (Quad 2)/Utah...

A few Gopher guarantee games. Fighting Sioux NET #271, Western Illinois #364, UTSA #344. WIU & UTSA had worst NET ranking in their respective conferences. First weekend (Nov. 6-8) is still open.

"Urine Gold Country"?

I’ll update the Field of 76 projection every first of the month until the final Nov. 1 preseason projection. The season starts Nov. 2. An * denotes the automatic qualifier in a multiple-bid conference. FIELD OF 76 PROJECTION (6/1/26) America East (1): Vermont American (1): Wichita State ACC...

Interesting point about the quads. Using the last three seasons as examples, quad-wise here's what a game vs. The School Thou Shall Not Mention Here would have looked like for the Gophers: 2023-24 TSTSNMH Final NET Ranking: #159 The Barn: Quad 3 Neutral Site: Quad 3 The Penny: Quad 3 2024-25...

If it’s at a neutral site, the benefit is it’d likely be a Quad 2 game than Quad 3 (at The Barn).

It’s time. Niko knows that. If not every season, no reason they shouldn’t play frequently. Looking forward to this season’s matchup.

My guess for starters is a 3-year deal . … two at The Barn and a neutral-siter at Target Center or the Sanford Pentagon. Of course, a game in South Dakota pitting the two MN schools together would make no sense, but there’s so much going on in college hoops now that makes little sense, why not...

Big Sky series was discontinued. The Dakotas and Montana/Idaho schools are doing a 4-year deal with two games each season.

PURDUE BOILERMAKERS (NCAA) – need Dec. 19 Indy Classic opponent Nov. 2: vs. #Gonzaga (Las Vegas) (Quad 1) Nov. 6: VALPARAISO (Quad 3) Nov. 9: #ILLINOIS STATE (Quad 3) Nov. 13: OHIO (Quad 4) Nov. 17: LIPSCOMB (Quad 4) Nov. 20: OAKLAND (Quad 4) Nov. 24: vs. DePaul (Fort Myers) (Quad 3) Nov. 26...
