Yep, the Summit is a long way from being a 2-bid league. It would take having a very competitive non-conference schedule (South Dakota State always schedules well), doing something with it (beating 2 or 3 legit at-large caliber opponents), have no bad (Quad 4) losses, and then completely...

His fellow superstar teammate is every bit as unlikable. Buh bye, Lebron. Take care of yourself with all those "vicious" hits you take to your face. You better go to the ER to get checked out.

Bleed, it starts with a decent (doesn't have to be great) non-conference schedule, and then doing something (winning at least a couple) with the impactful games in November-December..

An insanely, ridiculously early Field of 68 projection for the 2025-26 season. We'll do another one in 3 months, as by early August we'll actually know something about final rosters. An * indicates the projected automatic qualifier. FIELD OF 68 PROJECTION (May 1, 2025) America East (1)...

WTH, let's do an insanely, ridiculously early -- we don't even know rosters yet -- initial Field of 68 projection for the 2025-26 season. We'll do another one in 3 months, as by early August we'll know a lot more about rosters. An * indicates the projected automatic qualifier. FIELD OF 68...

They've had a few close calls. Would like to see them play Butler or DePaul (among others) but am skeptical Matta or Holtmann would risk that at this stage of their programs.

He's small, but I'll say this. Last season when he got his mop-up opportunities even though he's a walk-on he looked like he belongs. He can shoot, and despite his size he'll mix it up. Tough kid. I don't view him as a typical walk-on. Lot of competition at the guard spot, so he'll have to earn...

Agree, regular season champs would be better, but I'm guessing the smaller conferences don't want to give up the money ESPN (or whatever network) is paying them to broadcast the tournament.

That's completely up to the conferences. They get to choose how their automatic qualifier is determined, the regular season champion or tournament champion. If they want to ensure their best team plays in the NCAA Tournament, they could send the regular season champ.

Lafferty & Franks (based on what you & others have said about him) were the other two guys I contemplated as starters. Do you think Janowski is a starter from the get-go? Any chance Momcilovic will get minutes? I was sure impressed with his brother at NCAAs in Milwaukee.

Updated June 6 This spot is for all things 2025-26 Summit League non-conference schedules. If you see an announcement from a reliable source about a Summit League non-conference game, please add it here so I can update the schedule. Full disclosure, I'm pretty picky about what I consider a...

Updated May 2 Welcome to the new OT: St. Thomas/Summit League forum, and thank you to GopherHole. If you have an interest in UST or the Summit League, feel free to stop by anytime. College basketball discussion, in general, is welcomed, but the focus is Minnesota's second Division 1 program and...

The odds those 4 extra teams are from Power 5 conferences? It was inevitable, but thought it might be another year or two.

Thank you. 👍🏼 Appreciated.

Grand Canyon (WAC) and Pepperdine (WCC) confirmed for the Acrisure Series. Only one participant still TBD.

The best I've gathered, so far there are 13 known Big Ten commitments to 2025 MTEs (multi-team events). Only Illinois, Maryland, Ohio State, Penn State, and UCLA are TBD, if at all. Maryland is rumored to be joining the Players Era Festival shindig, but not yet official. Acrisure Series (3)...

My memory is fading, but there was a Gopher Hole golf outing & I can't remember if Mississippi Dunes was the location. I think Jason, Slim Tubby, Barn Burner, and Bleed were there? I recall BB and I were in the same group. Any of you remember it that way? It was a nice outing, but I played like...

Dates are announced later. Last year Big Ten released the schedule September 19.
