Coming in Monday's College Hoops Summit?
My midseason MVP & 1st team All-Summit League selections. There are at least 12 guys worthy of consideration, but I'll narrow it down to six. Selections will be based on league play/stats only.
(all rankings NET, all times Central)
ST. THOMAS (17-6 overall, 6-2 Summit League, 9-11 ATS)
NET: Tommies move up 1 spot to #127
Torvik (T-Rank): Tommies stay at #126
#349 Kansas City (4-18, 1-7 Summit) @ #127 St. Thomas (17-6, 6-2 Summit)
Time (TV): 1 p.m. (CBSSN)
Place: Lee and Penny Anderson Arena, Saint Paul, MN
Series Record since St. Thomas move to D1: Tommies lead 5-3
The Spread: St. Thomas favored by 18.5
The Skinny: KC coach Marvin Menzies will not return next season. The 'Roos have lost six straight. Their only league win came Jan. 3 at Omaha.
Saturday Summit League Results/Highlights
#118 North Dakota State 89 @ #276 South Dakota 84, OT: The league-leading Bison (19-5, 9-0 Summit) needed overtime to beat the 'Yotes (12-12, 4-5 Summit) in Vermillion. Noah Feddersen paced the Bison with 20 points and nine rebounds, while Jordan Crawford (33 points, 7 treys) and Uzziah Buntyn (25 points, 6 rebounds) led the way for the 'Yotes.
@ #185 South Dakota State 95, #333 Oral Roberts 72: The Jackrabbits improved to 11-12 (4-4 Summit) behind 24 points apiece from Jaden Jackson and Joe Sayler. Ty Harper led ORU (5-19, 0-9 Summit) with a game-high 26 points.
#254 Omaha 84, @ #270 Denver 82: Ja'Sean Glover (19 points) scored 14 consecutive points in the second half to catapult Omaha back from a 13-point deficit. Paul Djobet paced the Mavericks (12-12, 5-4 Summit) with 27 points and 11 rebounds. Carson Johnson and Zane Nelson led the Pioneers (10-14, 3-6 Summit) with 19 points each.

Dribbles & Scribbles
-- Darryn Peterson missed the last 17 minutes of Kansas' highly anticipated game vs. BYU for. … cramping? Wow, those must have been SOME KIND of cramps! Usually, cramps are simply a hydrate and have the athletic trainer rub out the cramps kind of a thing & then you're back out on the court. That's apparently not the case with Peterson, the projected #1 or #2 pick in the next NBA Draft. I'm guessing Bill Self already is looking toward to next season when he'll be calling the shots again on the KU sidelines.
-- Teams moving dangerously close to the NCAA Tournament bubble that may surprise you, or they're already there: #29 Indiana (15-7), #32 Saint Mary's (18-4), #36 Georgia (16-6), #44 UCLA (15-7), and #45 San Diego State (14-6).
-- Book it. New Mexico 98, Santa Clara 71 played Dec. 6 in Albuquerque could be one of the most impactful bubble results on Selection Sunday.

Deep Thoughts, by Buzz Studley
Ohio State is the quintessential bubble team, like vanilla ice cream. Nothing in particular stands out about them and nothing about them is particularly offensive. The Buckeyes simply exist and scream NCAA Tournament (or College Basketball Crown) mediocrity.
