It's that time of year. Starting today, the College Hoops Summit (CHS) moves away from "Dribbles and Scribbles" to focus on daily "Bubblicious Board" updates. We're mostly about the bubble and the Summit League from now until Selection Sunday.
(all rankings NET, all times Central)
ST. THOMAS (20-6 overall, 9-2 Summit League, 11-12 ATS)
NET: Tommies drop 2 spots to #111
Torvik (T-Rank): Tommies drop 1 spot to #124
#111 St. Thomas (20-6, 9-2 Summit) @ #259 Omaha (12-14, 5-6 Summit)
Time (TV): 7 p.m. (SLN)
Place: Baxter Arena, Omaha, NE
Series Record since St. Thomas move to D1: St. Thomas leads, 6-3
Earlier This Season: First meeting
The Spread: St. Thomas -4.5
The Skinny: It's a rematch of last season's Summit League Tournament championship game, which Omaha won 85-75 to earn its first-ever NCAA Tournament berth. The Tommies can move within a half-game of league leader North Dakota State (idle tonight) with a win.
Wednesday Summit League Results/Highlights
#269 North Dakota 72, @ #277 South Dakota 71: The Fighting Sioux (15-13, 9-3 Summit) received a game-high 24 points, three rebounds, and three assists from rising redshirt freshman Greyson Uelmen, who scored 19 after the halftime break. Reggie Thomas chipped in with 10 points and three steals. The Yotes (14-13, 6-6 Summit) were led by Cameron Fens' 22-point, 12-rebound double-double. Vince Buzelis added 17 points, five rebounds, and three assists.

Deep Thoughts, by Buzz Studley
Santa Clara (22-5) is a good basketball team, but I’m skeptical the Broncos will receive an at-large bid unless they beat Gonzaga or beat St. Mary’s a second time. It’s likely a requirement the Broncos beat one or the other because of its Quad 4 loss to #310 Loyola-Chicago. The Selection Committee has a tendency to punish non-Power 5 at-large candidates (like Santa Clara) for bad losses, but not those from the Power 5.
