So I based my calculations off of the same potentially-faulty scoreboard wscsuperfan was trying to work off of (incorporating a few of the corrections that were posted in the scores and standings threads), so there's a decent chance a couple of these numbers are off. Someone who is more committed or more capable (both highly likely) is more than welcome to correct me if/where I slipped up.
Looking at what I was working with, I'm seeing the following records in crossover games from November 11th through 13th.
NSIC vs. MIAA
MIAA won with a final tally of 7 NSIC wins to 13 MIAA wins.
The games I had were:
11-11-16
NWMSU over UIU - MIAA
Crookston over SW Baptist - NSIC
Mankato over Pitt State - NSIC
Lincoln over UMary - MIAA
Missouri Southern over SCSU - MIAA
Central Missouri over Duluth - MIAA
Wayne over Missouri Western - NSIC
Lindenwood over Bemidji - MIAA
MIAA 5, NSIC 3
11-12-16
Lincoln over Crookston - MIAA
Lindenwood over Duluth - MIAA
Missouri Southern over Mankato - MIAA
SCSU over Pitt State - NSIC
Central Missouri over Bemidji - MIAA
SMSU over Fort Hays State - NSIC
SW Baptist over UMary - MIAA
Emporia State over USF - MIAA
MIAA 6, NSIC 2
11-13-16
NWMSU over Wayne - MIAA
UIU over Missouri Western - NSIC
SMSU over Emporia State - NSIC
Fort Hays over USF - MIAA
MIAA 2, NSIC 2
Final tally - MIAA 13, NSIC 7. Did I miss any games or did I have any mixed up wins/losses?
NSIC vs. GAC
NSIC tied the GAC with a final tally of 4 games to 4.
11-11-16
Moorhead over Harding - NSIC
Henderson State over Minot State - GAC
Northern over Southern Nazarene - NSIC
Augustana over Southwestern Oklahoma State - NSIC
NSIC 3, GAC 1
11-12-16
Augustana over East Central - NSIC
Harding over Northern - GAC
Southern Nazarene over Moorhead - GAC
Southern Arkansas over Minot State - GAC
GAC 3, NSIC 1
Final tally - NSIC 4, GAC 4. Again, if I missed any or mixed up any wins losses and anyone cares to correct me, feel free.
All in all, not the strongest showing from the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (and this doesn't even factor in Concordia St. Paul's three losses down in Puerto Rico). The only NSIC teams to walk away from the weekend with no losses are Augie and SMSU. Augie's games were both against GAC opponents, but East Central was picked to win their conference, so, in theory, they are at this point at least a contender to make the Regional cut.
Overall, the MIAA seems to have played pretty well against us. Since the end of the Regional Tournament last season, I'm pretty sure most people figured the Regional would be hosted by the Bearcats of NWMSU, and so far they haven't given us any reason to double back on that line of thought. Still, it's early. Give the Mavericks of Mankato a little more time to gel and they might contend. Or other NSIC schools might step up as the season rolls on. Not worth judging the entire season on the first 2 or 3 games of the year, but since there won't be a ton more cross-conference match-ups, I figured it would be worth a closer look.
Really curious as to how this Thursday's match-up between the Justin Pittses and the Vikings will go. I could see NWMSU winning by 25 and I could see Augie keeping it close. Neither would surprise me at all.
Then again, the Vikes have to take down the rival Vikes of Valley City State tonight before they start worrying about NWMSU.
