I think you're the champ until you aren't the champ anymore. NW by 10.
Cam Martin can keep it close by himself, he's the most dominant offensive player in the league (and I say that with ALL respect to Hudgins and Hawkins). I think for Southern to pull it off this week Clark and one more person (keep an eye on Parker Jennings) have to have big games. I think the Lions defense is noticeably better this season but we've seen lapses (Rogers State, most recent game vs Washburn) in that. But, if it turns into a track meet and the Bearcats aren't completely lights out from 3, then yeah, Southern's got a puncher's chance.
Can't wait to watch. I'd be on press row but, it looks like my wife may have to leave town for work tomorrow and I've got the kiddos. It will be on my big screen, though.

Unfortunately, I see NW by double digits. They are just too good this year and are blowing everyone out. We have not put together a full 40 minutes of good basketball yet in 2020. Everything has to break perfect for MSSU to keep it closer than this. I hope I'm wrong!!!

Northwest averages 17 more per game than their opponents in conference play. Four of their conference games have been decided by 10 points or less, which I guess technically is "a number," just not a very big one. :)
This year NW has had 10 games decided by 15 points or less already(including the lone loss). There are still 6 regular season games left- 2 against MSSU (the 2nd place team in the conference), on the road at MW who they beat by 9 at home, and at home against WU who they beat by 5 on the road earlier this year.
If you compare 10 point games or less (including losses) they have had 6 so far this year and a total of 3 last year in the regular season (6 including postseason).
This isn't meant to be sandbagging because they are obviously good and winning games but this idea that they are "blowing people out" may be a bit of hyperbole. NW fans have been spoiled the last few years to so maybe I've just been more keenly aware of some of these closer games. Also, last year was a history making year but it's my easiest frame of reference because it's the most recent season to compare to but also not a common season to compare against.

I'm looking at the roll they are on coming into this game. The average margin of victory in the last five games is 28. Very impressive!
