NSIC Men's Tournament Bracket

Re: NSIC Men's Tournament Bracket

Boy did this turn into quite the pissing match. Both are great players, both have had great careers, and both will have at least one more game to play. Just enjoy it while it lasts. Or, well, I guess many of you won't :)

Re: NSIC Men's Tournament Bracket

If you take Davis off SCSU, they are not a great team. They would have Smith, Thiesen, and a whole lot of spare parts.

Not a great team, I would argue that they would hardly be a mediocre team without Gage. In Theisen, you have a jump shooter only, and with Smith considering the number of games this year where he was not a factor at all, how much would he provide. I was hoping for 13 wins this year, and have gotten a little better than that. Next year it may be single digit wins and that may be VERY generous.

Re: NSIC Men's Tournament Bracket

If nothing else its just good to have some back and forth on here before the board goes stone cold quiet for about 6 months here starting at the end of the month.

Haha well I suppose that's true...been good knowing y'all again the past couple months!

Man, I'm bummed......I was planning on an all-expenses paid trip to sunny Sioux Falls tonight.

Re: NSIC Men's Tournament Bracket

You would be correct! :) We hope all of you are enjoying Midco Sports Network's coverage of the NSIC Tournament! It's an absolute blast to do it every year and our production crew puts in a lot of long days and nights to make it all happen. Enjoy championship Tuesday!

You guys do a fantastic job. Safe to say we all appreciate the work and time you put into it. (Well, except for the Winona fans. They hate Sioux Falls... haha)

Absolutely agree. All the hard work is certainly appreciated!

In the loss, Kendall Jacks moved into second place on WSC's all-time scoring list with 1,626 points, passing Tyler Johnson's 1,625 points (1995-99).

Grady Hansen (1979-83) holds the all-time scoring record with 1,942

Stellar career for Mr. Jacks. Somehow it felt like the team lost its offensive focus the last few minutes of regulation. Jacks was our best scoring matchup last night (and most nights, frankly) but it seemed like he didn't get the ball much late in the game, and hardly at all in overtime. I'd like a do-over on that, but you have to live in the moment.

Hopefully he hasn't played his last game in a Wildcat uniform yet, but that is out of our control. I'm pretty certain, wistfully thinking back, that Coach Sather still owes me a round from his Grad Assistant days in Wayne. If he can rally his tired team to another victory tonight I will consider that debt more than paid in full.

Not sure about losing offensive focus as much as going from winning to keep from losing the game. Thought they wanted to concentrate on running the clock instead of attacking the basket.

This has been a conference tournament for the ages, generally when AU is eliminated I lose some interest with all these tight games I've watched most games. Love having a Roku device (thanks Witt) I can watch them on the HD TV.

Bruggeman may be somewhat despised, but he really has that it factor to take over a game IMO he is the best in the league. He makes flopping an art form and backs it up with high free throwing percentage.

Re: NSIC Men's Tournament Bracket

Any Predictions tonight? With all that said, I'm still picking the better team tonight in Northern State by about 8 or 10. I just think they are too deep for smsu and provide too many matchup problems. I think King will be the X factor tonight

Northern is the favorite no doubt, but man there's just something about this senior group. They've accomplished so much (3 straight Tournament championship games) and it wouldn't surprise me to see them pull another one out.

Re: NSIC Men's Tournament Bracket

We saw a bad game for Bruggeman last night. What could happen if we get a good performance from him tonight? Add in a couple other senior standouts in Lee and Schafer stepping up when they need to and key contributions from some young guys, this could be interesting. I'm certainly not counting us out.

Re: NSIC Men's Tournament Bracket

I would not out the line at 8 or ten...I'll give NSU a -1.5 line...lay your fake bets. Without Bo we arent in trouble but definitely susceptible. Cheers to the fan fights

Anything possible at this point. Especially third game in three days.
