Re: Big Sky/Summit League Challenge this week
On the men's side, St. Thomas was picked 1st in the Summit League Preseason poll and is currently 6-3 on the season. They have played one Big Sky opponent, beating UNC 73-72 on a neutral court. Oral Roberts was picked 9th (out of 9) in the Preseason poll and is 3-6 so far with only 1 win against D-1 opponents.
For the women, NDSU was picked to finish 2nd in the Summit League and is 5-2 so far. UND was picked to finish 7th and is only 1-7 so far with their one win coming against Wyoming. Neither has played any other Big Sky opponents to this point.
Should be a fun set of games, I'm particularly looking forward to seeing how the women do against a good NDSU team on Wednesday to follow up their big win over Colorado!

So far this year consistently losing close games to good teams. Have a good feeling about tonight. Important to get off to a fast start.
