Top Stories:

The top story continues to be the mounting injuries for the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles.  After losing sixth-man Warren Niles to a broken hand, it looks like this year’s team just may be cursed or something along those lines.  How else do you explain losing four players for the season, plus two more with broken [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2009/12/18/checking-in-on-the-summit-league-9/feed/ 0 Checking in on… the Summit League http://rushthecourt.net/2009/11/20/checking-in-on-the-summit-league-7/ http://rushthecourt.net/2009/11/20/checking-in-on-the-summit-league-7/#respond Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:26:30 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=13015

Top storylines.

Preseason favorite Oakland is having to get better the hard way, losing to Eastern Michigan by four and Wisconsin by 16 to start the season 0-2. Its not getting any easier, as Michigan State and Kansas await the Golden Grizzlies. I don’t think Oakland fans should worry too much, ranked 20th on the College Insider mid-major poll, they are still clearly the strongest team in the conference. Oral Roberts’ [...]]]>

It’s time for the seventh installment of our RTC 2009-10 Impact Players series, the group of very cold, very northern states that we’re calling the Upper Midwest.   Each week we’ll pick a geographic area of the country and break down the five players who we feel will have the most impact on their teams (and by the transitive property, college basketball) this season.  Our criteria is once again subjective – there are so [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2009/10/21/rtc-2009-10-impact-players-upper-midwest-region/feed/ 2 Summit League Wrapup & Tourney Preview http://rushthecourt.net/2009/03/07/summit-league-wrapup-tourney-preview/ http://rushthecourt.net/2009/03/07/summit-league-wrapup-tourney-preview/#respond Sat, 07 Mar 2009 10:12:48 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=5934

Tourney Preview (Sioux Falls Arena)

Saturday Games:

(1) North Dakota St. vs. (8) Centenary

Centenary was outrebounded in their last meeting with NDSU by 22. Although Redus had a strong game, Adams and Stallings combined for just 16 points. Expect the same defensive play from the bigger, better guards of NDSU.

(2) Oral Roberts vs. (7) South Dakota St.

Home state advantage could make this a much tighter game than it is on paper. Jackrabbit forwards [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2009/03/07/summit-league-wrapup-tourney-preview/feed/ 0
