OUTLOOK: The Summit League is made up of 10 teams, all of which will compete
for one bid to the NCAA Tournament this season. There will be plenty of
competition at the top of the heap, but we feel confident that Oakland will be
left standing when the dust settles. IUPUI and South Dakota State figure to
push the Golden Grizzlies, as both of those teams welcome back a wealth of
talented performers. Oral Roberts is perhaps the most recognizable team in the
conference from a national perspective, but the Golden Eagles lost many of
their top players from a year ago and may have to deal with being a second
tier team for a season. IPFW is a team on the rise, and with four returning
starters back, there is certainly reason for optimism. Southern Utah and North
Dakota State will be competitive almost every time out, but anything more than
a middle-of-the-pack finish would be surprising. Rounding out the bottom of
the league figures to be Western Illinois, UMKC and Centenary. None of those
three figure to be in contention for their respective division crowns come
February 1st.
