Reaching The Summit: College Basketball Podcast

Sam Goaley, Tim Hill and Jacob Von Bergen join Todd for a right before the quarterfinals tournament preview. Sorry for the first minute, first time doing a live preview

The guys start off the podcast talking their league award picks, including player of the year, 1st and 2nd team, all defense, and all newcomer.

The second half is breaking down and predicting each match up and crowning our league champion.

Supersized edition for a super time of year.

The top 3 teams in the league face off in the final week and the guys are here to talk about it. Who comes out on top North Dakota, North Dakota State or South Dakota State.

How does the rest of the league shake out and for old times sake an NIL transfer portal rant. One week to go. Take a listen and buckle in for the action.

Greg and Todd go through each Summit League Team and discuss what it will take for them to make a run through the tournament. They also answer an interesting question about whether the number 1 seed (if UST were eligible to make the NCAA tournament) is really an advantage in this tournament format.

We got the chance to sit down with the nation's leading scorer, Denver guard Tommy Bruner. We talk the incredible battle with South Dakota guard Kaleb Stewart, Bruner's journey to Denver and Bruner's non-profit.

We also take a trip around this week's Summit League action.

The guys talk about all the Summit League action this week and try to sort out where it puts each team. In reality most of it is almost impossible to predict, so really it's just time to enjoy the ride.

The guys talk about South Dakota State alone on top, North Dakota's resurgence, Omaha getting swept at home, Oral Roberts surprisingly alone at the bottom of the league, North Dakota State trying to turn things around, and much more.

Omaha and Denver were predicted towards or at the bottom of the Summit League this season and look nothing like those teams. A big reason for this is Summit League Player of the Year candidates Tommy Bruner for Denver and Frankie Fidler for Omaha. The guys talk about this, St. Thomas is at the top of the standings. The struggles defensively for North Dakota State and much more.

Are there two teams rising to the top? Just how special is the season Tommy Bruner is having? What is going on with a couple of teams on long-losing streaks? Does an Oak Hills curse exist? Is Zack responsible for Omaha's collapse against Idaho State? These are just a few of the questions answered on today's podcast. Also, talk about the Big Sky/Summit League Challenge which the guys think was a big success.

St. Thomas clamps down on Summit League opponents, South Dakota State impresses and the rest of the league tells us most of the season is going to be chaos. The guys talk about all of it this week.
