Biggest surprises so far have got to be Northern Colorado, Northern Arizona, Montana, and North Dakota .
Northern Colorado, I did not see that coming. They are playing the best of anyone right now. They have feasted on a lot of patsies on their home floor in the preseason.
all but one of their wins has been at home. The big turnaround for them has been on the defensive side of the ball. It remains to be seen if they can take that on the road and get some results. If they can, they may be hosting in March.
Northern Arizona, what an improvement in just one year. They already have a road win at Montana and seem to be playing with a little confidence. Most of us had them picked near the bottom of the BSC. Now it looks like they may be a top 4.
Montana, has lost at home for the first time in centuries. Everyone had them in the top 3 and contending for another championship. The way things look now, fat chance of that. With one of the three best players in the league, they still don't have what it takes to host in March. They may even struggle to make the play offs.
North Dakota, WOW. Some had them picked to win the BSC. Almost everyone had them in the top 3. They have lost one on their home floor and nearly lost to the worst team in the league on their home floor. With one of the best players in the league, they will struggle to make the play offs. UND and UM are proving that it take a lot more than one premier player to get the job done.
Everyone else in the league has performed about like expected. The next two weeks should clear things up a bit more.
