Colorado is 8-5 coming into this game and until losing to Tri-Cities last week was on a good roll. They've clinched a playoff spot and were on target for the #2 seed in the intense conference, but are now in serious danger of losing that and going on the road in the playoffs.
Sioux Falls is 12-0 coming into this game and going for another perfect undefeated season (they have two in their history already).
The headline of this game is former Billings star player Chris Dixon versus for Billings Head Coach Heron O'Neal. O'Neal also renews his rivalry with Coach Riggs, who he got the better of at the end of his time in Billings.
Can Colorado overcome the odds and beat the Storm in their house? Or will the Storm make good use of the former Billings' players they grabbed up and hand the former Billings coach a loss?

I think this has potential wither be a really good close game or it could also get out of hand. I think that depends more on SF than it does Colorado. If SF shows up to play then I dont think this is even a game. Some interesting storylines going into it none the less. I think SF will win by probably around 2-3 scores.

So does the league impose any kind of penalty following a player being ejected from the game? OL Smith got tossed about mid-4th, not sure why other than 2 personal fouls. Seems like the guy lining up opposite was getting in his head. Thier D line was whining about everything. On a side note, after every TD Dixon scored he would flip the ball in O'Neal's direction, Oneal took notice and was trying to stare Dixon down every time he did it.

Yeah, I got the feeling last year from many comments Dixon made throughout the year that him and O'Neal didn't exactly part on the best of terms when they left Billings, so him rubbing it in his face is not surprising.

Up to the league, if they feel his fouls were excessive.

Riggs did mention on the post game interview that because he got ejected he wont be able to play against Omaha.

Thats a shame. Wonder if that came from the league or was team imposed. Granted he should have kept his cool but it seemed like the Colorado D was doing a little more pushing and shoving after the play then usual, not make excuses but to make excuses
