@ Bradley Braves

Bradley is 1-7 on the season.  They are one of the weakest programs treading water in the best Mid-Major Conference in the country.  There is absolutely no reason whatsoever that North Dakota shouldn't come out and give them a VERY competetive game on Saturday.  This should be a very winnable game for North Dakota's flagship university.................

Bradley may be 1-7 but they have played a lot of tough teams. They have played Arizona, Virginia, Seton Hall, and Ole Miss. Their win was against Ball State who is 6-2 on the year. This is going to be a very tough game especially on the road where Jones has an extremely poor record.

Doesn't matter.  UND is the oldest and largest University in our state.  It sports the largest athletic department budget in our state.  We should be able to put up a fight amongst the worst that the Missouri Valley has to offer.  The best that the MVC has to offer already blew us out of our own building.  I certainly don't expect this team to do the same.......

They should put up a fight, and hopefully we can take a game from them. Last time these two teams played was a 78-69 Bradley win on November 19, 2011.

If bradley can pay their coach 600k a year , there is no reason why the flagship UND  program cannot pay their coach close to 1 million a year vs the current payout of 100k

Bradley is 1-7.  If you average out how many points they've lost by it comes out to about an average of 16 points.  
Bradley's blowout losses: Arizona (6-1, loss to Providence),                        90-60
                                        Virginia (6-1, loss to George Washington..ouch), 87-52
                                        Delaware (4-2, losses to Iona/Temple),                70-47
Bradley barely lost to Towson (5-3, losses to La Salle/OK State/Ole Miss), 62-60

So, overall, you'd think UND has a chance to come out playing hard, and competitive basketball. I hope the F'Hawks can get a road win, but it would be our luck to lose to the 1-7 team.

Oh yea and they have a hostile and abusive nickname.

Actually they don't. They use Braves as we all do in the National Anthem, as a general term, not as an Indian type braves. They were on the NCAA's watch list, and as of 2005 haven't used any NA imagery associated with the name.

600k a year coach at home vs 100k year coach ....Jones will need a miracle to win this game.. anybody knows you get what you pay for...Jones has Never lost a game to a lower paid D1 coach

if we would increase Jones' pay to 600K for the rest of the year would he suddenly become a better coach?

But he has lost to lower paid DII and NAIA coaches.

And in most cases, anybody knows you get paid what you are worth.
