Cratter Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I don't know how the refs saw enough evidence to overturn the last possession. #triedtogiveUNDthegame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND1983 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Apathy has officially set in. Game thread was dead until second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMSioux Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Not sure if that is an accurate measure. I watched the game on Internet never gave a thought about posting. Once again this game was lost at the free throw line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a little surprised Ralston never figured that out while we waited forever for the officials. If only McDermott would've head faked that guy he would've had a wide open attempt as time expired. But I suppose he felt the pressure of time running out; I have no idea why they were taking their sweet time to run the play when down by three. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMSioux Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 You seem disappointed? This year rebounding is looking good, offense has good ball movement and lots of slashing to the basket. However we continue to lose or make games too close due to poor free throw shooting. I blame the coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame the coaching. I was, I bet the over Decent win. Loved the balanced scoring (4 players in double figures) and Drick is impressing me more and more. Play like that and they can start piling up the wins. Weber up next, I'd like to see UND take them down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not sold on Jones but there is some talent here. The issue is, we are going to have 3-5 games where we will probably get blown out or just not be in the game due to the nature of travel in this conference and the remaining conference games will all come down to 3-4 possessions which places a premium on decision making and coaching down the stretch of games. Can't afford another loss at home and if we can find 3 or 4 road wins we will be in the mix. Bernstine and Seales are coming along and Geno and Q are going to be a hand full for anyone. Shanks has some potential in the next couple years but really needs to live in the weight room this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to get him on a meat and potatoes diet with a side of pasta and more meat for dessert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks has pretty good footwork but he is a bit of a black hole once he gets the ball......but I don't put that all on him. Our perimeter guys tend to stay in the same spot when the balls goes into him like they know it's not coming back. They need to move so that when their defender turns his head or hedges towards helping out down low that they have to find our guy again. i.e, if you made the entry from the wing, slide to the corner or if it is a high entry both our wings should slide over a spot.

I love his passion and energy. I will take a 7ft center (sophomore) that plays hard, and usually smart, like him everyday of the week. The footwork is there for the most part. Would like to see him get even closer to the basket when they are working inside/out with him. Really, his being a black hole is on the Coach though. He should be told, once he sees a second guy coming, to kick it out. There is usually a guard up high that he could push the ball back to and re-establish. I know Jones wants to run plays thru him, which is fine, but he isn't big/strong enough to finish thru most double teams yet. It would be nice to see him finish with more dunks or stronger lay-ups too. Again, he is a sophomore, and as others have pointed out, he needs to eat a ton and get in the weight room. Hopefully he keeps progressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the range to stretch out the defense as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
