Lets try and get passed this and get a win in Bozeman before we take on Reno, hopefully the neutral court won't be much of an advantage for the big dogs in UM and WSU.

I don't believe the team has ever won in Bozeman either.

Not going to win any games when your two best players shoot 3-20 and have 10 turnovers combined and your two sharpshooters go 2-7 on 3 pointers. Hopefully it was just an off night for Q and there isn't something else wrong, this team goes as he goes.

Ugly game, turn the page and on to Bozeman. UND still can get the 4 seed if they win and ISU loses in Idaho.

I'm not a Jones supporter and disagree on a lot of what he does but when your studs go out and throw up bricks all night long and only one player performs out of 8-9 guys you can't put much blame on the coach.  Between Hooker, Crandell, Seales, McDermitt did they even shoot 20% and how many turnovers did Crandell have?  It was an ugly game performed by all the players except one.  They have been playing great basketball as of late and hopefully their memories of last night are gone and ready for     tomorrow.  Bad games are going to happen and more so on the road. Not sure what needs to happen except to win tomorrow to get a top 4 seed as I'm sure besides the win other things need to happen.

Ok I get it know... They are "just off"... but why does that happen every big road game? The players looked like they didn't want to be there last night( except for avants)

Guess we need to ask the players why they can't shoot on the road against the top teams.  Maybe its boredom sitting around in a motel room all day with basically nothing to do.  Who knows..............

There is a recurring pattern with this program with regard to playing road games against good teams. And the only common denominator is the guy in charge of the program. And no, it isn't the team captain either.

Average to above average teams struggle on the road against good teams? Who would have thought?! That's not a recurring theme with UND, that's a recurring theme in all sports.

All kidding aside, not a good performance last night regardless of who gets the blame. The best game plan in the world doesn't matter when the teams can't hit the side of a barn.. Montana was smarting from Weber handling them last weekend and came out a lot better than UND. Not sure why, UND had been playing very well as of late. Hoping the can bounce back Saturday, get the 4 seed and go from there.

But there are teams close to home, that go on the road against ranked teams and knock them off, while we struggle...again it starts at the top. Jones has 18 road wins since joining the big Sky. The most wins in any season since 2008 has been 6.  4-8, 3-9, 4-11, 2-14, 6-11, 4-11, 4-12, 4-8 (so far)  for a total of 31-84 on the road in DI. 31 wins in almost 8 full years in DI on the road. That is bad!!
