It's almost comical when a men's schedule is finalized. 3 days later, their playing games. I joke, tongue in cheek, as I've been told by a number of people in and around the program over the past several years just how challenging scheduling non-conference games has been, since making the move to D1. I unfortunately think that this scheduling and getting a schedule out to the fans in an early fashion, will always be a significant obstacle.

Here's a great article about Loyola's scheduling issues. https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/loyola-chicagos-non-con-schedule-is-lacking-because-other-coaches-were-wrongly-afraid-to-schedule-the-ramblers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great story of the scheduling challenges of a school not in a Power 5. A person can probably multiply those struggles in the case of North Dakota. Maybe not in the fact that we make anyone nervous...not this year anyway (maybe a couple of years ago that was the case) But definitely in other factors. When I asked an assistant several years ago about the budget paying to bring in a team he smiled and said "what budget?" (humor but a lot of truth in that statement). I don't envy our staff when trying to line games up. That really has to be a very unnecessary headache each an every year the staff, although it appears their not alone in their struggles in trying to try to put something/anything together year to year. At least Loyola has some budget to try buy a game, I'm fairly certain that's a luxury UND doesn't have. There's always hope. Maybe someday.

I'm not sure the team even made the final decision. The staff needed to know what was going on so they could put together the best roster they could. Holding a scholarship for someone who has already told you (and very publicly, everyone else) that they were done at UND and on to bigger and better things isn't how you do that or help locker room chemistry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold a grudge? Yah, that's one way to put it. Another way would be that they were happy he left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be like going back to a girl who dumped you for someone else, then when she gets dumped, all of a sudden you are back in the picture. No thanks!

SIOUXFAN97 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 i thought that geno needed to finish his und schooling by the end of summer to be eligible at gonzaga...now they are saying he can finish one more semester at und then transfer over...if this true he would be eligible the first game after his last class in november or december?

Siouxphan27 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 So....not willing to commit himself to the team and get his classwork done, miss the first 16 non conference games, show up, and become eligible just in time for the conference season. Sounds like a great recipe to never see the floor. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
