UNDhoops

no way we beat montana. i'd be surprised if we beat MSU

i would. he needs to cool it with the turnovers but other than that he's a pretty good player

i am probably the biggest ku basketball fan on the planet. i know what happened.

will there be a difference in 10 years

nah it happens a lot in basketball. devonte graham went from a 2 star to a top 30 guy when he committed to kansas (technically it was before but everyone knew he was committing)

after the top 100 these kids are mostly the same, and i'm not going to put any stock in rankings of kids when the recruiting services watch the non elite guys like twice per year.

we will have to agree to disagree on not getting weber or montana talent. maybe not year in and year out like they do, but often enough to where they should be competing every year.

i dont know if praise is the right word, and agree it isn't consistent, but they've only finished lower than 5th in the league once and are usually even better than that (though like i said the great west stats should be taken with a grain of salt)

that would be such a bad hire for the gophers, which means i wouldn't count it out

this has to be Jones's last year. He gets talent to grand forks and they usually defend well enough but they shouldn't have 10 minute stretches every game where they couldn't score at a UND hockey party with jon toews's dick

i dont think schmaltz had anything to gain by coming back another year. playing in the AHL is fine for a kid his age who has already mastered college hockey

don't apologize. who cares. i am hoping tomek sticks around after this year. he looked pretty good last night.

The big sky is the 27th ranked conference at KenPom. It was 26th last year. As I looked at it yesterday (shameless plug alert), UND is the best team in the league but not by any significant margin. The problem with the league is it looks like it's going to be tough to avoid a play in game unless there are a lot of upsets in conference tournaments (long way to go before that obviously)

i can never figure out if these are sarcasm or not

UND is a slight favorite in KenPom (52 percent). I wouldn't be shocked if they lost but would be disappointed.

the numbers don't agree with you at all on that though.

their defense has been fine for the most part. 3rd in the big sky last year, 9th in 2015 (which was the year he should have gotten fired to be honest), 5th in 2014, 3rd in 2013. They were also 2nd in the great west their last two years there but i don't really think great west stats are worth the paper they are printed on

We should totally get rid of Jones but i don't think some lack of development or discipline thing is the reason. he develops guys fine for the most part, he just sucks at coaching offense.

we all know iowa would never employ such unsavory characters http://deadspin.com/iowas-adam-woodbury-cant-stop-poking-people-in-the-eye-1684549848

I would say it's more likely NDSU was looking ahead to friday than anything.

i dont think we are going to medal but i will reserve comment until we see if USA hockey makes the same mistakes with their roster picks they have been making lately

UC Davis sucks so i dont think that will change my opinion of NDSU. Looks like UND is currently 67 percent to win at KenPom which seems about right. The two teams are pretty equal I think.

alleging some kind of conspiracy is insane. college basketball refs just suck at their job.

i think he will end up being good. i'd prefer everyone at this level redshirt but he looks like he will be a more well rounded player than adam. probably not as good of a shooter.

probably a good plan. i didn't have a problem with them playing Shanks behind him and making him shoot over the top.
