There is a player on the bench with a walking boot. Might be Volmer.

They mentioned during the telecast that she is hurt but they hope to have her back for the Summit League games.

Kacie Borowicz had her name listed in a graphic at the women’s final four game between Iowa and South Carolina. She was second in the nation with 5 games with at least 25 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists in a game. Iowa’s Caitlin Clark led the nation in that category by a mile.

Chattanooga and Delaware both lost today and are now 7-3. Rhode Island and E. Kentucky both also lost and are now 6-4. Idaho is losing big as I write this and will drop to 6-4. These 5 teams were ranked in the coaches poll above UND.

She got hurt the first game of the year. I believe she is done for the year.

Tyree Ihenacho scores 2 points in 14 minutes of playing time in James Madison’s upset of Virginia.

Zander did a good job taking over as point guard. It is not easy to go from forward to point guard in college. I doubt if she played much point guard at Mandan although I don't know this since I live out of ND. Having Lane back also helps the team on the boards.

Watched the women play Montana State today on Pluto. Our guard play is not very good. Turnovers, missed 3 pointers, and some shaky defense. Our forwards played well: Fleecs and Zander. Juliet Gordon played well. She took the ball to the hole with authority.

I didn't see a Hilary Myers on the roster but did see a Hilary Griffin.

Reinke might be able to play this weekend according to the tv broadcast.

Rod Merriam from Huron was Mr. Basketball in South Dakota in 1980. He played for UND on the 1981-82 team that lost in the national quarter finals to Cal Bakersfield. He was a good shooting guard.

It has been a rough season for the ladies but a real nice win today. They played good defense in the second half limiting their fouls.

After watching Jal in the games he played in November and December, I am surprised by the interest he received by bigger programs than UND. He needs to gain 30 pounds. I like what I saw from Hazekamp. He will hopefully get more playing time with Seales graduating.

Klabo with 7 first half turnovers and 2-8 shooting. We should be posting her up more. Most of the turnovers and missed shots are from 15-20 feet from the basket.

I am tired of seeing Western Illinois driving to the basket and either scoring lay ups or UND fouling. Same thing happened in Grand Forks. I would like us to play at least some zone against them, especially when Leet is in the game.

Jaclyn Jarnot and Julia Fleecs both showed some offensive skills tonite which we desperately need to help Klabo and Morton.

I agree that Hazekamp should get more playing time. Bijiek runs the court well and has long arms but is ineffective in a half court game. He would be good on a team that presses 40 minutes a game but not many teams do that. We probably should have used him the last couple minutes in a full court press. He played only 2 minutes today so the coaches are realizing he isn't ready for this level of competition. He needs to gain 30-40 pounds.

Idaho played a decent zone which limited the shots by Avants and Seales. We didn't shoot the 3 or free throws very well. The middle of the zone was open at times but we would turn it over with the pass instead of taking the shot. Idaho had a bunch of layups in the second half as our defense went south. We need a bunch of our players to hit the weights. Walter looks the same as his freshmen year.

USD gets outscored 12-0 to end the game and lose to Baylor 63-57. We aren't the only team blowing late leads.

Out rebounded 38-26 and hit only 11-18 free throws. We wasted a 13-28 3 point shooting nite.

We had 21 turnovers and 18 field goals. I found it interesting that Klabo mentioned the team needs to practice harder. That is on the coaches.

I like what I gave seen from Hazekamp. He didn't shoot well last game but I really like his rebounding ability. He crashes the boards well for a 6-6 player. He had a high average of rebounds his senior season in Iowa.

We wasted a good shooting day from Klabo and Morton.

That was a pretty bad ending. A bunch of turnovers and fouls the last 5 minutes.

Stony Brook(7-4), Elon(6-4), Towson(7-4), and Delaware(7-4) all lost today and now have 4 losses.
