FightingSiouxHawks

Good to see a change of pace! We can’t guard other teams man to man all the time. We have a few players who can’t play man Def.

6 straight possessions with points for DU! How does Grant keep getting time on the floor?

There isn’t one player from the portal who could make an immediate impact transferring to UND, it doesn’t matter who is coaching the team. There is zero NLI money available to entice anyone to UND. I do think they have some nice freshmen who look the part and have a decent skill set, but it will take another year before we see their growth and maturity make positive consistent play. They have shown flashes but they are inexperienced and tend to make mistakes on both ends at the wrong time trying to do more.

Second group played 5min in 2nd half and went 1-8 with their positions. Entire games changed and had to play from behind the rest of the way.

Thought Stevens does all the substitution, when did they change that?

Who does the substitution for us??

This will be an extremely tough matchup for the hawks. NDSU has really cut down the min of their subs since the start of conference play. With the youth of the hawks look for the physicality and length of the Bison vs the second group coming off the bench for ND to be the deciding factor. Hope we have a few new wrinkles or change of pace. Hard to go toe to toe every game with this youth and same concepts hoping for a different outcome.

looks like a long year ahead, not much improvement!

I believe you are correct! Jones was Basktball opps guy who did zero recruiting and no HC experience. Unsure how he was even in the mix for the job here at UND?

If you looking at the best candidate for the job that has had Head Coaching success! Coach Randall Herbst was the Head Coach for two years at Mary University. (maybe the toughest job in the league) In 14 seasons, U of Mary has only had 3 winning seasons. 2 by Coach Herbst before he was hired away by summit league rival UNO In just his second year, U of Mary went 23-6, 2nd in the NSC, and received the only NCAA postseason bid in school history! BTW went 2-0 vs Sather and 3-0 vs Walthall In 4 seasons at UWGB as Associate Head Coach, GB gone to the NCAA tournament for the fist time in 20 yrs and finished 2nd in the CIT.

Anyone know if all any of these guys coached against each other? All of them have been head coaches in the Northern Sun League. Sather Herbst Walthall Side Note: Thorson coached at a private high school in Minneapolis, DeLaSalle. The program won its 24th state title this season. It was a winner before him and will be after. No Minn players on Colorado state roster, isn’t that why you hire a HS coach from Minn?

Randall Herbst Former assistant at UND for Rich Glass, recruited Jeremy Beasley among others! Recruiting coordinator at UNO during their transition, built the program to a summit league contender, knows the summit league & Midwest recruiting. Recruited Minn Mr basketball JT Gibson to UNO over UND among others in the summit league. Bleeds Green!

Been a Sioux supporter for years and recently turned onto the chat room for Sioux sports! Attended games of all sports, but loved the days when the Old Hyslop Sports Center was packed watching Jerome Beasley tearing it up! Have heard the rumors for the past week about Coach Jones, if the rumors are true, he lead UND through the transition. Whether you cheer for him or not, we all wish him the best of luck.
