They will beat south Dakota and ndsu at home. End up in the top 4. Sdsu is just to good and will walk away with the league again .

Maybe everyone else knows this but I searched Sathers salary. He gets $180K a year ? And that's around the middle/top of the summit. That seems like a good salary for competing for last place.

So we will continue to blame the portal, the players, the budget, living in grand forks all as reasons why we can't ever win. When only one person is in charge of not losing players to the portal, making players better, finding ways to win games with your coaching ability and selling kids on coming to a high end school with a brand new campus. Gotcha . I guess we need to go back to D2 or love being in last place every year .

The previous coach was bought out of the final year of his contract. He didn't exactly leave a full cupboard on his way out.
Sather took that team to the finals the next year . What have we done since then with his players? We went from bad to worse in opinion. Can we get a up and coming coach for once?

Have you asked players that left why they left
not arguing, just my opinion that apparently you can’t handle
you will see hockey will have problems too as warm weather metro areas continue to build nice facilities
play basketball or hockey in Arizona or Grand Forks, what would you do ?
Again our players are not choosing Arizona or Grand Forks. We are competing with Brookings SD, Vermillion SD, Mcomb IL, All three of those schools have better teams then us. Well I guess everyone has a better team then us. I havent heard of any summit league teams in Arizona.

More basketball money would help a lot
if you can coach you can coach - no matter the division
Generally, Grand Forks isn’t a very attractive place to play as compared to other places
Transfer portal has changed college sports - not sure if we have adapted
Hockey is king at UND
we shouldn’t have to “rebuild “ every year
Tough to know how long it takes for a coach to prove themselves but …
Again. More basketball money makes UND more attractive - don’t know where it come from though
You feel that Vermillion SD and Brookings SD is easier to recruit to? That's were our top 3 teams are in the summit. I hate the excuse Grand Forks isnt the place to recruit to. We have a great University and a much larger city then Brookings or Vermillion. We have had other successful teams in the past at UND why now is it so hard to recruit to? We won the Big Sky a few years ago and went to the big dance. Was it hard to recruit those players? At some point we need stop blaming everything but the true reason why we are where we are at. The coach and the AD for hiring him.

Coach Sather has been a player on a National Championship runner up team, a coach of a National Championship runner up team... does he know what it takes to win?
Maybe at the D2 level obviously not at the division 1 level

Yet other schools, who are currently better than UND, saw enough in them to want them? So either they were talented before they got here (meaning they are recruiting talented players) or they were coached up pretty significantly in their short time here.
Ihenacho heard from James Madison, Ball State, Florida International, Colgate, St John’s, Montana, Pacific, Drake, UNI, SIU, UNLV & Western Michigan. Probably safe to say he wasn't offered a spot at all of them, but there was at least some interest.
No clue who else Bruns heard from because USD was in his ear so early that his mind was made up before anyone knew he might leave.
And yet as a Junior he is playing less minutes and scoring less then he did as a true freshman at UND? Sounds more like he was with a bad team at UND that played him a ton of minutes. Now playing for a good team and not having the same stats as a junior.

Danielson is a 8-10 minute a game guy. Nothing more. That is no personal knock on him. It is just a fact that he is a D2 level guy.
And no one is worried about anybody leaving but 3 guys. Omot, Brooks, and Eaglestaff. Those are the only 3 guys that anybody is worried about keeping. If any of the other guys want to go find a new home, then be our guest! I'm sure there will be some D2's that will take them.
Totally agee. The only three that I would hate to lose are those three and I would add Trent. I really like his game despite him not being able to shoot the outside shot. I would actually miss Danielson's hustle, but he is a very good D2 player. But sometimes he is the heart and soul of our team and we need that.

According to instagram, there is another recruit for 2023. @kenzel on Instagram. Looks like we will have a full roster next year.
She is a libero/defensive specialist from Colorado
On here twitter account she has a picture of herself as a child with a Sioux cheerleader outfit. Does she have ties to North Dakota? Looks like another good get for the volleyball team. Cant wait to see where Coach Tupac can take this team !

To be fair, Sims transferred to NKU first, then went to a D2.
He and Ihenacho never should have left.
But never played much at NKU and then went to D2... where he probably deserves to play. This is just stating Sather recruits D2 players. yes both players should have stayed at UND where we have a coach that likes D2 players.
-
I wouldnt mind Boschee. He is local and has Kansas connections. He is young and could probably relate more with the players. Unless a more experienced coach applies, I say give him a shot. This is all for nothing if Chaves goes and extends Sather at the end of the year.

He started one of their last games
I think he started a game or two when they had a starter hurt. He hasnt had the best year. He had way more opportunity here to play and be good . That being said its because we are a worse team.

Let’s put bruns on the bench where he belongs this week
be interested in starting lineup and who finally steps up and wants to be a starter
Bruns doesnt even start for South Dakota. He is their sixth man. I hope some posters are made too!

What are people’s thoughts on Steven Aldridge? From watching him interact with players before the game and during the game it seems like they really respect him and will listen to him. He was listed 11th on an ESPN “40 under 40” list of top coaches under 40. Young guy and seems like he really knows basketball.
My opinion would stay away from anyone on this staff. Let's get someone fresh. New start for the program. He could remain on as a assistant coach especially if he has a good relationship with our star players

We are making a 3 win team look like a team full of All Stars
They have only won 1 division 1 game !!! Fire Sather immediately! Danielson running the point tonight. All new line up . Trent doesn't play until 7 minutes to go in first half. If we don't Fire Sather we lose our few stars we have next year

Eaglestaff needs to be playing mistakes and all. He is a freshman and I can live with his mistakes. We need to development him as he is part of the future. Not to mention he is a scorer and we lack that from Trent, Brooks, Brady and Mathews. We cant have that many guys that dont look to score and expect to win. Suecker and Nero should not be getting the minutes they are.

I watched most of the game. Portland did not play well at all. Looked like they were overlooking NDSU after what they did to UND. They didnt shoot anything close to what they did against UND. I didnt see that NDSU played any kind of spectacular defense. Portland just looked off and not like the same team I watched play against UND.

From What I have seen of our "4 star" recruits so far has not been impressive. In fact I wonder if they actually were 4 star recruits because if they are considered 4 stars I would hate to see the 2 stars. Hurst is a very talented offensive player but complete liability on the defensive end. Mostly looks uninterested in playing defense and fouls way to much because she cant move with her player. When she is out there on offense looks like she is a one person show and in my opinion is taking away from KB because she doesnt look to pass at all.
-
Did she get hurt ? They cut away and looked like she walked off . 29 to 12 free throws and way to many turn overs. Girls have some work to do
-
Now the refs want to give und some fouls. Where was that all game ? Looks like trying to even it out
-
Daniger is a stud. Love her hustle. How she goes in a gets rebounds and her 3 point shot. She needs to be out there alot

Definitely a little home court reffing going on. Now 23 to 8 free throw advantage. As much as we drive into the lane we should be at the line more

That's exactly what a good coach does. Calls a timeout when another team is on a run. The fact that you called them a magical timeout just takes credibility away from you. But I have seen Coach Sather do this many times in the past two years. We blow large leads and just throw our hands up in the air. Also the hockey line up changes needs to go! Stick with 7 or 8 and our starters need to play mass minutes. We should always have 3 or 4 starters on the court at all times.
