Let some of the freshman play. Mara has no defense and looks lost out there. Id like to see What Botham has.

Awesome crowd at the Betty last night for the first game of the year! I hope the enthusiasm for the team continues and grows! Since I have lived here I have not seen that many people for a exhibition game before. Maybe because the game was not televised?

I agree with you about possibly playing for a lame bowl game at the end of the year is not as exciting as the playoffs in FCS. The only problem is during the rest of the year. The FCS already feels watered down and when fans get bored with the FCS schools we are playing year after year and stop coming to games is where you will have a problem. Look at attendance at NDSU games. Beating teams by large margins also gets boring. If the other powerhouse FCS teams wouldnt have moved up it would make FCS alot more exciting. Now I feel like the Dakotas and Montanas are just left on the sidelines.

The Dakota's, Montana's and Idaho's need to make their own FBS league.

Is the 2024 - 2025 schedule set? Seems like there should be more preseason games. Only 2 pre season games at the Betty? Getting excited for the new season!

Nice. Wish CBSSN was broadcasting our games.

She also won only 2 games as interim coach and got the head coaching job. Hasnt really done much in the mean time.

Back to players. Watched the high lights of this kid. 100% improvement over TT in my opinion. Plays inside and out. Nice looking 3 point shot. What are our chances? Has he been here to visit ?

What happened? Or was he not the one?

It says they plan to announce within the year what they are doing with land. That was 2 years ago. Did they ever announce anything? The new fargo hospital was built along interstate....

So much for wanting to be close to a sick family member

High praise from Thomas “It just came down to who wants me the most and who really is bought into me,” Thomas said Thursday on the Doug & Daddy Show on ESPN Tri-Cities. “The coach I’ve been talking to, he’s been bought into me since day one since I entered the transfer portal. I just love that about him, he’s an amazing guy.”

He does seem to be a players coach. With how this whole portal thing is going that is a plus to be able to recruit and be liked. I look at NDSU and i think Richman is going to have a hard time adjusting to this new way. Look for UND to surpass NDSU in the future. I wouldn't mind if Sather ran a couple plays once in awhile, but I guess if you recruit the right athletes who needs plays!

They call him the Bubba of Bison Basketball.

Eli King came in last year with limited minutes and look how he played at the end of the season. I think kids like Hurlburt that are questionable Power 5 players are going to go to schools like UND prove they can play get some minutes and transfer out.

Like the last two hires....

Great hire ! I have a feeling this wasn't Mals hire. I think she is on a tight lease now and better do the things the university feels is best. I don't see her happy hiring another coach with a more decorated career then hers and just got done beating her team. Now I hope to see a few more girls in portal and start fresh ! This hire could be our future coach ?

When proven wrong just go back to the tired statement about being kicked off because of having a kid.

Well im hoping Sather can keep a few each year and not need 13 each year. Only the best will leave

But that is my point. Let him go to UMary for two years. Pick him up on the last two years. If he doesnt work out it was UMary's problem. There is not need to take risks on projects. Look what Tyree and Bruns did. Took a chance on them and they both bolted. It has to work both ways.

Good Point. Talented like BJ not projects that will take a few years to develop. Let them go to D2 or JUCO prove their worth and transfer out. Hate the way this is going but you either adapt or lose out.

Wont get UND hockey but I use You Tube TV ($72) and T Mobile Wireless ($50). T Mobile internet is super fast getting 300+ download.

I dont see us offering many high schools seniors in the future. What is the point if they are good they leave and if they are not good they take up a scholarship. Look in the portal and build a new team each year! My opinion we wasted our scholarships on the two Bismarck kids. They wont contribute the next two years give it to someone that competes now. I do like Kraft and hope a local kid will stick around and eventually crack the rotation.

Maybe I am being petty here, but I am seeing all these nice good byes from some of the kids entering the portal. Thanking the schools and fans for the their support. UND seems to never get these heartfelt good byes from the players entering the portal. Nothing from BJ or Tyree. If anyone should have one would be Tyree. Both SDSU players sent out really nice thank yous. As a fan it helps knowing that they enjoyed their time here but just moving on to better things. When players like BJ and Tyree say nothing its like they are ungrateful. I remember Paul Bruns never did it either, made me dislike him more. Ok maybe making to much out this. Or maybe its somewhere other then twitter and I am just not seeing it.

Yes I watched every game this year. I saw Eli improve significantly from the first game to the last. He has great vision and play making ability. His defense is top notch and probably one of the best rebounding guards in the summit. If we can't find a top notch pg in the portal we will be just fine with Eli! This basically was his freshman year. Next year we will see a whole other level for him.
