If any one is interested Treson's Bismarck team plays #5 Minot on the psp network. Packed house. On right now
-
I'm really excited to see what he and Bruns can do in the future here. I hope everyone stays. Bring in a true point guard and a big we will contend!

I watched the press conference for Coach Tupac. I am excited to see what he can do, impressed with what he had to say. He also mentioned that in 2018 when he was in Grand Forks coaching with Denver he called his wife and said you would love it here in Grand Forks. He said that North Dakota was a place on his radar to coach at. Seems like he is checking all the boxes, now to translate to the court.

I am questioning how much Sather had in recruiting him. Sounds like he is coming here because his uncle was a star at UND.

UND (3-8) vs North Central (MN) 12/14 7 PM
NewUndFan replied to SWSiouxMN's topic in Men's Basketball
Yes definitely dont apologize! I really appreciate all your updates on the games! You do alot of work. I was just surprised not one person even commented on the 3 point record being broken. I dont care what kind of competition it was that is still a big deal. We have played lower level competition in the past and never broke a record. -
Bemidji State beat Mayville by almost 30. I think UND would be in the middle to lower part of the Northern Sun if we played in that conference.

UND (3-8) vs North Central (MN) 12/14 7 PM
NewUndFan replied to SWSiouxMN's topic in Men's Basketball
I came to check out the forum to see what people were talking about and find that there is no conversation at all on the game last night! I get it wasnt good competition but the team did break the 3 point record for the school last night and it was not even mentioned on here. I have been down about this team as anyone. I was at the game last night and Northland was clearly a much more weak team then UND, but it was encouraging to actually see UND hit some outside shots. I am hoping this game gives some confidence in the players to start knocking down some shots when competition gets tougher. I still dont have alot of hope for this team, but last night was a little more encouraging. -
I think if we beat 10 D1 Teams this year we have to consider that a success ! I dont think we will beat 10 D1 schools this year.
-
What are the chances he stays here all 4 years? Especially if we cant improve this team.
-
Bruns no question
-
What part do you want me to explain to you ? I DONT care if he is in the community BUT I agree a coach SHOULD be involved in the community. But if we had a coach who was a hermit and never came out of their office but won championships. That's what I care about. I don't buy tickets when teams are losing and win 1 game game a year but the coach is out in the community. In the end that means nothing. Winning is all that counts in sports. And fans don't buy tickets to losing teams .

So basically we want a homer coach that loves Grand Forks and goes out in the community and wins one game a year. That should bring alot fans to the games. I agree a coach should be out in the community, love Grand Forks and bleed Green. But if they dont win games none of that matters. To me the most important thing is a good coach and if he or she is a community great. I would take a Pryor that had a fun team to watch and won then someone who loves UND and loses. I am not from here and not a alumni. As a fan I dont care how much I see him around town. I come to games when they win not when they show up to fundraisers. If they lose and are terrible no one has interest. You can argue that all you want but fans dont want to see horrible teams no matter what sport. Also it wasnt Pryor's fault the team went 1-28. It was a unfortunate dismissal of two very good players and hiring a assistant coach that has no business being a head coach.
-
We need a coach who can coach, win and recruit kids. I dont care if they buy into community, if this is a stepping stone for a coach let it be. We need someone to build the program to hand off to another coach that can keep it going. The days of coaches staying here their whole careers is probably gone. Division 1 athletics is different then Division 2.
-
My Point is this A.D just likes to promote the assistant coaches and UND connections. I dont believe this A.D hired the last three coaches? He didnt do a national search for it. Also for the woman's head basketball coach position. We fire the head coach promote the assistant to interim coach. That coach wins ONE game during the year and then we hire her as the new head coach.?? I am saying the current A.D needs to do more then just worry about hockey. UND sports has slowly went down hill since his hire in my opinion.
-
NO more homer hires!! We need to do a nation wide search and get the BEST candidate. UND can not keep hiring people who have tires or assistant coaches of head coaches that are fired. We dont need to hire a former athlete that went here either. Go look for the best coach! Look at what NDSU did with their womens basketball coach hire. He turned that program around in 2 years. We need new blood and ideas for this program.
-
I have no idea why Nero gets so many chances with coach. Someone else should have his minutes
-
Did covid hit the team ? Only 4 on the bench for Weber game
-
Look alot better in the second half. Some of these new players need to play more. The rotation looks alot better in the second half
-
I'm at the game tonight against Crookston. We are down by 3 at half time to a team picked dead last in their division of the northern sun conference. This is going to be a very long year for basketball in grand forks this year.

UND travels to Southern Illinois Oct. 16 2p.m.

Now if we would have just took the FG instead of going for it on 4th !! -
I am going to take some things back I have said about Coach. On paper she looks to have signed some really good recruits. I hope this will translate into wins now. I will be cheering for them all year to succeed.
-
How about UND do a national coaching search instead of always hiring someone with UND ties. Again looking from the outside, but I see this all the time that a UND former student, assistant coach etc is hired over some quality candidates outside of the school. Just like the women's basketball hire. I am going to give her a break because she has done some good recruiting now it just needs to translate to coaching wins. But this volleyball hire looked like a disaster hire from the beginning.
-
I wonder where they will be located? It would be nice to have some restaurants on the south side of town. I have eaten at several Freddy's always good food and different fast food then your typical fast food restaurant.
-
Who or what is Molly Yeh? What kind of food?
-
Is this fact? Or just hoping to get here. I have not heard anything they have coming here yet. I agree chicken is much better then Bdubs food in general is.
