    Possible Changes To NCAA Tourney

    I think that week is also used for travel plans

    Doubtful. B-ball regionals end Mar 31 and Final Four starts April 6. Wouldn't you think basketball teams would need just as much planning time if that we're the case for hockey? I believe the extra week for hockey is to avoid conflict with basketball.

    The other thing I find frustrating is that they say they're sticking with Ponder so he can continue to develop and learn. Well...when your game plan is to turn and hand the ball to AD 30+ times, what exactly is Ponder learning? Basically they're telling him just to be ready to throw a check-down on 3rd and short.

    During yesterday's game, the Vikings got the ball with just under two minutes left in the first half and a couple timeouts. Most teams would love to have that opportunity to put more points on the board. True to form, the Vikes did nothing with it because they don't have a QB capable of moving them down the field. In fact...they gained only about 15 yards and Ponder got picked on a deep ball with :32 left in the half. I guess it was a good as a punt...

    NORTH DAKOTA vs. DENVER - Saturday

    There were just too many times, especially on the PP, where there was a nice 1 2 3 opportunity and it ended up 1....... stretch for the horrible pass 2 and 3 is no longer an option. It's a small thing, but once they get that tiny bit of feel for the passing the offense could do some big things and the defense would be even better as a result of fewer turnovers leading to odd man rushes.

    Agree on the PP stuff.

    That game was really up and down last night. Without taking into account the major the second period was dominant for und. The problem is the passing still isn't crisp and things were very out of sync for much of the first period. With a returning parks and the emerging wrecking crew on the 4th with the addition of senkbeil this team could turn into what we were all hoping they could be going into the season.

    Passing may not have been "crisp" per se, but the level of support around the puck was excellent. If a pass got missed or tipped into an open area more often than not another UND player was there to grab the puck.

    Anyone ever seen the Big Fat guy that sits behind the one goal & gambles with everyone - Money going back & forth constantly - What are they betting on ?

    I don't know these particular guys, but I've seen people play a game where each participant in your group picks a different number from 0-9 and keeps it for the game. Every time the last number on the game clock matches their number they get paid a buck (or whatever) from all the others. Payout is double or more if the stoppage is for a goal.

    2012-2013 Season

    This isn't necessarily just women's hockey related but I did find out this weekend at the womens game something interesting. I am not sure if any of you knew that in the past if a player from UND scored a hat trick in a game you would get 33% off of a hat in the SiouxShop. Apparently the NCAA caught wind of this and put the kabosh on it because it was profiting off of a student athletes success.

    That's actually pretty hilarious. I was at the Saturday UMD game when Monique got the hatty and they said they had ended the promotion...I never asked for an explanation. It's to the point where the NCAA doesn't make me mad anymore, they just make me chuckle.
