SD UND

Are any of those teams considered to be worth a damn in the NSIC??? that’s my point.

So why doesn’t NDSU and SDSU play Northern State? Why doesn’t USD play Augie and Sioux Falls? Why won’t Omaha play Kearney and Wayne????

There are very very few mid to low major D1 programs that could pay to have a schedule filling all of their non league home games with other D1s.

Why doesn’t Duke just schedule non league games with UNC, NC state, and Virginia???

Yes scheduling is super easy.

Found a way to win, good for the good guys. Deng appears to be in the doghouse??

Exhale.

Up 2 2.6 seconds left pacific ball

Got the stop!

Need 1 stop

As bad as they’ve played it’s actually kinda encouraging that they’re even in this game

Ref show

Yup- could be up by more, could be down by a lot more- clean some things up and get outta Stockton with a W

Even now that they’ve gone to more CF coverage their tags are way late turnovers an issue too… need to end the half on a lil run

You tell me

Looks to be more switches now

Lol they’re down 6 with 10 to relax

Not a great stretch by Brady D the last 2-3 poss.

Pacific shoots 27% from 3- 39% from Field- 62% from the line.. Opponents are shooting 26% from 3- 46% from Field have shot 26 more FT's on the year. Pacific getting outrebounded by 9 and TO's are pretty even. Hopefully the boys can put together a good game tonight, very winnable.

Horizon league would be awesome, but there is so many schools within 200-300 mile radius of all those schools that they tend to go south or east to get like opponent games and cut down on travel.

IMO, I think you will see the Summit league do something to get rid of some the Non D1 games.. whether that's doing more conference "clashes" or mandating only 2 non d1 games.. etc.. I think we will see something like that moving forward.

I also stated why they don't schedule teams like that. It is not worth the risk to stumble against someone like Jamestown. So you schedule Northland, win by 100 and move on to the next one.

You are right, it's really easy to schedule D1 Home games because other teams around the country have a strong desire to travel to Grand Forks, ND for a Thursday game in November-December. Noone likes it, it sucks. But it is what it is right now.

If you're going to have to play a Non D1- you want that game to be a guaranteed win- No reason to play good teams at a lower lever because UND assumes all the risk.

I'm not happy with the performance- I'm not going to jump to conclusions on this team 1 game into season. They laid an egg last night, plain and simple.
