SD UND

I believe that to be true, yes.

Will be interested to see what takes place in the 2 weeks following the end of UND's season. Players that are for sure gone: Mitchell Sueker Caleb Nero And I believe Nicholson is no longer in school Players that could come back and use covid year: Brady Danielson- 1 year left Matt Norman- 1 year left T- 1 year left Treysen-SO BJ- SO Elijah- SO Ajahni-SO Mathews- JR Trent- SR Reid- JR Incoming guys: Doppler Erikson Bothun-PWO I believe everyone here would like BJ to stay and any sane person could see that he is at the right level... but the people that have these kids' ear away from the program are not sane... I would be shocked if BJ goes to Minnesota.. while his ppg average is impressive for a freshman.. his percentages are not. And he doesn't have the body for the Big 10. Plus they are going to need impact guys that are ready to go right now. Could a valley school try to scoop him up? Probably... Does he even want to leave?? who knows!!? Matt and T are interesting because normally JUCO sophomores have 2 years and they are out but the covid years throw a new wrinkle into that... Brady could be done or he could play another year... with everything going on with his dad, who knows what he decides to do. Do reid and jahni want to stay and be 9-10 on the roster?? Could they go D2 and play?? I can see 2-3 guys leaving because that is pretty normal attrition that happens to every team... regardless of who that is.. UND probably needs to get JUCO or 4 year transfers to fill that void. I believe they still have 1 open scholly anyways so it will be interesting to see what they do with that.. I assume it's a 4/5 with some athleticism but who knows. Long post, but I'm bored at work.. not sure if any of it makes sense

If BJ is playing the 3 then you can't have a big bruiser 4 man that can't shoot. BJ needs space.. the more people on the floor that can shoot around him makes a big big difference... that's why he will probably play more 4 than 3 going forward.. even though position numbers anymore are obsolete other than maybe the 1 and the 5. 2,3,4 are pretty interchangeable.

Think some people forget about all the little big things he brings to the floor…has done that since he stepped on campus

Really happy for Brady. He is going through a lot off the floor with his father’s situation. great kid and a great family. He deserves every good thing that happens to him

Good win. On to the next weekend.

This game appears to be super hard for the players on both sides to figure out the refs

Yes, if both stick around and only focus on shooting catch and shoot 3’s all off-season would greatly help this squad.

Also odd behavior that, specifically you two, can go at everyone on the topic of the head coach, but when a little !@#$ gets thrown your way you can’t handle it. Odd behavior.

You are 100% correct. Thank you for helping me realize this. sweet dreams punkin

Next time please do, thanks.

And there it is

I appreciate you sticking up for your bud… buddy

i can’t wait for the ultra defensive sarcastic reply you’re going to get

Would’ve been interesting to see what OT would’ve looked like as UND had all the momentum… if this team can string together any sort of defensive stops, they have a chance to be super dangerous with their ability to shoot. Good fight back, can’t get down 20 on the road vs #1 team in the league. Showing signs of growth… hopefully they still have some juice and purpose on Saturday… that’s a BIG one if they can get it.

Did it have anything to do with the weather? i can’t believe that they wouldn’t let a team fly down to Tulsa… there had to be a reason other than cost

Oh no... @Nodak78 got bud and buddy'd in the same sentence.. Hoops and Good won't be satisfied until UND loses out and gets a new coach. No win will be good enough.. every loss will be heavily scrutinized. Rinse, repeat.

But, but, but.... it's the Head Coach's fault

Aanen's choice to leave UND... noone 'got rid' of him. Glad he has figured it out and has found success.

USD built a huge arena that probably can hold 5K... they get nowhere close to anything like that... even NDSU has a bigger arena and most nights it's not close to full... I like that the Betty is "Smaller" and more intimate... I think that is an advantage... As good as SDSU has been the last decade... their crowds haven't been anywhere close to what people would think... With all these games being streamed and on the internet.. i would argue that smaller arenas are better right now.

Capacity is not the issue in the Betty. I honestly think the Betty is just fine as far as game facilities for the Summit League... could there be some improvements? Sure. UND has shown they will do some improvements... (film room, plans for practice facility) The locker rooms could use some updating but it's not like they are just absolute trash.. they are nice, just small. If they closed an end and bowled it off it would be pretty sweet... not sure if that is ever the plan though.

I believe he was Coach Sather's first offer when he got the UND job.. and he was the first to offer him any sort of scholarship when coach was at Northern.

Best bet is guys from MN, IA, Dakotas, WI... There will be guys from those areas in the portal this offseason, and if there is a connection, I'd bet they will be in contact to see what the situation is.

Yeah, Coach Sather is definitely in the same situation.....

While everyone wants to get a P5 transfer to UND, here is the reality for MOST transfers: 1. They want to get back closer to home- this is the location aspect that UND1983 was referring to 2. They have a close relationship with program, or players within program- i.e. Marlon Stewart, was high school teammates with Cortez Seales who was already at UND. 3. NIL- UND does not have a competitive NIL package. The biggest reality is, no matter who the head coach is at the end of the year... UND is not a desirable school for P5 transfers that CAN make an impact because of their current standing in college hoops. So, the better use of their resources is to try and get some of these JUCO guys and try to strike gold to be able to get to a point where they can get access to some P5 transfers. You have to walk before you run.
