SD UND

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.

I can rationalize with rational people... people like Hoops and GoodGood aren't rational... so there's a wedge there.

You can't rationalize with HoopsFan, Ira....

In my experience.... no.

Also an intelligent response

NewUndFan, HoopsFan03, GoodGood- rinse, repeat

What to do

Correct. I would argue that UND needs to maybe take more 3's on Saturday... as crazy as that sounds.

Not injured. Just out of rotation.

I don’t disagree with either points. Brady makes so many “winning” plays that don’t show up in stat sheet think Elijah will get there, because he is definitely more talented than Brady. hopefully Elijah is going head to head vs Brady every day and will pick up on some things Brady brings. In the long run I would hope Elijah can be a border line all conference player
