Here’s another offensive lull. Guess who’s at PG?? Nero.. I understand their defense is legit but just watch how the offense flows when Trent is in compared to Nero. Nero is not a PG

I think our defense should be alright in this game. Iowa States guard play is good and a large part why they are ranked 23rd now. We have solid guard defenders especially in Trent and Brooks if he is back. The biggest thing for this game will be our offense. Can we score the ball at all against their very physical, harassing defense?? That will be the big challenge!

Sueker is listed as a fifth year so I would assume he is done after this year. Danielson and Nero are both listed as seniors but would still have one year of eligibility left because of the Covid year. I would think/hope both of those two are done after this year.

I would even say at this point that Levias can be/is a better scorer than Sueker. The ability to shoot helps Levias. Definitely not a bad thing for the team that Sueker isn't playing anymore and we get to see Levias more. But man was I dead wrong when I said after the first exhibition that Sueker would be the best player on the team this year. I thought coming off the injury and this being his final year that he would play with some passion/leave it all on the floor type of mentality. He looked good that first half of the first exhibition when he scored 20 or 22, whatever it ended up being. But man did he take a turn for the worse after that. Really hasn't looked similar since then.

Really good weekend for UND basketball! 2 fun games to be at! Nero has played good the last two games in the scoring column. He tends to overdribble and stagnate the offense though. With Trent looking to be more aggressive they need to loosen the leash more and let him play free. The offense flows better when he's the PG. Moves the ball, makes good reads in the pick & roll, plays TOUGH defense. They have a tough decision on what to do when Brooks comes back. The team seems to be rolling and gelling together. I would assume he would come off the bench and take a combination of Norman and Danielson's minutes?? I think we start to see Sueker not play at all. Levias fits the team better and is playing better. Not sure if school is too much/too much stress but he has not looked like himself at all. Overall, the team is playing really well going into two tough road games against Iowa State and Portland!

Trent back in. Good sub

Nero can’t handle this pressure. All he does is overdribble. Need to get Trent back in.

This game is winnable for sure! Need to limit the long offensive lulls that we love to go on!

Brooks is at the game. In street clothes though.

Nice write up! I agree with your score prediction. I think Fullerton will come out pissed off after the loss today and play a solid game against us! Hoping I am completely wrong though!

Will we go hurry up this possession??

2 score game! We’re still in it….

Did we expect anything different than this?

This is sad….

Completely agree with everything said here! Nice writeup! Omot needs to add that short pull-up right before the defense steps in for the charge. He has that in his bag, just needs to see that that is open on the film. Love watching him play and continually stepping up when needed. Looking forward to Sunday as that will be a tough game!

I feel bad for Trent. He can’t play well if he can’t play free. He misses a shot he gets taken out. He turns it over he gets taken out. He gets a passed tipped he gets taken out. No freedom for our starting PG and a captain on the team is just sad.

Absolutely! No extended “lulls” in the second half and we can win this. Would be a very good win!

Levias was huge that half. Turned the whole game around!

Brooks is not dressed or at the game again today

This should be a good game! Utah Tech only lost to Nevada by 13 and Washington by 11. Beat Idaho by 10. I think UND has a chance at winning this game at home though. Hoping for an exciting one!

Yeah it is interesting that they would redshirt him. They must feel like he could play in the years to come.

Where has he been then?

That's true!

Absolutely. Brady is a 10-12 minutes a game guy. Not a 20+ minutes a game guy like Sather is doing. Why is Brady getting more minutes than Treysen off the bench? Only plays 3 less minutes than Omot? That's Sathers guy though and no matter what he is going to play him as much as he can.

Is Nicholson even on the team?? He hasn't been on the bench or with the team a single game this year.
