Most likely him. He has been videoing A3 since he was in traveling basketball

A3's Dad (A2) is usually very well dressed. Often wears a trench coat and nice black dress shoes. He is a very sharp and a style conscious dresser. There have been other family members at previous games - but not always. I've only seen A3's grandparents (A1) once - both he and his wife had full kelly green sweat suits with A3s picture on them with his name in different areas - made me look twice. The family has a history of being vocal at games and are very much all about A3. A bit over the top on all fronts involving A3, and insufferable would be a good term to describe.

I know Guga is struggling from the FT line, but why play Jones at all at this point. 40% and Guga has brought energy

Unwatchable

I wasn't able to watch the game live today. I see we won, but it looked closer than I would have thought. Should I watch it, or just check the box score and get the jist?

HA. I was thinking the same thing.

Why did Aumer play limited minutes? She seems to be a worker and the culture Hutter wants to have, but she only played 11 minutes. She didn’t look hurt. Sad if after 4 yrs with a program your minutes get taken away for the future.

I don't know for sure, but I'm sure they will do an MRI. If there was a lot of swelling, they used to have to wait a few days before the MRI to let the swelling go down, but I'm not sure if technology has made that a mute point now. Once they have the MRI done, they will most likely have to have someone read it and confirm or deny. Probably a day or two at the earliest - a week at the latest. Just my guess however.

Well, Marley was in street cloths - again. I hadn't heard he had an injury that lasts this long. I would assume (or hope) the coaching staff have mentally moved on from him/them. Micah must not have made the trip. It's really too bad too, because both of them are unreal athletically, but it sniffs like there may be some mental maturity things going on.

It was a great win, but the concern amongst the staff is Anderson's injury is possibly an ACL tear. Obviously, they will need an MRI to confirm, but that result would be a blow. I certainly hope not.

TAKE JONES OUT. 40% FT

I'm curious about this. If this is true - which I guess I lean towards the possibility, logically then wouldn't that mean that every level below the top levels would be watered down? Is the NSIC down as well? D3 also down? I don't follow those levels close enough to know.

It really is. Why is this? Is this the result of the change in the portal and NIL or is it just an anomaly and it will get better. Maybe a little of both.

You might be right. If that plays out, how long of an extension does UND offer? I would imagine Sather wouldn't be to interested in a 1yr deal, maybe not even a 2yr deal - Unless the $$ was too good to turn down.

You can stream it from anywhere that has internet.

Gotta have this one. 3 road games in a row, St Thomas is a very tough win in their new 175 million dollar arena. We need to beat the 0-5 team in the conference. There will be a masked avenger in the game tonight!

I feel bad for BJ, he has really had injury issues since leaving UND.

I think you just nailed the reason for the thread. What you said is all true. That said, 7 years of history and underperformance is also true. Sather's contract is done at the end of this year - thus the Conundrum - do you extend multiple years based on a current 4-2 in the conference, or do you move on based on the 7 years of history. Obviously, the remaining games may weigh heavily on that decision.

99-48. Unfortunately, the game was never as close as the score indicates.

This is hard to watch.

Dollar dog night. That may well be the positive. We should get a look at a fairly well oiled SDSU team, and get another glimpse at what the goal is. If the turnovers and inconsistent shooting continue tonight, it could get ugly.

I wonder where Sather's salary is compared to the other Summit League coaches? I asked AI and it only provided salaries from a couple years ago, so it wasn't much of a help. Also, there are probably incentives within the contract, that don't get divulged. I'll be very curious as to what happens. I was pretty confident we would be in the bottom 4 this year. The way the Summit League is playing out, with injuries and coaching changes, I have to say, I believe I will be wrong. I would assume you would need to offer Sather at least a 2yr deal because from his perspective, I wouldn't play the year to year game, I would try and find a more secure fit? I lean towards moving on from him. I believe the twins will be gone. I also think at least 3 of the 4 guys who don't play (maybe all 4 of them) will move on. Even if A3 were to leave (and Moore doesn't come), a new coach would have a pretty good base to work. He would also have several scholarships at his disposal. A new coach may also bring a player or two with.

I see this as a possibility. Let's say this happens and the 3 graduate. The twins leave, but A3 stays, and you have a couple scholarships for the coach to play with (hoping he can get what is needed). Would you take this scenario with a 4 year extension of Sather? Or would you prefer Sather was relieved of his position and let the chips fall where they may for a rebuild? I'm not sure which way I land based on history, but im curious as to what others think and why.

USD is in a tough spot due to thw injuries. With them in the position they are in, UMKC in a free for all with a coach that's been fired, and Oral Bob, who is just bad, maybe UND can finish above the bottom 4

???? He seemed fine on Thursday. I'm sure yesterday's practice was mostly film and light. That's crazy
