I like the size and the experience of the offensive line. It all starts in the trenches. Skill positions look great. Improved quarterback play and defensive backfield play would make a world of difference. Improvement in those two areas could make a good team into a great team. I believe everything is in place for the QB position to improve next season, regardless of who is taking snaps. The secondary is a much bigger issue in my mind.....................

The Sioux fell tonight to Seattle, ending Gene Roebuck's career as a head coach at North Dakota. Thank-you Gene, for your devoted service to this fine Univeristy...............

Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!!!!!!!!! You just said a little bit ago that the SD Mines game will only draw 6,000-8,000. Now a few hours later you think it'll draw 10,000? So which is it? The opener against SD Mines will probably draw more than both the Cal Poly and SUU games. Depending on whether or not there is a hockey game going on the day that we play Montana, the Mines game could very well draw more than the game against the Griz will. It sucks that the SD Mines game won't count toward the playoffs, but that's just how the cookie crumbles. You can say "it takes money to make money" but then again, it is not YOUR money that UND is working with.............................

I listened to it on the radio. Very entertaining game. Have to think that under normal circumstances, by which I mean not being away from Grand Forks for a whole week prior to the game, the outcome could have been different. The Sioux were obviously gassed by the end of the game. Congrats to the team for a solid season. They basically played two seperate entire months of the season on the road and still managed to win a conference championship, participate in post-season play, and beat 4 schools that qualified for some sort of post-season tournament. The last month or so gives me some optimism heading into next year to see what they can do with a more consistent schedule. And thank you to Pat Mitchell and Mike Mathison for the time that you have dedicated to the University of North Dakota.

The SD Mines game will probably be one of the better attended games of the season............

I saw Weber St. beat Utah Valley last night. There is free webcast of the CIT games here.

RPI over the past 9 seasons: 2011-12: Summit 16, Big Sky 25 2010-11: Summit 21, Big Sky 24 2009-10: Summit 23, Big Sky 18 2008-09: Summit 26, Big Sky 24 2007-08: Summit 22, Big Sky 25 2006-07: Summit 22, Big Sky 24 2005-06: Summit 29, Big Sky 17 2004-05: Summit 24, Big Sky 29 2003-04: Summit 20, Big Sky 23

Sorry to quote myself, but is it just me or is DI basketball becoming more and more like FBS football? It seems like anybody that finishes with a winning record has a decent chance to play a "post-season" game.........................................

I think here-in-lies the problelm with those who think that North Dakota could realistically replace the SD Mines game with a DI opponent.

I think North Dakota and NDSU are in about the same place as far as basketball goes. If they played 10 times, I think each team would probably win 5 games. I'll say that North Dakota was better this year given that we beat Montana, SDSU, Utah Valley, and NDSU..................all of whom are in some sort of post season tournament. IMO, as long as both schools can remain competitive in their respective leagues, an annual North Dakota-NDSU basketball game has the potential to become the biggest sporting event in the state since we won't be playing the Gophers in hockey or the Bison in football anytime in the near future............

Aaron Anderson. Great all around player. Good shooter, smart with the ball, makes free-throws, makes clutch shots, etc. IMO there is no better ball player in North Dakota right now. Lenny Antwi. Considering the log-jam at the guard position, I didn't expect Antwi would be a significant contributor until sometime several years down the road. He was a key player over the last month as a reserve. He looks to be a good shooter and good ball-handler. Terribly inconsistent and frustrating. Lots of talent but undisciplined. This team gives us fans lots to be excited about, but at the same time makes us pull our hair out. They beat some excellent teams this year, and they also lost to some very poor teams this year.

The Sioux have been playing quite well of late. But given their road woes, I think it is a huge disadvantage that by game-time tomorrow they will have been away from Grand Forks for 7 consecutive days.

That's a bunch of B.S. Seattle averages 600 for home games..........................

Aaron Anderson is hands down the best basketball player in the state of North Dakota. There is no debate.........................

It is obvious that you do not like the Summit League or NDSU for that matter. Just so you know, I don't like either as well. But it is also obvious that Oral Roberts had a very good team this year...............

Sioux up 4 Huff playing well

They do have live stats over at greatwestconference.org

New Jersey Tech upset Utah Valley in OT in the first game today, so they will await the winner of UND-UTPA for the title game tomorrow.

AAARRGGGGHHHH!! You have to pay to watch the freaking Great West Tournament...............

Looks like there will in fact be a webcast. 2:30 tip-off today............

Man, Tony, who took a leak in your cheerios this morning? I suppose if you really need to actually "see" one, I could send you a picture of myself. It's almost like you are implying that the only possible way for a UND grad to pursue a career in agriculture is to either unwittingly or just by dumb luck to have a farm or ranch passed on to them from an older generation. You act as if there is some bulletin board at NDSU's student union posting opportunities for the annual Ag Econ grads to pick and choose which operation they will take over. Sorry, it doesn't work like that. Nobody was getting huffy about the "whichever school is bigger must be better argument". Some just pointed out what a stupid argument that is. Utah Valley has a larger enrollment than Duke. Does that make UVU better? Apparently so in the eyes of one Northern Cass faculty member. That is all we were saying. Hell, a few posters here even pointed to the great Architecture and Pharmacy programs at NDSU as reason to make a case for which school is better. I know the "if you want to own the farm............" tag line is what set you off and it gets under the skin of NDSU people, and really that's why we throw it around. That's all. Just in good fun. But just for good measure, you'll be happy to know that a poorly educated, unproductive, half-assed, land-inheriting farmer like me does in fact have an NDSU grad on the payroll.

Standard-Examiner (Utah newspaper) : OUR VIEW: North Dakota's offensive nickname

Any win is a good one for UND baseball.............

Also, there is apparently no internet stream available for the GWC tourney................ At least UVU provided that much last season. I can't wait to be in the Big Sky..................

Just to point out, the autobid for the CIT is only on the men's side. The women don't receive a bid to any post season tourney for winning the GWC. However, there is a women's tournament called the Women's Basketball Invitational. Roebuck has said that if they win the GWC tourney, UND may have a pretty good chance of being invited to that. Chicago St. and South Dakota participated in the WBI last year along with schools like Cleveland St., Idaho, Northern Colorado, and Wright St. just to name a few. UAB won it last year.
