Down 7 now................... I'd love to know how many layups we've given up and 2nd chance points BOX OUT!!!!

59 North Dakota 62 SAC ~3:30 2nd half

55 North Dakota 56 SAC 4:52 2nd half Wilmer fouls out Sac hasn't scored in over 5 minutes....

45 North Dakota 54 SAC ~9:00 2nd half

Poor rebounding as well

41 NOrth Dakota 51 SAC ~12:00 2nd half Horrible defense in the 2nd half................

I can't

No

35 North Dakota 41 SAC A few minutes into 2nd half 11-0 run by SAC to start the half.......

Sioux shooting 46% from the field, and 90% on freethrows..............

I've always like the interlocking ND, I suppose because I'm more of a football fan than anything else. It has been a constant in the althletic department forever. The Indian head logo has been changed so many times over the years it has been hard for me to latch onto. I know you don't like it because of its subtle similarity to Notre Dame's use of the same letters of the alphabet, but when I see a New York Mets hat, I don't confuse it with a Yankees hat..............

35 North Dakota 29 SAC Half

25 SAC 25 North Dakota 2:47 1st half

Awesome alley oop dunk from Webb to Huff to give the Sioux the lead!

21 Sac 19 North Dakota 7:24 1st half Sioux shooting 33% Maybe attendance at the Betty is not to bad...............

16 SAC 10 North Dakota 11:36 1st half

Wow, horrible college venue. Much smaller than the GF high schools I'd guess...............

Video working now..... I downloaded the newer version of Adobe flash and One vision plugin................ Now its working

6 Sac St 5 North Dakota 15:49 1st half

Sucks the video not working for me. I've had good luck with Big Sky TV in the past...................

Me too. I've never had trouble before, but am tonight...........

I'm interested to see what kind of draw there is for the NDSU game. The last one in GF was over 7,500. But I figure that most of GF has given up on everything at UND that isn't played on ice...................6,000 seems like a reasonable guess. Too bad considering NDSU looks good, and this years North Dakota team is likely much more talented than the teams of the early 90's that drew between 4,000-5,000 every night...........................

For basketball attendance to rise, I think the basketball team needs to start winning alot of games. Grand Forks has become a tough market. The novelty of DI never materialized here like it did in Fargo, Brookings, and even Vermillion. I think the biggest reason for that is because prior to the move to DI, North Dakota was a threat to win the national title in nearly every revenue sport............football, hockey, women's basketball................ When the fans are used to that, and you have hockey beating the crap out of everybody during the same time frame that football and women's basketball are struggling......................it is tough for those programs................. You have one athletic department beating up on Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc... for the last 5 years while other athletic departments are losing to Sioux Falls and Mayville St. Grand Forks obviously wants a winner...................they show up in better numbers for games against Texas A&M-Kingsville and Waldorf College than they do for South Dakota and Montana......................... As far as marketing, I think it is pretty hard to criticize what UND has done since Brian Faison and Sean Johnson came aboard. I've watched more Sioux football, basketball, volleyball, and women's hockey on TV over the last three years than I have in my entire life..................I've listened to volleyball games and women's hockey games on the radio.........................what other universities in this region are broadcasting volleyball games on the radio for crying out loud?................. Long story short.................attendance will go up if UND wins..................in every sport. The average sports fan in and near Grand Forks are not intelligent enough to recognize quality football and basketball competetion otherwise.

San Diego State is off to the Big West............. Link

Well that was embarassing....................
