Agreed. Just 2 seasons ago in Jone's first season, UND lost 17 games. 12 of them were by an average of 3.5 points. It is nice to see progress being made. 6 of their 9 wins this year have been real nail-biters.

Harkins had 25 points tonight. Man he has played well this year. Makes you wonder what his career could have been like had he not lost virtually 2 full seasons.

84 North Dakota 78 Mary Final

Sioux up 4 with 28 seconds. Mary fouling now......

78 North Dakota 72 Mary 1:37 left

It is very good. It's been better than the NCC for the last 4-5 years. Now they have half of the NCC with them....

Sioux up 3 West answered Mertens' 3 from about 28 feet.

Sioux get a quick basket in OT, up by 2 Harkins has 20

Uggh! It is usually us who have the strong finish! Frustrating to say the least. At any rate, thanks to everyone else for participating in the thread. It is more fun with more than just me in the basketball game thread. They say one is the lonliest number........

Tied up with 3 seconds left

Sioux were milking the clock, set and ran a play beautifully that would have iced it, but Bledsoe fumbled the pass out of bounds that would have been a sure lay-up. Sioux up 3 with 21 seconds left

67 North Dakota 64 Mary 54 seconds left Mary just hit a 3

66 UND 61 Mary 1:43 left Harkins with a bucket and a foul........FT good!

Git-R-Done! Seattle and South Dakota will by far and away be the two best teams to play in GF this season.

Sioux back up by 2 now ~4:00 left

56 North Dakota 58 Mary 5:27 left Sioux making some silly mistakes now

Mary's seems to be a decent outside-shooting team. They are hitting the cracks in our zone defense. 56 North Dakota 53 Mary 7:53 2nd half

No, watching on the web. See post above. I actually planned on taking my daughter to tonights game since it was a double header, but reconsidered with the weather. I'm 100 miles from Forks, so weekday games are hard.

Basketball is tough for me too. I can really only go on the weekends, and there really aren't always alot of Saturday home games this year. I'm going to USD and the season ending tournament for sure.

52 North Dakota 47 Mary 11:34 2nd half Mitchell is warming up..........has 11 points, three 3-pointers

Come up this year on Jan 24! They play South Dakota in a double-header matinee! Biggest home game of the year, for sure. Denver in hockey that night! Gonna be fun!!!!!! I love all-day Fighting Sioux sporting events. So does Mrs. bincitysioux!

Attendance is a season high 2,030. Good job Grand Forks!

You guys should make a point of making a few games before that happens!

42 North Dakota 37 Mary 15:48 2nd half It is really alot of fun to actually see the fruits of the switch to the Princeton offense. It has taken 3 seasons, but more and more often you are actually able to see the guys run it the way it is supposed to be run, and when it works, you can definately see the benefits of it.
