Sioux Audio Maverick Audio (Men) UND is up 19-9 in the women's game right now. 9 minutes left in the 1st. Kimbrough has 8.

For those of you that use an FTA satellite system to get the FSSN, I'm just giving a heads up: Tonight's Sioux basketball games are on the FSSN and the satellite coordinates have apparently changed. I don't know if it is just for this game, or if they will also be different for the next home hockey series against UAA. The coordinates for the FSSN tonight are as follows: 12047 V 4.880 The Down Frequency is the only thing different, but I could not get tonight's game on the channel that was stored in my reciever that I've watched hockey, football, and the 1st basketball game on.

I got it now, thank goodness. They changed the Down Freq. SCSU 33 UND 29 3:00 left in the 1st half

DakotaDan, are you watching on TV or listening to radio. It is supposed to be on FSSN but I can't get it on FTA satellite.

Scoring Leaders Little 18 Youmens 18 Gutter 12 Youmens had 5 assists and Little had 9 rebounds. UND had 19 turnovers and shot just 38% from the field. Had they kept the Turnovers around 10-12, and shot the ball like they normally do, the Sioux would have won this game easily. UND outrebounded CWU 38-32.

I am confident of that as well. There is alot of talent on this team, and they show promise. And most of them were recruited by Glas, so after Jones gets more of "his" players into his system there will be even more to look forward. Hopefully Doyle gets healthy quick, that will help as well.

CWU 67 UND 62 Final Score 2 tough losses for UND this weekend. We actually had a 1 point lead late in this game as well. Signs of a young team that hasn't played together alot. I think I heard Swygman say UND shot under 40% from the field for the night. Very uncharacteristic, the Sioux have shot around 51% from the field all year.

Sioux down 3, 20 sec left, had the ball. Youmens 3 pt attempt was blocked, Gutter retrieved and heaved up another 3 and missed. Sioux now down 5 after CWU free throws

Now down 3 with 1:05 left

Sioux down 1 with 1:20 left

Swyg said during tonight's game that Little didn't play at all in the first half against Western Oregon. I wonder if he was benched for some reason? Disciplinary?

CWU 52 UND 49 3:30 left

CWU 31 UND 26 Halftime They've shown the habit of letting the lead slip away in the second half, now is their chance to show that they can make up ground in the second half.

Sioux down 8 with 3 minutes left in 1st

Sioux down 7 with 9 min left in 1st

Johnny Spevak is a starting guard for CWU. He was an all-NCC wide reciever for the CWU football team this past season. Youmens, Boyce, Kruse, Little, Koenig start for UND

CWU is 4-6 on the season. They're a high scoring team averaging about 84 pts/game, but they give up about 82 points per game. They also turn the ball over about 18 times a game. They're leading scorers are F Lance Den Boer (Sr., 6-6, 215) and G Tyler Monk (Jr., 6-0, 190). Den Boer is scoring 18 pts/game and leads the team in rebounding with 5 per game. Monk is averaging 13 pts/game. CWU seems to be more of a outside shooting team. UND should have the edge as far as physical play goes. CWU doesn't really seem to have a huge inside scoring threat. If UND can take care of the ball, they should be able to come out on top. They led the entire game last night until about 3 minutes left, then gave it away. UND is now 3-5 away from the Sioux Center.

Awesome, found it! THANKYOU ICEBERG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Western Oregon is 3-6 on the year. However, 2 of their losses are against Brigham Young and Oregon St and they've only played one home game all season. Not counting their game against BYU, they've won 2 of their last 3 and the loss was a quadruple overtime game. Last year, they finished with a 9-18 overall record. Their two best players appear to be F/C Jacob Mitchell (Sr., 6-7, 235) and F Ryan Schmidt (Jr., 6-7, 210). Mitchell is averaging 19 pts and 6 reb and Schmidt is averaging 15 pts and 6 reb. Should be a very winnable game for UND and I expect them to win. They've hung with a couple of the better NSIC teams this year and they've been playing well of late, but to be fair, their last 5 games have been twice against a very crummy Bemidji St. squad, two NAIA teams, and a loss to a transitioning DII team (Mary).

GeauxSioux and Bobiwachuifan, You both make excellent points. The problem is that, right or wrong, athletics are often the face of a university. This move to DI is about more than athletics, actually it is mostly about academics, good business, and prosperity for the university. The issue with this recent revelation by Minnesota is the fact that in this region of the Upper Midwest, UMTC is UND's biggest competitor both academically and athletically. They already have a huge advantage due to being in a metro area of 3+ million people and having upwards of 40,000 students. Minnesota is the closest major DI school to UND, and the next two closest are Iowa and Wisconsin. Apparently, none of the three of them want anything to do with us athletically due to an issue that they know absolutely nothing about. I think it is a major blow to know that none of these schools have no interest in competing against UND, and yes Minnesota was the big one. Sure, football and basketball can certainly find games to play against other major opponenst. But what about soccer, volleyball, baseball, softball, T & F, etc.? Those areas is where UND will be hurt most by these maniacal policies. It may pay to send the football team to the Southeast or Southwest part of the country once a year, but what about all these other sports teams, multiple times per year? My fear is that this just the beginning. We have these three. Then there is Dartmouth. The New England area (BC, BU, Harvard, UMASS, New Hampshire) is another area of the U.S. that I think UND would be relying upon for future scheduling, due to hockey ties, that with the predominant liberal views of that region could be the next to boycott UND. I firmly believe that there is far greater support for the nickname than against, including the Native American community. The problem is that those few that are against it are making much more noise about it than the vast majority that think it is a non-issue.

Yet another reason why the Big Sky is such an attractive potential conference home for North Dakota athletics (crossing fingers). For a mid-major/FCS conference, they have excellent television coverage. They also have a deal with Altitude, and then there is Big Sky TV, and nearly all Montana/Montana St. football games are on TV. The Big Sky is definately a conference that is aware of the importance of TV markets. I wonder if they are aware of a certain sports channel that reaches three states in which they currently have no presence in, in the FSSN?

You make a good point about the Gutter and Koenig. But, on the flip side, against alot of teams, isn't the 4 man guarding Gutter or Koenig down low going to also be in big trouble? I think that the NCC has alot of #4 position players who should probably be playing the #3 spot. If Gutter and Koenig could get healthy, I think they could present some match-up problems offensively in leauge play. But you're right, the two of them could be liabilities defensively against smaller forwards. I just think big guys inside is the best way to win games. UND has three of the biggest post players in the NCC with Gutter, Koenig, and Lenhertz.

Hey, I'm a football guy and the off-season drives me nuts. So who do we all think are the best to play for the Sioux. Sorry if I left anyone off the list. QB- I'll take Klosterman because he took us to the promised-land. In my book he gets a slight edge over Bowenkamp because he won the big game. Personally, I think Bowenkamp was the best "pure passer" to wear a Sioux uniform, but Klosterman was a better football player. RB- Phillip Moore, hands down. Fastest, shiftiest guy I ever saw. Reciever- The passing game has really grown in the last decade and a half, so most of the recievers with all of the statistical records have come fairly recently. I think Dressler will go down as the most prolific reciever in North Dakota history. He's already UND's all-time leading receiver with a year still left to play. But it is pretty hard to argue with what Ron Gustafson did, against the cometition that he did it against (pre-DII). I'll go with Dressler, because I get to see him play. I know, I'm picking all pretty recent guys, that I have personally followed, but these players also coincide with UND's rise to prominence as a national power in the last 15 years or so. I'd like to hear from those who saw guys like Dave Osborn, Ron Gustafson, Corey Colehour, etc, etc, and how they compare to the players we've had in the last 10-15 years.

Six Sioux earn D2Football.com all-region honors Congrats guys!

I agree that there is potential there, and especially with Gutter. My worry is that I believe that upper body injury was a broken rib. That can linger for a long long time. Very uncomfortable. I'd like to see a starting line-up of Gutter, Koenig, Boyce, Little, and Youmans; with Kruse, Dryburgh, Doyle, and Lenhertz seeing alot of time.
