Did Avant's foul out? Why is Shanks playing?

Bolomboy is so tough...

Solid defensively, forcing plenty of turnovers. Need to start hitting shots. Seem a bit out of control at the offensive end.

Two minutes into he broadcast and the play by play guy has called us North Dakota State twice,....

Just curious, does anybody here actually know of any UND fans that went to the Tourney that is not a UND employee or a player relative?

Announced attendance for the Montana- Sac game was 2,361.......

SLC gets my vote......

Announced attendance for our game was 1,003

The color guy, Joe Cravens, was the head coach at Weber before Randy Rahe. Also is the former coach of Idaho and Utah.

I want to see Blake and Benton in this game.

Men's Session 1 Announced Attendance PSU v. UNC..............1,311 UND v. SUU..............1,406 SAC v. MSU..............1,723 EWU v. NAU..............1,723

Big Sky reporting attendance of 1,311 for the PSU/UNC game. Looked like just a fraction of that number in the seats.

Would have been nice if the athletic department would have at least sent the cheerleaders out to Reno, and maybe even the pep band. Maybe at minimum give the illusion that they care.

Avants getting the start

Portland St gets by Northern Colorado. Viks will face Weber on Thursday. Watched the highlights, place looked empty.

Have we already beaten Southern Utah and I missed it?

Jones was hired as a DII coach. Purely speculating of course, but my guess is when he was hired, he was likely one of the highest paid coaches in the NCC at the time. His salary raises during his time hear have been commensurate with his successes. Hoops44 seems to think that the athletic department is getting what they are paying for. I'm of the opinion that Jones is earning what he is worth.

MEN'S BASKETBALL: Ready for Reno The Big Sky is reporting attendance of 1,274 for the women's games yesterday. From what I can tell, the Reno Events Center has a capacity of 5,000 for basketball. The Bighorns draw about 2,200 per game. Don't know if the 3,000 seat configuration is used all the time for the Bighorns, or if they did that just for the Big Sky tourney when ticket sales weren't as robust as they'd hoped. Will be interesting to see what kind of crowds Weber and Montana get.

What UND sports fan doesn't love the sound of a goal horn? At Gillette Stadium, New England uses the sound of a fog horn (which sounds an awful lot like a goal horn) to alert the crowd to 3rd and 4th downs. It is a unique touch.

Weber AD not pulling any punches regarding his thoughts on the new tournament format........... Big Sky hopes to build its brand by bringing tournaments to Reno

Kill the lights Run out to Enter Sandman Goal horn or Fog horn on 3rd and 4th down Chelsea Dagger after touchdowns Fireworks Gimmie Some Lovin after the win

UND Twitter account is posting that we play SUU.....

I like Avants alot. One of the best things about him is that when he gets an entry pass down on the block he knows what he's going to do immediately and he moves so fast the defender barely has time to react. Doesn't waste time dribbling or backing his defender down. Doesn't allow for a double team to converge on him.

Looks like we are rooting for the Eags and the Bobcats this weekend........

My guess it is Big Sky TV only. Altitude covered the semis of the Big Sky Tourney up until about 5 yeas ago. You'd think the predetermined site would make it more attractive for an Altitude, Root, or Fox Net to pick up the semis again, but haven't seen anything.
