Come on people, we can do without the name calling.

I didn't say our run D was better, but it is good, just my opinion. You seem to think it is overated. You said there are no good running teams in the Big Sky. There were in fact more Big Sky teams in the Top 10 in rushing last season than there were MVFC teams. In fact, Big Sky teams gain on average 180 rush yards per game while MVFC teams gain 164 yards per game, so it appears as though the Big Sky is actually the more physical, smash mouth, conference where teams focus on establishing a run game. Western Illinois?>?...........yep Missouri St ran all over us. And the only team that gave up more rush yards to the Leathernecks last season than NDSU was Valparaiso. So what does all that mean? It means we didn't do a good job stopping the run on the day we played Missouri St., and NDSU didn't do a good job of stopping the run on the day they played Western Illinois.

Cal Poly was tough for everyone to stop, they led the nation in rushing for crying out loud. It would have been interesting to see NDSU play Cal Poly last year also. I'm not sure I agree that there are no good run teams in the Big Sky. Montana St. was 7th in the nation in rushing. They mustered 62 yards on the ground against North Dakota in Bozeman. Montana racked up a whopping 68 rushin yards against FU in the Fargodome. We gave up 42 rushing yards to them in the Alerus. You picked about the only component of the UND football program to talk smack about that doesn't warrant it. Well played.

Let's not resort to name calling.

This is getting off topic. No need to discuss IQ levels here.

Is there a defined geographical area for each regional? Is there any reason in the future that REA/Scheels couldn't bid on the Midwest regional if say Denver or CC were bidding on the West regional?

In conference play, this team is 5th in 3 pt attempts, and dead last in 3 pt percentage. De Rouen is particularly maddening. He's hoisted up 83 treys on the year, 2nd most on the team, but is hitting just 30%. If he didn't foul out so often, he would probably chuck a lot more up there. Some of these guys just need to accept the fact that long range shooting is just not part of there game.

55 UND 63 SAC 3:51 2H

I think we have 3 freshman bigs that will be good players in Cashman, Shanks, and Shields. Shanks kind of took the weekend off on this trip though.....

48 UND 56 SAC 7:16 2H

Affirmative

That is Shields, not Blake....

38 UND 45 SAC 13:44 2H

Cashman needs to finish that one.

Again, we took more 3 point shots than 2 point shots in the first half. Being out rebounded 22-15, they have 9 offensive boards.....

29 UND 32 SAC HALF

The iron is being kind to Q so far...

24 UND 22 SAC 4:52 1H

14 UND 8 SAC 13:11 1H

EWU lost tonight. This is a big game for Sac if they want to host. Let's play spoiler.

Who is injured? Tyler?

Ugh. And that is a sad problem with a good portion of our fan base. Think small, be small.

Why do they have to go to Italy anyways?

Shields was playing the 5 a lot. I think it was a matchup thing. Nash and Shields played the 4 and 5 most of the night.

I guess, yeah I don't recall seeing De Reuen out there much in the 2nd half. Colemen slapped the ball in frustration up into the stands near the end of the game, then retrieved it and was very slow to return it to the officials, all the while he was jawing with the refs until he got T'd up. All at a pretty critical juncture late in the game. They ended up with 4 straight foul shots.
