Attendance was 1967. Pretty good turnout, entertaining game, disappointing result.

I didn't respond to the "lie part" because I did no such thing therefore I felt no need to justify the accusation. Good grief I didn't even mention hoopster in the post in question. I didn't even remember who brought up Izzo in this thread until just now when I went back and looked, and you are correct it was hoopster. Obviously I have struck a chord with you for whatever reason. Seeing as how this is totally off topic, feel free to take it up with me via personal message and I will do my best to address any of your concerns.

UND falls to the Bobcats, now 8-5 in Big Sky play. Tough weekend for UND against Montana schools.

Man, tough loss. Just can't seem to close one out for whatever reason. 2 things really stand out from box score. We had more missed free throws than they had free throw attempts. They had 14 offensive rebounds, the final one obviously being the dagger.

Crowd comes alive for good basketball......

Stats are pretty even except for turnovers. That is the difference so far.....

34 UND 37 MSU HALF

Better crowd today than Thursday.....

I implied the comment made me laugh. I did not call him or his opinion moronic or unintelligent. And I will stand by own opinion that the temperature isn't what has thus team in 9th place and that Jones is no Tom Izzo. See how I did that? Made my opinion known without directly insulting or demeaning anyone. Being a moderator doesn't require me to give up the right to have an opinion.

Agree. I have been able to go to more games this season than I have since I was in college. Although the results have been mostly disappointing, every game has been entertaining to watch. Hooker alone is worth the price of admission. I encourage anybody in town for the hockey game to get to he basketball game today too. Should be win today!

ALL CAPS is my "respect my authority" voice. I add red font when things really get out of hand.

UND is 4-1 against the Cats since joining the Big Sky. We have played well enough to win every home game so far, just haven't closed them out. Hopefully they get after them on Saturday.

13-30 is this program's record against the other 5 former NCC schools since we moved to DI. 17-39 is this program's record against low-major and mid-major programs in the last 8+ seasons.

Just curious if there are any fans here that realistically would make a trip to the Big Sky tournament if it were held at a predetermined site. Personally speaking, if it did land in Billings, which is an 8 hour drive for me, I would probably make that drive IF UND were the #1 seed and there is a good chance that I'd see them make the NCAA Tournament. I would probably make the trip under the same circumstances to anywhere that I could fly from ND non-stop like Vegas, SLC, Denver. I can't imagine I would ever make the effort to get to a place like Reno. I am just curious if there would be any interest in this from regular fans if they did have time to plan the trip. I think the fact the Frozen Face Off is a week later is always going to limit attendance from the UND faithful. I plan on going to that every year that UND makes it, so two consecutive weekends of travel like that would be tough. Hence my #1 seed requirement.

Rebuilding implies that something was built up at some point. It has been about 12-13 years since this program has been where it really should be. 4 games over .500 has been the pinnacle thus far of the past 10+ years. Jones was in fact hired to "rebuild" this thing. I think the argument that he hasn't gotten the job done is a valid one. And let's watch the name calling please, no need for that.

EWU got the win over Sac last night so the Eagles are alone in 1st place by a half game for the moment. Looking at the schedules though, I'd say EWU has a bit tougher road to hoe. As far as North Dakota is concerned, they remain in 9th, a game behind Weber State. That loss, at home, to a Weber team that is having an uncharacteristic down year, is looming large.

Loveland/Greeley and Flagstaff are out of the running....... Five Basketball Championship Locations Selected for Site Visits Billings a finalist for hosting Big Sky men's basketball tournament It seems as though the bid from Billings does not include the women's tournament. If they are going to do this, I don't understand why they would be separated.

That foul was called from 50 feet away while the ref that was 4 feet away nothing to say....
