Ha ha. If he were 15 games under .500 after 8 years................never mind. Weber would never tolerate that kind of ineptitude.

Weber is really struggling this year......

UND shooting 36%. 3-13 on 3 pointers but they are persistent at least. Despite the fact that they can't hit from beyond the arc, they are taking more three point shots than two point shots. Vandals have the rebounding edge 17-13. 10 turnovers already for the Sioux which is uncharacteristic.

I have to give them credit for staying with it and getting close by halftime.

25 UND 32 IU halftime

17 UND 27 UI 3:19 1H

That was stupid, but Jones' teams have always been high risk high reward defensively, which is why we often lead the league in steals every year. Results in more fouls I suppose. Seems like DeRouen is often in foul trouble.

Just fouled a guy on a jump shot for the third time this half, this time a three pointer. Vandals up 23-10

10 UND 17 UI UNDER 12

Vandals up 7-0 early......

This is where the program is at............... Big Sky Thursday Night Preview

The Big Sky has softball, they started it shortly after UND joined.......

It was a cost sharing deal between the Park District and UND.

We can all agree to disagree, that is fine. Personally, I really like the sport of baseball. After football, it would be my favorite sport to watch. It was my best sport as a player in school. But I also like to think I am practical. The season is just a little over 3 weeks away. The average high temp in Grand Forks on February 13 (Opening Day) is 21 degrees. This has been a mild winter, but on average, there is already 13.5 inches of snow on the ground by the date of this year's opening day. On top of that, during the first 3 months of the NCAA baseball season, Grand Forks receives an additional 15.9 inches of snow. There are few quality baseball players from outside the region that would come to North Dakota to further their baseball career. The best players from this region are going to go to warmer climates to further their careers. Unless there is a major benefactor making baseball self-sufficient, no one will ever convince me that it is a good investment at the University of North Dakota. As I said earlier, It worked in the NCC because virtually every team was just a short bus trip away. Back then, the weather caused postponements rather than cancellations. I wouldn't be in favor of adding Lacrosse. It would just be another sport that nobody cares about, however I think there would be a much bigger upside to lacrosse than there is for baseball. If I were AD for a day, I'd drop baseball and women's hockey and divert all the resources to football and basketball. That may be unpopular, but being practical often is...............

I don't think anyone is saying that Coleman should flat out take someone's spot, at least I am not. But I think he should be utilized more. Tyler is streaky. De Rouen is constantly in foul trouble. Hooker is playing 37 minutes a game in league play. These guys were exhausted in the OT last Saturday, you could tell from the stands. I just think everybody would benefit if Coleman were in the regular rotation and getting 15-20 minutes a game, instead of 7 one night, then 0 the next.

What is the return on baseball though? It generates no income, and more than that, little to no interest. It is hands down the worst investment for the Athletic Department.

I agree that Brady should have come out of the game much earlier. I was cringing on that one low hit on the series prior to the one where he came out.

Oops, I was counting the 1993 Bills, but I guess that would be 21 seasons ago. Jets recently went to back-to-back AFC title games. But I agree, that compared to New England, there is a significant drop off. But you could say that about the league as a whole since the Bob Kraft bought the Patriots.

Ha! In the last 20 years, an AFC East team has participated in the Super Bowl 8 times and in the AFC Championship 13 times! You could definately make a case that the NFC North has been the worst division in the last 20 years though. Packers and that is it. Bears had one good year I think........

Ha! That snow plow is in the Patriots Hall of Fame! I prefer to think of them as innovators........

Ha! I forgot you are a Dolphins fan. My sympathies................... 8th Super Bowl appearance in 29 years for my Pats. And of course they cheated to get to every one of them............ Bummer about the Packers though. I would have liked revenge of the 1997 Super Bowl.

In addition to Tyler having a great game, how about the effort by Hooker? 14 pts, 10 assists, 6 rebounds. The 6 rebounds led the team, and that fact right there is a big reason for the end result. Still, I continue to love watching Hooker. But with a 7 footer and an ultra athletic 6'8" forward, our point guard should never lead this team in rebounding. He is always working hard. Plays a lot of minutes too. Has to be gassed.....

I think they were exhausted in OT. Same 5 out there mostly for last 9 minutes
