St Cloud is a great team, top 3-4 in the country....probably the favorite to win the title. There is no reason to really get too worked up about losing to a well-coached team like them. I think most were worried when you have to beat a team like them 3-4 times in a year. 29% shooting in the 1st and low 30's for the game is going to catch up to a team. The biggest difference between this years team and the ones from the late 90's is the ability to create easy baskets. Those teams also could go on bad shooting streaks, but they had the ability to create transition baskets off the defensive boards and also many points off the press. These things helped overcome the poor shooting nights. BTW, UND barely beat St.Cloud early in the year, in fact it was tied in the last minute or two of the game. UND actually beat Northern much worse this time than they did in non-conference. As far as Pueblo, UND by 40 the first meeting and 23 the second, but had a player who was unstoppable that night and had 33(?) before fouling out. Please get facts straight!

Would you rather they didn't make the playoffs? If so, there is a team to the south to follow, they won't diappoint so much.

Huh?

Stafford did in fact have a MRI yesterday.

Pretty good source told me Drew would be getting a MRI today, maybe more details will come out tonight or tomorrow. This person also said there was very little limp, if any when he seen Drew early this afternoon.

Anyone know how Ledger's back is doing and if she will be able to contibute more minutes this coming weekend?

Vince Young would say "who cares what the damn answer is because I am going to make more money than all of ya".

Another common Richie quote/story/excuse is when the other team has a nobody "step up" out of nowhere, it seems a non-scorer is always coming up with a big game of 15-20 pts against the men. Well Richie, why aren't you stopping him and how come UND never has someone do it themselves? I also would like to know the reasoning behind the 6 votes for Glas...does he have a lifelong pass with some people?

I heard it is a knee problem, but does anyone know what exactly? Something that he can come back from easily? Or was it bad such as blown ACL and MCL's?

Somebody better check where John Scott was when the accident happened.

If anything, they should name a model after him!

Is this either Poncho or Lefty's new alias?

I loved Prp's little reminder to Pauky, just to let him know that the Sioux remember what he did. Paukovich has to be skating lightly out there knowing things like that can happen(and should) more to him. I would never encourage something that would seriously injure a player, but I highly promote little "love taps" against the Paukovich's of the world. He has to have his head on a swivel when Prp's on the ice with him. Prp picked the perfect time, which as stated earlier, isn't always the case.

Haktol was on "Beyond the pond" this morning with Dubay on KFAN. He said the player that the off week awhile back helped the most was Toews....he said they noticed it practice right away....a whole different energy level. The rest helped him take his play to a higher level after the world juniors had drained him. Dubay and Micheletti were quite complimentary to the Sioux...getting worried about possibly playing in the GF regional.

Nice to see Minot took a couple of unsportsmanlike penalties after the Central eng.

John Greicar named player of game.

I see where 11 kickers got invited to Indy, but Jeff Glas did not....wondering if that is a big deal or not when it comes to kickers?

Kirstie Gillette had a couple of big games so far in regionals, averaging 26.5ppg and 10 rpg. Roebuck and Brewster were up in Grafton watching on Monday. She doesn't have much of an outside shot yet, hasn't had the need to....also needs alot of work on her ballhandling to play a wing. Dominates inside at that level, very strong under the basket, athletic enough to run the floor, plays hard. Definitely have to adapt to a different position to play in NCC, but ability is there.

Sannes had a bout of the flu.

It's too bad Grand Forks didn't keep him on the city council a little longer....he would of have fixed all the problems.

Need two lower levels for Sat night. leave reponse or pm, thanks.

the Gillette girls are cousins.

Even more bad news, Josh Doyle is doubtful for Saturday's game at Duluth with a shoulder injury suffered last night.

If you have moved on, what the heck are you doing on the Sioux board then? Remember, UND/GF's biggest criticism of the Bison was why not wait and find out more details, especially about a conference....how's that going? The Bison rushed in head over heals to actually think in their own minds they had one up on UND for once. If the Bison and SDSU had waited a few more years it probably would have been easier for everyone.
