Didn't move up much in the D2 poll -- No. 9!
-
I am surprised that SU stayed at No. 5 - although that is probably where they deserve to be!
-
Ben Olson has a partial tear of the MCL, the medial collateral ligament, in his knee. He is questionable for the game on the 15th. Fortunately, he has a lot of time to rest and rehab it. I wouldn't be surprised if he plays.
There were quite a few other nuisance injuries, some that might have held players out of a game this weekend, others may have played but not at 100%.
Bottom line - it is a real break that we do not have a game on Saturday.

I know UND isn't talking much about injuries for legal reasons but does anyone have any idea what type of injuries offensive linemen, Ben Olson and Ryan Grant, had on Saturday? We can't afford to lose either of them but especially Olson - he is a stud!
It is good that we have a week off before the playoffs!

I am posting these scores without the intent to make a point but we do need to remember that the UND game came after only a few days of practice.
Trotters college schedule:
10/26 UND W 95-67
11/2 Michigan St. W 97-83
11/4 Siena W 108-75
11/8 Williams Col (?)
11/9 UMass
11/11 Syracuse
11/13 Ind-Purdue
11/15 UT-El Paso

Why?
-
In case you didn't see the score, the same GlobeTrotter team that beat us last week, handled Michigan State pretty easily over the weekend - winning by 14 points.
-
Some cool suggestions, YaneA but you have way too much time on your hands!!
-
Another truly unbelievable finish!!

Some more bad news for the Sioux - Josh Doyle, the freshman point guard out of Iowa (being red-shirted this year) tore his ACL late last week. He was looking very good in practice. Surgery will be next week. Provided he heals up OK, he will be a good one but missing a few months of practice certainly doesn't help his development.
Mike Gutter, the 6'7' power forward out of Milwaukee, is working very hard and improving. He has gained 15 pounds over the summer and fall and still may be growing. He could be a dandy power forward in a couple of years.
The is a chance that Aaron Austin could be back with the team next year - has a lot of challenges to overcome personally. This is really too bad about him - the coaches feel that he was easily the best athlete on the team!
The Sioux are looking at a power forward and a point guard (he can play the 2 position) during the early signing period. Both are freshman, one out of MN, the other WS. If we don't land either of them, we probably won't sign anyone early. Not much scholarship $ available. This will be a challenge as we have so many juniors - lots of holes to fill after next year but little money to bring kids in before a year from now.

I have not seen Nobles but I understand that he would be a combination of Munlin and Berg. Probably not quite the floor general that Munlin was but a better shooter.
I don't think we should be too down about the performance against the Trotters. They are good and we have so many new faces that had been practicing for just over a week. Plus, we scored 51 points against them in the second half. Losing Austin has really hurt in that he was to be our consistent o/s scorer. Not sure who will fill that slot now - Johnson, Jacobson, etc.
It will be a very interesting year. Not sure how good we will be but I don't think it will be a disaster!
-
Another great summary - thanks!
-
Sweeney mentioned it tonight on the 5:00 news on WDAZ.
-
Nice sized kid, appears to score well while taking a few penalty minutes.
The girls will like him - good looking kid!!
-
I have been traveling and not been in here for awhile. Has it been posted that UND has a commitment for Travis Zajac, an 18 y/o RW from Winnipeg? He is currently the top scorer in the BC Jr. League.
Anyone know more about him?
-
Aaron Austin had some real personal problems that had nothing to do with basketball, UND or Coach Glas. It had been hoped that, once practice started, this would help him get focused and get his head on straight. Obviously, that didn't happen.
I have no inside knowledge on this but I would hope that he can get over this and may come back to UND and the team.
-
This Trotter team is opening its season with UND and will play Michigan State, U Mass, Syracuse and Indiana among others in the college exhibition season. These teams certainly would not "stoop" to playing a nonserious game.
It should be a very good test for UND - probably more than they can handle with so many new faces.
-
Nope - different source.
If I find one, I will post it here. Please do the same.
Thanks!

I live in Florida and my normal source for taping these games for me had some "technical difficulties". Therefore, I am also in need of a copy and will gladly pay all expenses.
-
Wow - that is a surprise - a pleasant one!!
-
Redwing - You make some good points. I agree - if they offenders are capable of "changing their stripes" and posting mature comments, I am all for their participation. I will also acknowledge that some UND posters should clean up their acts as well.

PWBND - I am glad you enjoyed yourself. We UND fans appreciate your classy remarks!

WYOBISONFAN - Although it isn't right, I would guess that you are probably correct that NDSU would not get any breaks from the Committee due to your leaving DII.
