When it comes to hockey, UND can offer more to recruits than the large schools. Any other sport would be concerning but for hockey UND has tradition, facilities, name/brand, fan base and FCOA. Notre Dame to the big 10 may actually be good for UND as it may open up some non conference games. Getting big name schools on the schedule and winning doesn't hurt either.

"They suffered enough".

Bolomboy looked good yesterday against the bigs Xavier threw at him.

Seinglen struggled last night. Wasn't even looking to shoot first as the game went along.

Good game by SDSU. Its been a fun day to watch the tourney.

I don't care if there was 500 people there. UND was able to afford the game and it was a good investment. It was a quality opponent and was a great game not only for the fans that were able to attend but for those that watched on TV. Biggest benefit is a young team getting another game vs. a good opponent. I even think the Summit fans would approve of their RPI (#75)

The problem is Joe "Public" listens to this. I know he does it for ratings but he needs to get called out his bull !@#$ as well. If not, than UND needs to stop giving him the time of day.

The end of regulation shot clock rundown is a tough one for me. It was out of a timeout so you'd like to see something better earlier in the clock. I don't know what was said to Hooker. I think back to the Weber game and being upset cause we didn't put the ball in Hookers hands, now this game the ball gets in Hooker's hands and being upset because he didn't get a good look or go early enough.

Can't disagree. Best game he played all season.

Hoping they squash Avants shooting 3 pointers this off season. Not sure he hit one this year. That is my only complaint of him. He really exceeded expectations as a true freshman.

On the way back to Fargo. Fun game to watch and good crowd. Again, props to the administration to put the money in to showcase this young, talented team one more time at home. A few thoughts: The team got better from this game. That was a good team we got the opportunity to play. Crandall is freakishly athletic. Some of the plays he made tonight were ridiculous to watch. Best game from Shanks this year. His role may be coming off the bench. He just looked and played more relaxed against the 2nd best interior team he saw this year. McBuckets 2.0 basketball IQ is high. IMO, Seales will be our most improved player next year. With a little muscle and a little more work on his midrange jumper he will be a tough matchup at the 3. Glad we have Hooker another year. Not his best game tonight but he is the player we can market this program around this offseason and build excitement around. Shoot a decent percentage from the line in regulation, we win the game.

You apparently cared enough to wait until the game was over to post.

Maybe it's just an obsession right Dan.

The Big Sky regular season champion won the conference tournament. Don't kid yourself Dan, thats the only reason IPFW was there. At least I think they showed up.

Here is the podcast for those who would like a listen: http://www.wday.com/radio/3988217-970-wday-demand-mark-kennedy-mike-mcfeely-show

This ^^^^^^^^. I'm waiting for the podcast to become available so others can listen and give there thoughts but man, it was a poor interview and Kennedy did a good job not taking any of the bait. I just really find it funny that nothing UND does can be brought up by the Fargo media without a mention of NDSU.

Kennedy was just on the McFeely show. Mike tried to get Kennedy to put his foot in his mouth multiple times regarding enrollment targets, flying business or coach, hockey vs. football and others but the new president handled himself very well. I live in Fargo and I don't always realize it but McFeely and other Bison fans really feel threatened by UND. There is no way that Mike would ask those questions to Brescanni.

Someone forgot to tell the NIT field how high the Summit's RPI was.

I hope you are able to find time to relax before the game this week so you can enjoy it. Does Maryland know SDSU's RPI?

Props to the athletic dept getting two postseason home games for basketball

Solid opponent to bring into the Betty.

Man you are really jealous of UND having two players nominated for this. It's really funny. Were you this up in arms about your buffalo being nominated for mascot of the year a few years back?

I won't disagree. You are taking the comment out of context though. Try reading.

We offer women's scholarships? We offer more sports than NDSU? Stop me if I'm getting close
