  1. Agree, however how much of a stepping stone can it be to go from UND to East Tennessee state. ETSU was the 5th place team in the SoCon, 2 games above .500 on the season. Would like to think a flagship school could pay their assistants better than a directional school from a poor BBall conference. Just another illustration as to how our administration values our Bball program.

     

    Again, I will wait to judge what our program is willing to pay when our current staff earns a salary increase or our current staff is replaced.  Right now we don't just pay more to the current staff because everyone else is doing it. 

  2. Shay tired of working for the peanuts paid out by North Dakotas flag ship University

     

    Faison has shown if a coach or staff earns a bump in pay, he'll provide it.  Just like the real world, you don't get a bump in pay without results.

  3. Any additional motivation is there for the boys if needed:

     

    Game 1- playing Boston with the best player in the country in their backyard

    Game 2- "potentially" helping your head coach get the monkey off his back and "potentially" playing a rival for #8 or Playing this years Cinderella and a team who will be looking forward to playing UND at full strength.

     

     

    Its going to be a fun week and a half leading up to the games.

  4. Never count this group out. Something a LOT of posters did all week and every other chance they had after a loss.

    I think people questioned where they were at after a below average performance last weekend. Listening to comments from Hak and the players, I don't think evaluations of the weekend were too far off.

    Most said if that play continued it would be one and done, obviously they prepared much different this week and it showed.

  5. Other than the fact that GV is DII, have no intention of moving, and would require 5 years to transition . . . Ya perfect. GV owns und, so that would be another reason for und to stay out of the SL/MVFC.

    Grand Valley and UND consistently met in the playoffs when UND and FU were DII. I understand FU not being familiar with GV.

  6. Very impressed with the overall effort and execution, which has overcome the very inconsistent officiating.

    This^^^^

    I made some comments after last weekend, the effort tonight is a complete 180. Fun to watch. Time to finish and build momentum for tomorrow night.

  7. For those interested Brad Heidelbaugh is playing in the Class B tourney this weekend. He'll be on TV tonight and has a good chance of winning Mr. Basketball this year. Tanner Bernhardt is another impressive athlete for Rugby and I heard UND was talking with him. Anyone know where he is going?

    The most impressive athlete I saw yesterday was Anthony Olson from Lamoure. I mentioned him before but I do not know how this kid slipped by UND and NDSU. I hadn't seen him play BBall since his sophomore year and he has got to be one of the best athletes in the state this year and maybe even the last couple of years. Check out the alley opp dunk the 5'11 kid threw down yesterday. He was grabbing rebounds surrounded by 6'4, 6'3 and 6'7 kids yesterday. Good job by Coach Dosch at getting him to Northern.

    Heidelbach looked pretty impressive tonight. Hard to believe there is a better athlete in the tournament. Also have to believe he wins Mr. Basketball

  8. Only short sighted people would judge the success of a conference based upon the first 2 years of the conference tournament. It's not a tradition to anyone yet, it's new. But in the league's first year it produced 2 of the 4 #1 seeds which was a pretty good start.

    So in 5 years if you increase attendance by 20% year over year there will be 8500 fans. Gotta have goals.

  9. No. 2 Eastern Washington 91, No. 7 Idaho 83
    No. 3 Sacramento State 70, No. 6 Portland State 60
    No. 4 Northern Arizona 63,No. 5 Northern Colorado 57
    No. 1 Montana 76, No. 8 Weber State 73, OT
     

     

    Top 4 seeds advance.  Tonight should be a couple good match ups.  Sac. St. beat EWU during the regular season and Northern Arizona may be playing the best basketball of anyone in the field right now.

  10. The sponsor of the bill said its was perfectly legal what ndsu did. It was the piss ant whining that UND did that screwed everyone.

    Where was that said? I didn't see it in the article.

    I did hear the mighty 790 KFGO talk about it on all the talk shows last week. Your familiar with that one, the home of the bison. I do t think you need to look any further than the city limits of Fargo if you want to point fingers.

    I'll sit back and wait for that link

  11. Vikes got a first round pick for an injured Percy Harvin.  AP is old (in regards to football) but he still has a few years left in the tank and teams that are a running back away know it.  Who wants to win now? 

     

    From the Cowboys perspective, Romo is getting older, Dez Bryant is a video tape away from being suspended for a season himself.  Jones is a business man and knows that you pay to win when your close, no use waiting until tomorrow.   Also, as a business man, Peterson puts butts in the seats of any team he goes to.

     

    If the Vikes hold strong on this, someone is going to give a first round pick.  Don't sell cheap and don't fall for his agents game of causing a scene to get him released.
