Double play to end it. UND wins 4-3

Explain

I'm sure UND will have a camp. The staff will have some work to do to get back on the radar of some local kids.

There will be a minimum of 30 additional players joining the team next year. That probably makes up nearly 1/3 of our available scholorships. The players have had 14 practices to adjust to new schemes and coaching. The coaches have had 14 practices to evaluate the current talent and find the offense/defense that will best work with the talent we have. Yesterday was about what I expected and trying to judge the outcome of next season based on what was on the field yesterday would be very difficult to do.

Where is that FU fan that always comes on here claiming this was never going to happen. How likely is it they stop at football only?

What has he done at UND to deserve to be paid according to the market? He's probably a fantastic guy, I've never met him. Possibly a great coach. However, I haven't seen results on the court to warrant a raise to anyone on our men's basketball staff that tells me we should just start handing out raises because "that's the market".

When someone says they haven't been in contact, usually they have been in contact.

Tell me why he deserved 60k.

As has been stated/proven multiple times Faison has spent money on coaches who prove they deserve a raise or coaches that he is hiring. I don't feel there is a coach on our men's basketball staff who has proven they deserve a raise. Faison would be foolish to shell out money to coaches who have not proven anything. Additional money does not equal wins. What I am curious to see is how the hiring of the new coach at FU affects the raise Brewster should be getting. Brewster has proven he can coach and recruit and needs to be paid accordingly.

#buttfootball. That didn't take long.

That escalated quickly.

Game last night was one if the best I've seen. This tournament has been a good one.

Delta has already cancelled a couple outbound flights from Fargo for tomorrow.

In the recent past Wyoming has played home games at Tennessee vs the Vols. Other schools have done the same vs FBS. I'm not getting in the UND argument cause I don't see a FBS move but the neutral site game isn't as uncommon as you think for small FBS schools

Tough news about Cary. Really thought he could be a good player for us.

Every conference that has expanded usually says they have no interest in adding members. A couple candidates out there. Ill. St and Missouri St have recently stated their interest in the past. This could be their opening.

This ^^^^. The difference between being a 16 seed in the tournament between being a 13 or 14 is big. I know this year was a little bit different than years past for the Big Sky but with going to fewer conference games next season, we have to get some out of conference wins. It was pretty bad this year.

Great season for the ladies. Thank you seniors for showing the leadership to get the program back on track.

Great collection of Sioux fans watching at the bar in Tucson. Not even a planned watch party but I showed up at a local sports bar(which is packed for the Cats game) and there is 37 people wearing UND gear watching the game.

Good luck to the ladies tonight. I'm looking forward to watching.

Thanks for the updates jjensen.

Weber ends up losing to 9 to Arizona. They cooled off after a hot start and couldn't close the gap. Congrats on a good season to Weber. Definately will be a favorite in our conference next season with some of the young talent and experience they have returning.

Holy !@#$, I'm not ready to hang him up. I just feel he needs to execute his plan if he has one. There are plenty of good basketball players out there and I think he's found some. I'm in the minority when I think next years team will be better than this one.

There is no doubt that Jones' seat got a little warmer last night. My biggest concern with Jones' (is actually the same I had with Mussman) is he has created no identity to his basketball program. Tell me what his main recruiting area is? Tell me what his offensive philosophy is? Tell me what his defensive philosophy is? I don't feel that this team created an identity for themselves (besides inconsistent) and that is on the coach. I look at the football team after Bubba took over, one of his first comments he made was we are going to be an attacking defense and a ball control offense. He also identified that he was going to get back to recruiting the upper midwest. Now that your identity is in place, you can recruit to that. It may not be easy to do but at least there is a plan in place. Someone has to tell me if Jones has that.

Solid team basketball on both ends of the floor. Fun game to watch
