It is kind of a buzzkill for the weekend. When you are talking 225 bucks for the event, I am thinking if you want a friends trip, pay that money and golf Bandon Dunes or some destination golf course and then, other than some bad golf, you don't have something to drag down your friends trip. Kind of a pessimistic look at things, but I just remember the last few have had that buzzkill that made the trip home less than enjoyable.

What were ticket prices to the Arizona State game at T-Mobile? I do like that they put down which end UND shoots twice at.

The whole day by day philosophy would mean you are continually getting better, stronger, more resilient, which would mean at some point you could win on the road. The last two years we played decent early, then imploded the rest of the year, which is the exact opposite of the day by day mantra. South Dakota seems to be the team that is building like SDSU and looking more the part physically of a program building day by day. We don’t even look like a team that is building and looking the part of a physically dominant team with dependable depth that looks the part as well. I will say that the day by day philosophy is pertinent to the resources we our giving the program to be able to compete, and as far as I know that should put us above South Dakota. Bubba has had ample time to build with the increased resources given to him. With the next phases of the facilities coming on board, it is time to give someone else an earlier start to building the program into something that is going forward rather than staying stagnant and spinning our wheels. If either of them care about the state of the program, Chaves and Bubba need to do the right thing for the sake of the program.

You know that, I know that, but people that aren’t sports minded don’t get that, which is why Chaves gives out contract extensions.

Apparently the guys don’t want to see the griddy enough.

Bubba’s postgame, how proud he is the guys didn’t quit.

It’s almost like Bubba is doing it as a middle finger to the fans. In my eyes Bubba has no legacy at UND, and as such should have no position waiting for him when this debacle finally ends.

Actually, I think we are unlucky to have those games at home while we are having injury issues. I would rather we have the ability to make up ground if we need to later in the season by having those higher ranked teams at home. I share your concerns that we may drop a game or two to those teams we need to be beating. My concern is that we haven't taken advantage of the regionals we host and that if we do drop some of those games we will be behind the eight ball again in that regard. Not getting to regionals is one thing, but then when you do get there not even making a dent is a combination they definitely need to break.

Before the season, I would say that Berg and Zmolek were two of the key guys on the team, and ones we could ill afford to lose for any extended length of time. We seem to have bad luck in losing guys like Sanderson and Pyke at the wrong time. Like I said before, hopefully we can keep our head above water and we get those guys back at the right time to make a run.

That would be fine, but you still need to find the right person. Everyone was so enamored by Hastings, but he hasn't exactly been ripping it up at Wisconsin, even getting some nice recruits. I certainly like Raboin at Augustana, but there is no guarantee that when you get more talent to work with that you are automatically going to succeed. There were many that thought the grass was greener on the other side of Dave Hakstol, now they seem to have brain fog and forget how brutal they were about him during his regime.

At the risk of being overdone --

... and go Dalton Andrew go!

Looks like we might be looking just to keep our heads above water until after Christmas. Need to keep getting contributions from guys like Montgomery, whether that be at defense or forward.

Nice to see Schultz pick it up after having 1 point in his first nine games. He seems to have found his stride.

Makes sense, so start it up again by mentioning it, instead of just letting it be with Sicatoka’s admonishment.
