Nice win in Fargo. Congrats.

Burning clock down in Fargo. Second Half defense looks solid as usual.

Agreed. Absolute domination!

Down go the Griz!!! Heck yeah!

91-76. UND scored 44 to the Ducks' 42 in the 2nd half.

Better effort in the second half. UND actually won the second half.

And then Oregon proceeds to go on a 20-0 run to open up the second half. Must have been one heck of a half-time speech.

Holy cow, at first when I saw your post, I thought it was Gabe Rogers, which would have been a ginormous loss for the Lumberjacks. Russell showed promise, though, and did drop 21 on us in that infamous game at The Betty last year in February. He only scored 7 when we went down to Flagstaff earlier in 2012-2013 season.

Replay just starting on Fox Sports Pacific.

Far better than the BSA; I'm quite familiar with both.

Heard you loved the UND PA guy, too? Kinda how I feel at the BSA; only it's a lot harder to understand what's being said through the garble of the 1973 sound system at the BSA.

Don't worry about public fan support per the tweet below. Kudos to the students for doing their part. Would be great if we could see this kind of fan support all around this season moving forward and beyond. 4m UND Men's Basketball @UNDMBasketball Don't plan on any walk-up tickets being available - less than 20 remain for rivalry clash with NDSU at The Betty at 5 pm #BigSkyMBB ExpandReplyRetweetFavorite

Hardee: "The first of many more."

Did they miss Van der Pflug that much?

Go U. Beat State.

Or they could see who could collect the most petition signatures. Oh crap, scratch that ... we'd get our cans kicked.

If last year's game in Fargo is any indication, it will be a hodgepodge. Last year, it was Eric Curry (Big Sky, Mountain West), John Yorkovich (Summit, MAC), and Jeff Campbell (Summit, Missouri Valley).

Our posts have to catch well in the lane and keep the ball off the floor (high percentage shots with soft touches and play strong off the glass if they miss). FU's quick hands and smothering D forced several turnovers last night right under the hoop against Western Michigan. Offensive rebounds off of misses will be huge for both teams on Sunday. Not enough respect being given to L.A. and Wright on here. They are studs. Felt is streaky, but if he is on, he is deadly from the perimeter. I was impressed with their Brown off the bench, too, last night against WMU. Free throws. Free throws. Free throws. FU is as good as advertised. UND is not as bad as assumed by many down south. They (fans) just don't know it yet.

Definitely not by anyone who's been paying attention.

Brekke would have been helpful, too. Oh well.

Beat the spread!!!!!!!!

Minus the off-the-field issues, please.

My thoughts from last night going into Mad Town: Huff and Anderson just being Huff and Anderson -- solid to exceptional. Hooker made red-shirt decision hard for coaches. He showed last night what I saw in the scrimmage back in October. Kid is going to be a special player. Nash really upped his game since I saw him in the scrimmage. Competition level aside, his athleticism is something that I did not see much of last year in the Big Sky. Webb simply makes things miserable for the opposition with his defense and craftiness under the basket. I still get a ball in my stomach when he's at the line and when he attempts those awkward set shot three pointers. Sometimes those treys go in, though, and often at opportune times. Antwi: solid bench minutes guy. Got to step it up against better teams, though. Post play: I don't know about lumping Salmonson in with Calcaterra's mediocre to horrible play. Ryan, I think, didn't show his best last night. He's got a bigger upside than anyone else at the 5 spot (assuming Brekke is done). As for #33, I'm trying to weigh in my mind if he is about where Wilmer was ability-wise as a junior. Jury is still out for me on "Calc" and whether he'll improve with time. Benton: I think this will be his break out year off the bench. Hobaugh is a maniac on defense and appears to be able to shoot the rock from long range. Blake Thomas has a lot of heart and works is butt off when he comes off the end of the bench. With Brekke's status bleak to unknown, it's a bit of a consolation to know that we did not show everything last night, namely we still have Traylor at the 4/5 to factor into our season as well as another proven guard in Schuler. Both have shown flashes of brilliant play. Tyler: Wait until next year. Stefan: Most likely wait until next year.

As I recall, he got some time at point. I don't think he struggled to badly. Two things stood out to me about Hooker: (1) At 6-0, the kid has hops. He attempted a dunk and missed -- but not by much. He got over the rim. (2) He has a real knack for the assist and is clever with his dishes -- not reckless. Also, the walk-ons surprisingly were not liabilities during their time on the court, especially Hobaugh. ( I think he was a walk-on transfer out of Houston Baptist.)
