From what I hear, we need to move on and get used to life without Lauck. Best to her and the great career she had at UND. Houdek needs to step up fill in. Burck, too. Would love to see Dillon get healthy. And the young guards need to keep improving. They are doing well. Can't wait to see what Dyer can do on the court after the New Year.
All that said. Our platoon of players should do fine against AC.
Beat them last year in a close game at the Betty. I think I remember Webb having some late game heroics. They lost their two high-scorers from that game to graduation, but they might have reloaded. UND certainly added talent since that game, but anything can happen on the road.
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.
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.

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.

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.
