Just my two pennies. This team (throughout its four years), more than any other I've seen at any level, is a bit of a head case. It has great skill and talent but for whatever reason the slightest bit of adversity rattles it to the point that it can't dig out of holes and close out games in hostile environments. Combine that with just dumb bad luck with injuries and suspensions in recent years (Brekke, Schuler, Huff, Traylor, etc.) and inconsistent foul shooting (one game they knock down 99 percent of their shots the next they can't throw it in the ocean) and you have an even greater up-hill battle. It's like they read their own headlines and message board fodder, both positive and negative, and let that affect their play. The only thing I can boil it down to is that it is all psychological.

He keeps moving the goal post.

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.

mg2009 has been pretty quiet around here since, oh say, late Saturday afternoon.

Thanks.

Deboer, Cornelius Coleman and Michael Furrey submitted applications for HC just before 5 p.m., Tuesday.

Offensive coordinator/Associate HC at Army (West Point) just applied.

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.

Hoffner?

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.
