Sioux look good sharing the basketball....5-4 A&M 4 minutes in...

Tonite the boys are playing the "Big" boys on TV...Direct TV #676 at 7 pm.... Go Sioux !

I will just throw this out there on Clock management, what they practice in practice and what happens in the Game, I believe to be different....I would ask you to ask yourselfs this question....? If Peyton Manning were the QB, would we be having this disscussion....? TJ looks incapable of making reads and normal QB decisions, he certainly is not any good in the 2 minute situation. This does however fall on the Head Coach's shoulders, he needs to put a QB in that can get it done.

I really find it laughable in today's Sports Arenas around the Country, that it is the sentiment of most fans to get rid of the Coach. Every message board I read is Fire this guy and Fire that guy... Coaches, Coach and Players, Play.... When do we ever hold the Athletes accountable for poor execution on the Coaches game plan....? In Teams Sports I believe those are the two most important parts, that need to work together and be on the same page. Then you can add in all the intangleanles, like injuries, the other team, officiating, luck, ect.....the margin between Winning and Losing is ever so Slim. Anyway, I must have missed all the "Cut Terrell Owens" threads down in Dallas, because they missed the playoffs.....?

That was as frustrating as well as entertaining Basketball I have seen in a while..... The 1st half for whatever reason (there were many) the Sioux could not get the ball past half court, I did think the refs let a little too much contact on the chest bumping off the oppents dribble (advantage Minot State) 2nd half was very simaler, til about the 10 minute mark, and the the Sioux seemed to get a little bit tougher, stronger, and play with more energy. Never should have gone to OT, but we took care of bussiness and came away with the win in overtime. I hope Texas A&M and Minot State College do not particapate in a film exchange program, because if A&M presses us, we could be in for a longer the LONG type night... A Win is a Win, you never throw one back.....Go Sioux

Winning Helps, Yes ....The Women were like 93-9 (53-5 at Home) since the Betty opened.......? and we still have about the half the attendance we had in Hyslop. I believe marketing is part of the problem, the Athletic Administration as not committed the resources to any sport at UND as much as it does to Hockey, or the Alumin spends on trying to save a logo.....? UND has been talking about Marketing since the 90's when Cal Davis brought 100 band members and students on a bus trip for a game at UND......and we have not succeeded yet. But I also believe in the 5-6,000 attendance days we also had teams with a more local flavor. The Men's team with Jacobson, Gardner, McAndrews, Vonesh, Boushee, Wilkie, Gulseth, Robertson were all N.D. guys, and these were the days when the Men out drew the Women. When the women started to have some success with National Title runs is when the Women started to over take the Men in attendance figures. These days may be gone forever, because I do not see either of those in the near future, A group of local talent that good, and National Championship runs....

Ha Ha...I agree....I have sat in Hyslop on a HARD Wooden 8" Board of a Seat, Maybe the most uncomfortable ever, along with 5,000 other rapids fans....WE can not get 1/2 that for the Betty.. Hammer, I do not buy the weather excuse, you may lose a few out of towners, but where are the students, and local support...? and buy the way the only seat more uncomfortable than the Old Hyslop was the BSA...I think there boards where only 7", but would get over 6,000 fans....? Shawn, I would be nervous right now if UND played NDSU, that either school would sell-out, just do not see it happening (Sell-Out), maybe after we get some energy back into the rivalry....?

Boy I wish I knew what happened to Attendance firgures for both programs....? The old Hyslop seemed to be always packed (everyone blame Rich - Here, not his fault) and we did not always win....But at UND since the Betty was built we have yet to pack the place. We used to draw over 5,000 (ok we cheated, so did NDSU, maybe 4,500) fans for a Basketball game, now we can not get 2,500....? SAD And seriously for either program, to have attendance under 1000.....? 1/12 of either Universities enrollment, not to mention surrounding population......SAD

WOW, didn't we play the University of Minnesota at crookston (that is bad)

I agree with this, last night's win vs Lamar and the Northwestern games really show improvement. Tonite they just did not compete for whatever reason....? I feel we are only 1-2 difference makers (Pudez, Richards, Crouse) type players from wining a couple more of this years contests.... But it will be a long road, til we can get into a conference like SDSU...... Anyone notice the Bison only had 855 fans at the last womens home game.....? Hope that never happens to us (I shouldn't talk, I can't go as much as I use to--Hate work)
