I could see Jody going back to WDAY. Don’t think he is interested in relocating right now and don’t see a lot of other opportunities in the broadcast world in the area.

NDSU has offered him too. For what it is worth, yes, Richman is hard to play for. But the ones in the portal so far I am okay with. Skunberg had a good run but his time was up. Morgan can go. To be completely honest it was a 50/50 option if it would be a bucket or a turnover every time they forced it into him. He will not be a major contributor at a P5 school if he gets a big NIL offer like is speculated. If Federson, White or Wheeler-Thomas go, I will be more upset.

Is that now 2 8th graders and a 9th grader? Or were the Horace kids a freshman and sophomore?

Maybe have to start a 28-29 recruiting thread.

I see Kacie scored half of the teams points again tonight. Is there anyway they are any better next year after she graduates? Not sure the kids from Horace can enroll that early to help Mail out.

You are kidding right. She didn’t chew out Collins, the ORU coach and Johnston did she?

this is Collins 5th year. The cupboard was bare when he arrived.

Collins has recruited Evan’s (who I hope They can keep) and Draper, but his freshman(Koenen, Krawzinski, Simon and the younger Hamling) all all very good with great length and athletism. Collins has a very good thing going in Fargo right now. And it sounds like he has some more good kids from Minnesota coming in next year. He knows getting kids from MN and ND is the best opportunity for success here.

He does. I have nothing against Mallory, but she does not have the right kids to play in the Summit right now. Other than Kacie, and possibly Pemberton, I am not sure there is a kid that would make the rotation on a top 4 team In the league. Unless she has some top recruits coming in ready to play next year, I think what you saw today may be the norm next year. Honestly, I’m not sure they are a Top 4 college women’s team in the state of ND next year without Kacie. Hurst seems to have some talent, but if she isn’t handling the ball and casting up 3’a she seems very disinterested.

I don’t think he is not well liked by opposing teams or media but maybe I’m wrong. But he can coach, and most players that left didn’t play or went home to Europe. As long as he is at NDSU and Mail is at UND, I think NDSU will dominate this series.

I think you and Jack better go back and look at the play by play of that game. Bernhardt took a timeout with 7 seconds left with the ball leading by 9. The only sub she made was Hoskins out and Hurst in. Hoskins was coming back for another year and it was a mid season game, not senior night anyway. It wasn’t to recognize anyone. If Jack is calling Collins Busch league what did he say about Mallory last year.

I was not able to watch the 2nd half of the men’s game , but was following on ESPN. Saw there was a foul and 2 FT’s by UND and then a bucket right after. Was the flagrant foul a no doubter?

You would have to get the offense quality control guy. I think other position coaches at NDSU make more than 88k.

I would say maybe the best bet for UND is have only Kacie B. Take the shot. They would probably have the best shot at keeping it close if only she were allowed to shoot.

What are you talking about. I thought UND proved they have left NDSU in their dust. That game of total domination proved it is just like the late 90’s early 2000’s. UND is now the dominant program in North Dakota?

Not sure why they played this week. I thought last week was for the National Championship. Storming the field, crying at the press conference. That doesn’t happen after a mid season win. They already accomplished more this season than they ever expected to. The season is a success for UND’s players and most of their fans. They finally beat the mighty Bison.

There is some talent on UND's roster and I really like Danielson. Seems like a good kid and really hard worker, but if he is starting and playing big minutes for a D1 team there may be an overall talent issue.

Translation: in any kind of basketball, if you are reaching, hacking and hand checking all the time expect to pick up some fouls.

I watched the game and the officiating did not favor NDSU. How many FT’s were intentional fouls at the end of the game? At least 12. Kacie was completely bailed out in the 3rd/4th quarter and the drive when she had the ball on her hip. They called a foul and all she did was fall down. There was zero contact. if you are going to play as aggressively as UND’s women play defense, expect to have more fouls than your opponent. They are constantly reaching bumping ball handlers.

Stig is kind of walking a thin line here if he suspends the kid when he got no suspension for his arrest a couple of years ago.

I agree Portland didn’t play well against NDSU but the Bison were also without their best player. Portland would probably beat NDSU most nights even if Nelson was healthy, at least early in this season. But looking at Portland’s past scores this year, they lost to #1 N. Carolina by 7, #12 Michigan State by 1 and beat Villanova, this is a good win for NDSU. The Bison have some really talented true freshmen that need game experience. By March if they make the Summit Tourny, they may be able to make some noise.

I didn’t say what is said on a message board would affect how players or staff approach a game. A poster implied it would and should be a great motivator for next years game. Just pointed out that if that would be a motivator that is a bad sign for a program.

If your team needs something like this to motivate them against a rival and the fact that they have been getting the s#*t kicked out of them by this rival since the switch to D1 isn’t enough to motivate them it says a lot about your staff and players.

Not sure U of M will ever have the guts to can a U of M legend.

Because voters are not paying attention. Not sure why Belquist didn’t make it. It is really just a numbers game, but his should have been good enough. If there wasn’t a full back on the team, Lubtke wouldn’t have made it as a RB because his numbers aren’t great, even though if you were going to pick one TB to be on your team it may be him. There we’re a few voters that posted their votes last year and some, including SDSU’s beat writer Zimmerman did not have Christian Watson on their first team because his numbers weren’t great. They don’t take into account NDSU runs 75% of the time and half the season he had a QB (Patterson) that couldn’t throw the ball. Watson was the best receiver in the conference last year. And Belquist may be the best this year.
