  1. Just in case anyone is interested, former UND star Jerome Beasely was drafted by Miami in the same year as Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, and Dwyane Wade were drafted. Sorry to say, his last ten years have not been as successful as theirs. He was a pleasure to watch at UND and hopefully he can turn things around.

  2. There is a nice looking 6'9" forward that just finished his career at Casper College that looks like he would be a good addition. He is supposedly looking at bigger schools, but as far as I can tell hasn't committed anywhere, yet.

  3. Are there any rumors on who has applied for the defensive coaching position? According to the ad, the closing date was last week and my guess is they will name someone soon. Spring practice starts on Monday.

  4. I'm just curious. How does UND travel on longer trips like this one to Denver. Do they take a bus or do they fly and have a bus take their equipment and be available for use when they get to Denver? Or, do they just take all of the equipment on a flight and hire transportation when they get there?

    Thanks.

  5. Maybe with this team it's better if we shoot after 1 or 2 passes, if we are even close to open. We have pretty good offensive rebounders. It seems the longer we try to hang onto the ball, the more likely we are to turn it over.

  6. Sometimes the lack of assists is due to the player catching the ball not being able to finish. There may have been 10 or more opportunities for assists Thursday night where players either didn't catch the ball or didn't put the ball in the hole.

  7. All I am saying and have said is these players do not know what they should be shooting and not shooting. If you are shooting 16% from 3 for the year I'd say you should not be taking many 3's. This goes for Allard as well, I cringe everytime Allard shoots a 3 since he is about a career 20% shooter. I like Webb but his outside shot is just not there at this point. As far as your comments on Schuler I would take an entire team like him cause he understands the team concept and his only fault is that he is too unselfish. Yes, he made a couple of bad passes last night which is very unusual for him. He should definately shoot more but if you watch the games he hardly gets a pass when he is open and after watching him wave his arms when he was open last night and still did not receive the pass I think he is invisible out there to the other guards, they always drive away from him and look for other players. He should get a minimum of 10 shots a game but it's not his fault he needs the ball to shoot. I agree, we are definatley hurting with Brekke's absence cause there is very little threat on the inside. We just can't guard the other teams bigs and when Montana went to the zone they pushed the zone so far out and was not concerned with Wilmer, Archer or Allard. These individuals needs to win the next 3 games at home or they are in such a deep hole I don't see the tournament in sight.

    I agree with you on Schuler, he has a good understanding of the game and he is too unselfish. He needs to be ready to shoot when he catches the ball. He had a great pull up jumper that he rarely uses anymore - last night he went up and then passed it backwards for a turnover. If he is not going to look for a shot more often, I would would play Antwi and tell him to look to score more. I agree the lack of scoring from bigs is a huge problem, but that it looks like that is not going to change much in the near future, so you have to go with what you have.

  8. Does anyone have any updates on what our roster might look like for the Bowling Green game on Friday? Is Brekke going to be able to play. What about the status of Traylor? Is there any good news about Nash? Is there a chance that they might pull the red-shirt on Salmonson?

    It would be nice to get this win at home.

  9. Where is this big advertising campaign for UND football we were promised? I haven't seen or heard anything on any radio or television. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about this.

    I was wondering the same thing? You would have thought it would have started before the individual games went on sale.

  10. You do realize that UND didn't have any power to decide. They are a tenant, not the owners of the facility. They had input, but the decision was made by the Alerus Center Commission, the body that runs the facility. The difference at USD is that they own their facility. They can do what they want. Since the Alerus Center is a multi-use facility owned by the city of Grand Forks, it isn't going to be as specifically UND as a facility like the Dakotadome.

    I do seem to remember that UND added a considerable amount of money to upgrade the turf that was installed. They may have a had more input into the "look" of the field because of the contribution.
