  1. I would like to see us add coaches with more D1 experience. I realize that there are lots of good coaches at other levels, but I think those with D1 experience could add insight to the talent level of athletes that we will need to compete every year at this level.

  2. I went to the game last night and there was a decent crowd - 1800+. The women have looked pretty good during the last homestand.

    I was disappointed that there wasn't more promotion for Roebuck at the game last night. I didn't see any ads in the paper or on TV or hear anything on the radio. Many of his old players were there, but no introductions or at a minimum having the group go out on the floor at halftime to recognize the national championships, the regional and conference championships and the many all conference and All Americans that have been a part of Roebuck's career here. They did ask the players to stand during a time out, but it was hard to see anybody.

    Maybe he or they didn't want anything more.

    Congratulations Coach Roebuck on a great career here at UND. Good luck the rest of the season. I will miss seeing you on the bench.

  3. It appears the primary big kid we are after is Andre Ingram, a 6'7", 235, sophomore at Butler CC in Kansas. He is originally from Mpls. (Transitional). He averages 12.2 points and 7.4 rebounds in conference games. I get the impression that he is more of a "banger" but he was 13 for 13 FG shooting in one game and was 9 for 9 on FTs in another game. Also has offers from Boise St., USD and W IL.

    Looks like the gophers think he is worth a look as well.

  4. One thing that popped in my head before the fatal "timeout" was called is that it probably isn't smart to have a true freshman in-bounding the ball during the final minute of a game where they other team is going for the steal/foul. Clausen or Allard may have been a better option because they are more experienced and also taller so they can see. Just one guys opinion.

    Allard had been doing a good job of getting the ball inbounds against the pressure and the switch was made to Webb as the inbounder. The timeout before the half also allowed UVU to set up for what resulted in a 3 pointer at the end of half.

  5. It will be interesting to see if this game gets played. It sounded like UND was still in Grand Forks as of this morning. The highway has been closed since yesterday and may not open until either late tomorrow or even on Sunday. I don't know if UND will get to Lincoln or not.

    Any word yet on whether UND made the trip?

  6. I'm not sure who needs the game more (and I really don't care), but I really can't objectively argue with the hockey statement.

    I'm not sure that either really need the game, but 10,000 tickets sold for Saturday's basketball game in Fargo might indicate that people like to see the schools compete against each other.

  7. One issue might be the small number of coaches on the staff that have D1 coaching or playing experience. Maybe some of the athletes and schemes that would put us at the top of DII might not make us as competitive in D1.

  8. The dropoff also corresponds to FCS telecasts. Although scheduling the Sioux Falls and the loss took a lot of wind out of the sails.

    Football really only should be scheduled on weekends without men's hockey, unless a near-capacity crowd is a foregone conclusion (Montana, Montana St).

    Weston Dressler and Ryan Chappel were pretty exciting to watch a couple of years back.

  9. I can't speak for the out-of-state recruits but the in-state one's have never shown me to be DI skilled players. The Buck girl from Century, in my opinion, is the best of the lot. She plays physical, scrappy, and gets the game. We haven't had much luck with Century kids in the program but she may be cut from a different cloth.

    You'll notice right now were playing 3 kids over 34 minutes a night on the perimeter. That speaks volumes of where are younger kids are as far as being prepared to play. There won't be anything left of Bergan, Baageson, etc. at the end of the year.

    Any word on the non-signing of the girl from Fargo South?
