Thoughts on making the trek to Reno for the conference tournaments?

If he could do everything we want him to do - like make shots from inside two feet and rebound - he wouldn't be at UND. There is the possibility he will get better as he is only a sophomore . We don't need him to play like Lew Alchinder but Luke Longley would be great.

No need to derail a positive thread.

Good win - always one game you look back at - that Northern Arizona loss hurts.

Hope that last series doesn't come back to haunt us. The courtside reporter must be a college student?

Law of averages catching up to Shanks

Crowd gives Shanks a hand as he sits - nice kid we need him to play to his strengths.

Shanks showing some confidence.

Sorry I have an Alzheimer's conference that day in St. Paul (no jokes about forgetting it).

There might be a measurable decline in attendance this year - based on the results the last few years and this season being down. We aren't going either after going for the last three years. The irony/reality is this might be the first year that the tournament means anything to UND's seeding spot.

Plenty of tickets and scalpers just depends on how choosy you are about location.

Need at least one post about the EW game - UND once again taking it down to the wire but in control.

Oops - wrong sin city.

Tough balanced league - anyone's to win in Vegas.

Who's your POY - leaving the conference means we will lost votes on awards.

Our bench is coming thought tonight - even Shanks has had moments.

every game offiating is quesionable. I do not remember that in past years.

At least they are bad calls both ways.

giving up offensive rebounds, not hustling to loose balls, 3 point game.

They have some studs this will go down to the wire as usual.

Geez are there any referee crews that don't suck in this conference - terrible call on Avants.

Shanks seems like a good kid but damn he is more of a liability than an asset. Geno sits - he gets too many charging calls.

I know it sounds paranoid but against Northern Arizona they call the flagrant again Gino which changes the game but no call when Quinten gets crushed at the end against Northern Colorado. The quality of officiating in this league is so inconsistent. It seems like they are not improving as the year progresses.

Because of politics - the selection committee is going to put the #6 team from a top tier conference over the #2 in a mid major every time. Their reasoning - strength of schedule and...follow the money.
