If UND doesn't do well this weekend I'm going to have to rethink my commitment to attending the NCHC - really this tournament is for those that need to move up in the Pairwise. Yes it is a great weekend of Sioux socializing but if other teams have to win and there is no need for UND to be concerned about the outcomes, what happens on the ice really hasn't been that entertaining as a Sioux fan the past two years. Add in the poor quality ice, rink doors opening during play, ticket session fiascos... We shall see...

Sorry I can't make it this year I have a conference that day but how about "Welcome Fighting Sioux Fans..deal with it NCAA. Siouxpride.com

Actually it will be nice to see some fans from other schools joining this annual Sioux party.

We are not going to get the calls. We have to take it out of the hands of the refs.

Shanks just plays with a storm cloud over his head.

How do you miss that travel - and announcers are oblivious too.

If you are 7 feet tall and get the ball under the basket why don't you stuff it?

Color commentator is former head coach at Weber State - this should be "fair and balanced".

we are getting pounded on our end and no call - not the same at the other end.

Not on topic but the voice doing the Big Sky Shop Store sounds a lot like Mafia Man.

Yah according to the announcers it was an advantage that UND got to play the play-in game - nothing to do with being outrebounded. Somehow UND was able to get used to the court during their first game and not shoot 25% and get outrebounded by 20+ - just another fluke I guess.

They have a 3 year commitment, attendance will grow every year as fans start to understand the format.

If UND stays out of foul trouble and hits on some early 3s they will have the confidence and talent on the floor to make it competitive. If the Big Sky refs call their usual phantom fouls UND will be in trouble. Either way the play-by-play announcers will be waving purple.

Announcers about to give Idaho props for cutting in on the 29 point half time lead.

Another reason to be in Reno next year ... won't have to listen to the announcers.

Shanks needs to be told to just take up space and rebound we don't need him to try and score - he usually can't anyway.

According to the announcers the reason UND is dominating is because we didn't get a breather - the play-in game was an unfair advantage.

Even if Jones would have finished in same position as Idaho State coach he wouldn't have gotten coach of the year - too many missed handshakes and BSB.

Yes Bengals are shooting bad but also getting out rebounded by a bunch can't blame that on not being comfortable with the court.

It seems all of the announcers have a bias and it's not for UND.

Still not getting the calls though.

18 point lead and Hooker hasn't even turned it on yet.

I kinda agree with the announcers that it is a benefit to play in the first round and get comfortable with the court. This time of year an extra game shouldn't be an issue as far as conditioning.

Female announcer conyinues to say "They are building something in North Dakota" obviously has no clue about the history, tradition and success of women's basketball at UND.

Do they always announcement punishments - for example if there is a cut in scholarship money that is invisible to the public while a suspension from playing is quite visible.
