Well maybe except free throw shooting. That remains a negative.

First home game and they look to be pressing to impress. That is understandable. I'm not going to take much from this game, positive or negative.

STATS ALERT!! I think the biggest difference from last year to this year is Merseli. She was on fire in November last year, hitting .233 with 4 kills per set, much better than she had been doing before that. So they went to her more often, over 12 attacks per set when she normally got about 10. And having that weapon from the back had to have made things open up for the front row hitters. This November, her numbers are pretty much what they have been all year, hitting about .170 with 2.8 kills per set. FWIW, over the last 2 sets yesterday, Tamara had 8 kills with 2 errors on roughly 25 total attacks. Hope it continues.

It's possible. UND Homecoming 2018 has already been announced as Sept 22. And I doubt they would have Potato Bowl against MVSU, which is a Thursday night game.

It does not. The Alerus bonds are scheduled to be paid off in 2029.

Does the 3/4 cent tax for the Alerus Center have an automatic sunset?

Ugh, how do you embed a tweet on here? Anyway, Athletics press conference at 10:30

Anyone know why Vail is not playing?

If you're on the fence about a jersey - I got a white USA and was very impressed.

If Jones completes all 4 years of this deal, it will mark 51 years of UND basketball under 3 head coaches. (If my math is right - Gunther started in the 70-71 season I believe).

Me. They have talent, experience and depth at every spot on the court.

I hope so. He's a SiouxSports treasure.

From the Chad Johnson thread. Chad graduated from Roosevelt in 1982.

Nice start by Twins bullpen - 10 innings, 0 runs, 5 hits. 6 different guys have pitched at least an inning. I don't understand Molitor w/ Buxton. The guy was doing so much better at the end of last year batting at the bottom of the order.

I put this news in the recruiting thread also. Didn't see your post. She was a very good HS basketball player although I don't think quite at the level of Freije or Klabo. A very good interior defender: strong, athletic and good jumper - a natural shot blocker. Under Pryor though, her athleticism has skyrocketed. Depending on how rusty she is, she may not be able to bring her offensive skills up to D-I level. But I think she will be a beast under the opponent's basket.

Since she did not redshirt as a freshman, I was wondering if Dooley might do this. Dooley to play BB after VB season over She was a very good interior defender in high school.

Is this the part of the thread where we compare W-2s? Asking for a friend.

I thought women's hockey was specifically off the table when the IAC met last fall. Am I mistaken? Edit - Found this article There, it is reported Kennedy told the IAC that UND was committed to sponsoring women's hockey. So it would be reasonable if Idalski and staff would continue to think that.

At least 90% of tickets at the Ralph are season tickets. $420 each (less for staff and students) for 16/17.

UND is handling this exactly how they should. When you are on the defensive, you answer the questions that are asked, you don't volunteer info. You don't "get in front of things". Exactly. Explaining doesn't convert the aggrieved. We need to cut sports. These are the sports we cut. We are very sorry for those affected. Thank you.

I bet I've attended over 300 events in the Ralph, from hockey to concerts to the f'n circus. And if you asked for my top 5, one would be a basketball game. IMHO, the possibility is there.

Women's hockey, Men's and Women's tennis are dropped. Big cut to Men's hockey budget. That's my guess.

Haha! Perhaps, but with no fanfare men's bb showed how slick the new font and logo can look on a uni.

Has hockey embraced the new name? No. Does the team go a bit over the top on the Sioux thing? Yes. Does it hurt anything? No. BTW, Men's BB is the only team that fully adopted the new logo and lettering on its uniforms. But Jones never gets mentioned as a Fighting Hawks trailblazer. Why is that?
