From what I could tell, it looked like we were having trouble breaking a zone defense toward the end of the season. We need to run the fast break and attack the basket like we have so the other team doesn't have a chance to setup their zone. Once the zone is set up we need to shoot the 3's a with a little better consistency. We have been a little sloppy with the basketball. Avants hasn't been the Avants we know and love. We do need our bigs to step up. That all said, we do have very talented guards who are capable of winning games. Our guards are nearly unstoppable. I agree that there are about 6-7 teams that could win this thing. Go Hawks!

What qualities did Grady have that made him such a great OL? With all of the returning OL and what we have heard about the redshirt freshmen I thought our OL would be a strength going into the season.

Are our OL big enough?, strong enough?, old enough?, fast enough?, quick enough?, experienced enough?, smart enough?, don't have the technique down - how long does this take to learn?, don't understand who to block? I am trying to understand if we have the right people and they will grow into being able to contribute or we need others to come in (this year, next year, the year after). Seems like we have big strong men. Do we have enough good OL on the roster to succeed this year and next? Everyone seems to say we don't. If we don't what needs to improve with them and how long does it take?

I didn't know where to put this. I wanted to say how fun this year has been. Some folks have identified the five sports that are followed most closely by UND fans: Both basketballs, volleyball, football and men's hockey. I am optimistic, when all is done, that all five will have made the national playoffs. Many ups and downs but for Pete's sake - it doesn't get much better than this. That said, I think everyone will agree that next year we will be better with most if not all of these teams. Just a good time to be an UND fan - yes - an UND Fighting Hawk fan! I appreciate this site and thank all that contribute.

I'll start out by admitting I don't know or understand. Seems like we have all sorts of Offensive Linemen. Maybe someone would be willing to explain to those of us (maybe just me) that don't understand what makes a great OL. We seem to have all sorts of size. Are some not strong enough, not experienced enough to understand the offense, not fast or quick enough?? Sorry for the elementary questions - been meaning to ask for a long time.

Aren't we still waiting for a transfer or two??

UND up 37-29 half

Six minutes left in 2nd qtr ND 24 NC 18

End of 1st qtr ND 17 NC 16

Big game today. Best of luck to our lady's!

I also want to thank SWSiouxMN for your previews. I do read and appreciate them! It is time the Men's bb team continues to step forward. We should be expected to win this game by 10-15. Step on the gas at the start and not let up. Leave no doubt. Are we contenders or pretenders.

We lost a couple games last year that we probably should have won. We won more than a couple of games that required comebacks and a little luck. I like to think we will be a better team next year but wonder if that leads to more wins. There are quite a few things that have to go right. I think we now are developing a "winning" culture. Are we at a point where this will carry us through some of the tough situations we will run into next year and lead us to avoid losses? Will be fun to watch!

I am out of the loop - thank God for that. I am curious though about why so many here seem to dislike our SID? Does anybody know him personally or do people not like the job he does? Honest question - no dog in the hunt. Just looked up Jayson's job title: Asst. A.D. (MHKY, XC, T&F) - So he isn't our SID?

I assume Jayson works for someone and is doing what that someone wants him to do.

Come on somebody - I need a 2017 UND football information fix. Does anyone have any relevant or irrelevant information to talk about. Doesn't need to be true. Anybody??

Personally I won't be putting down the destinations we play now and will play in the future. Not like GF is a big tourist attraction.

Nope - didn't know that. What else is in there?

Might have to take a trip into South Dakota for that game. Other than Fargo, I have never been to an away UND football game. The MVFC will give us lots of opportunities.

I bought a couple season football tickets today. First time ever! Just off the 40 yard line in section 215.

Concerning OL Jeremy Jenkins Anybody have any insights to him. Sounds like a great late get. Did he flip from somewhere else? What makes such a big kid available at such a late date?

Now what do I do for the next seven months??

Sounds like a pretty sorry state of affairs. I feel for the University employees and students that are affected by this. Does no good to drag it out.

I hear ya. Didn't we expect to get another 4-6 recruits? Seems like we lost out on a number in the last week.

I agree. This is ridiculous. Do it get it over with. Don't have another committee and hearing and make coaches and players beg. All credibility in Kennedy is out the window. My gosh. I am embarrassed. This is beyond unbelievable.

Wondering about how recruiting goes. I imagine there was a time that we had to "settle" on a recruit because we ran out of time and couldn't get those we really wanted. Hopefully, we are past that now but I don't know. Can anyone chime in as to if we still offer because we need a body. Are there any in this recruiting class that we are just settling on or do they all have the potential to succeed? Not looking for names but just overall. Hopefully this doesn't offend - like I said - just wondering?
