UND's powerplay was 1/2. UM powerplay was 2/7. I am not sure what you are arguing. Is your point, if UND can not score on a 5 min major that they should get the opportunity again even if UM commits a penalty.

I think people are noting that the whistles went one way after the 5 min major and during the last 4 periods (3rd, OT1, OT2 and OT3) of hockey 4 penalties against UND and 0 against UM. I live in the cities and listened to part of the game broadcast and a couple of times it was stated "Good No Call - you can make that call in OT". But, yet a PP goal decides the game. I think that is the part that most people are discussing. Unfortunately, a great game was decided by a greasy PP goal in the 3rd OT. Plus, I think any penalty is exponentially more difficult to kill the deeper you go into the game. So, a penalty that is 5 min major that is negated by a make up call and split between periods in the 2nd/3rd is nothing compared to a penalty called in the 6th period. I did not see the call in question and I am sure it was a penalty. Great game by all involved, best of luck to your girls program.

I understand what you are saying but it is part of the process to establishing the basketball programs at the next level. I am very happy to see UND continuing to play. I hope that this type of tournament better prepares the team for the Big Sky tournament next year. UND had a great opportunity to beat Weber St this year. It came down to some bad possessions and decisions within the last 1:30 of the game. Taking a poor shot from the top of the key versus taking it the rim with 6 seconds on the shot clock, not providing enough spacing to allow a quick double team and steal. Not taking the open shot and then not rotating the ball to the top of the key and trapping the offense on the wing. All plays that the team gets to review and work on. Hopefully taking the next step this year in the CIT or winning the Big Sky next year and going to the NCAAs. Here is an interesting article with Oakland's coach Kampe talking about his approach to scheduling and it's role in developing the Oakland program. http://collegeinside...hree-prong-fork

I like the draw of UND playing UNI. Let's see if the team continues to improve. Beating nonconference teams within the top 100 is the next step for this program.

First off - I would like to thank the sports information group. We can be a very demanding fanbase. But, I think that the SID may cause some confusion when he posts during the hockey games. Fans may think that they are suppose to follow him for game updates versus UNDMHockey. If people get in the habit of following him versus UNDMHockey. They don't realize that the other accounts are available. I find myself following individuals more than the generic sports accounts. Not sure why.. NOTE: I do have the football, basketball and hockey accounts.

I would love to see UND host a CIT game - here is one guys thoughts on bracketology. No UND in his picks. http://www.bankrollsports.com/blog/cit-bracketology/

Everyone knows about the NCAA and NIT. But, I did not know much about the two other tournaments. Here is a brief review (NCAA/NIT then - major conf schools go to CBI and mid major conf schools go to CIT: College basketball post season tournaments: NCAA – field of 68 NIT – this tournament has been around since 1938. Participating schools host games and has the final four team play in New York at Madison Square Garden. 32 teams are invited. CBI – College Basketball Invitational – This tournament started in 2008 and includes 16 teams. The teams are not seeded and hosting teams are determined based on bids. The finals are a best 2 of 3 format. Past Champs: 2008 – Tulsa over Bradley 2009 – Oregon State over UTEP 2010 – VCU over Saint Louis 2011 – Oregon over Creighton 2012 – Pittsburgh over Washington St. Past Champs: 2009 - Old Dominion over James Madison 2010 – Missouri St over Pacific 2011 - Santa Clara over E. Ten St. NOTE: UND lost in 1st round. 2012 – Mercer over Utah St. NOTE: UND lost in 1st round.

This is a fast pace game... wow.. Huff with a floater...

Nice ball movement - getting the bigs in foul trouble - Brekke - banked in a FT

anderson backdown cut - foul going to the line..

Schuler for two - UND 11 Weber 10

Wow - Weber has some shooters...

no kidding.... about 20 secs behind.. sioux sports is closer..

well, the offense is playing well - Wilmer two big dunks already..

Well, I have the game going but no sound.. others have sound?

So, what can we expect from the Weber St tonight? Are you guys up tempo or more of a slow the pace and grid? What must UND watch out for?

I am ready for the some ball, I am so ready for this game.. ..

Great game - looking forward to tomorrow's game..

It will be interesting to see how the AD handles the Denver fans. Here is one of the bloggers thoughts. It appears that he has already talked to several people associated with the DU Athletics Department. Overall, he has some interesting information. Some that supports Hammersmith comments above about adding sports. http://milehighmids.tumblr.com/ "If true — and the sourcing seems awfully solid — this is an utterly stunning development. When I learned yesterday that Denver was reportedly a front-runner to join the Missouri Valley Conference, I wondered if the MVC would ultimately pick DU, but it never seriously occurred to me that DU would summarily reject the MVC. That seemed, and still seems, absolutely insane."

I saw the MidCo sports is going to have a spring game special for all four schools.

Not sure about the intellectual honesty bit... I was being a bit of a smart ass and I simply took the comparison you provided. The crux of our exchange is that you think connecting flights are fine and I think that they are a pain. Light'n up, I still want to have a beer with you tailgating this fall.

Big Sky TV only... ESPN U has the finals on Saturday night.

I just looked at the map.. WSU to DU - 517 miles WSU to FU - 724 miles Yes, Denver is closer.. http://nsflight.com/Data/DEN.html Plus direct flights from CID, DSM, OMA, SFG, ICT to DIA would cover all teams except (ISU-B, Evensville, ISU-R, SIU) I am sure direct flights from IND, STL, ORD or BNS would be very nice. That is kind of my point. Denver is a direct flight vs FAR (Fargo). I would say the MVC talking to DU also proves my point that the MVC did not think DU was too far outside the MVC footprint. DU staying in SL is great for SL. I do think that the AD for DU will have several people reaching out to her to understand why they choose to stay in SL when DU approached the MVC about membership a couple of years ago.

So, according to Douple and Summit League - the MV has given an offer to Denver and Denver said "No". I can not wait to hear what the MV has to say - given well you know what I am talking about..
