Always felt Nash was/is the X factor for this team game in and game out. So talented.

Oh I got it...just want to make sure that all the BB experts, myself not included, understand you (and I) know ZERO on this topic!!

You are probably right... coming from a hockey guy!!

Just throwing this out there...having seen Oak Grove play a few times and BBE yesterday vs PCS IMO BBE would beat Oak Grove by 20+.

Agree. How a shot clock doesn't benefit all involved at games like this a no brainer. In MN they keep the clock running in the second half during blowouts to end the misery but won't institute a shot clock to help with the flow of games?

CC can't score especially playing 5x5. Stay out of the box and I'm w AZ on the predicted final score.

Just under 3900 in the rink last night in Omaha. Yikes!!

Is there a playoff hockey series that starts today? Need a sweep and it starts tonight.

Win this one...then one more to getting a ticket to go dancing.

Focus and especially effort have little or nothing to due with Jones as was posed earlier by someone in this thread on this topic. "I'm not sure what a coach is suppose to do..." Rebounding=effort...period. As does defense in most instances. And motivating players? That's old school coaching. This team's erratic play and their overall record thru out the season so far is strictly on the players............. Least that's what some BB fans say. I'm just a hockey guy so I'll defer to the experts.

Shakopee plays zone all game and won't come out of it even in the OTs. Hopkins says fine we'll hold ball and run the clock down for the last shot in all 4 OTs but then decides enough is a 'nuf and hits a 60 foot raibow to win it as time runs out in the 4th OT. REALLY??? Cue the Hoffarber footage!

Moving on...1 down 2 to go.

Oh...OK?

Hahaha... Yup...coaching has nothing to due with rebounding or effort which are one in the same.

Sea of red. Good job on those!

85-50 final BBE over PCS. BBE pulled plug w 5 minutes to go. PCS played a much better 2nd half. Shot better and BBE not as hot but PCS had 23 TOs and got out rebound 2-1. BBE is extremely good. Their 6'4" PG...smooth. Finished w 33. Good experience for the school and kids.

Park down 47-18 at half. They have just 2 more points than TOs at half. Park shooting probably 33% at best. BBE is shooting 80+% from floor. Unreal. Saw #2 Battle Lake play PCS. BBE is head and shoulders about BL. Huge gap between #1 and #2.

Agree with your four...including Vonesh. Gulseth IMO was best player I have seen in a UND jersey.

In other related local scores EGF got beat in OT last night by Esko 57-54

Gameday...early morning Venti and StarTribune at the local Cities/metro Starbucks. My oldest daughter said PCS made up and sold around 600 red t-shirts for today's game. We will be wearing 4 of them at the Barn. GO FALCONS!!!

To point one...I miss spoke. Meant to say ONLY an auto bid conference to get to the dance. 2 and 3 we agree on...but there is a nice write up on SU in the StarTribune today I just read. Hopefully the team will still have a shot at point one after today.

I'll cheer on this MBB team in the BS tournament but now I'll go back to the hockey threads for bincity's sake where pitch forks and hot tar are the norm. Least the bar is set high over there albeit unrealistic!!

2nd place regular season finish in a non-auto bid conference gets you what?? I hope they string it together to get a NCAA spot...it is a possibility I just struggle listening to fellow UND supports rail on SU cause "we beat them" and the Summit sucks and........ 2 dance appearance in last 5-6 years...impressive. Until this program under Jones does something...anything I think we, UND supporters, should drop all stones.

Glad to hear our upper crust BS MBB team that hasn't won a meaningful game or made the dance is worthy of such chest thumping. "BS better than Summit. We beat SU. Blah blah blah........" Goodness is right.

Or a UND FB or MBB apologist........
