Good to know!!

Do you like not winning in November and December during OOC play? NDSU can beat Wisconsin and Notre Dame but we can't beat Cal Poly and Texas Pan American. It's getting old, and if all he can get us to is the CIT then it's time for a change.

So he can go zero for November/December (OOC)but if he finishes third and barely gets into the CIT he should get another year?

I have made a thread of 2 coaches being fired Muss and Jones. I have stated my reasons for them being canned. You still think the football team should be coached by Muss? And how much more time should Jones have being average?

Not a fan of Jones? Why?

Are you really shocked someone else besides me sees Jones as a negative? There are more people than you think.

Who is comparing us to KU and Duke? I said we should reload like KU and Duke not rebuild like the football team. How about reloading like Weber St, better?

^^^^^^this!!!

A win is a win and a loss is a loss, at least that's what I, and everyone who follows sports care about. The women are winning and the men aren't, it's that simple.

National would be great but I think it's a great start for a team in its third year post transition. Being in the same poll as a local powerhouse as SDSU is great.

They won on the road, they are ranked, and have done something the men's team hasn't done since DII....beat Omaha.

UND lost 95% of its scoring production yet managed only a 17-17 record. Now you have very young kids, what makes anyone think with time UND will overcome its average persona and win 20 games, get into the dance/NIT and (here's the big one) WIN AN OOC ROAD GAME!!! Are we going to go through the merry-go-round every 4 years?

I am giving examples of teams that reload not rebuild. Rebuilding means the cupboard is empty and you need to start over (see UND football), reload means you still have weapons and continue to stay ahead of everyone (see UND women's basketball).

So we are comparing Jones who has been at UND since DII and using his players to Bubba his first year of coaching using a former coach's players.

Shouldn't a team reload not rebuild? Kansas reloads, Duke reloads, who rebuilds but a struggling team on a decline. Our football team is rebuilding, our women's basketball team is reloading. If Jones has to rebuild every 4 years then he isn't recruiting the right players. Also considering the facility, the weather and quantity of in state D1 talent and a D1 BB team, NDSU went to the dance its first season of being eligible. I guess that leaves pay and oh yeah coaching!!

Chris Mussman went 31-34 in 6 seasons, should he have been given a couple more years? Jones is 35-38 since transition ended and 95-102 overall in DI. If you want to look at an average coach, Jones is the man. Both seasons UND has finished 12-8 in the BSC, but in 2012-13 only 2 teams finished over .500 overall, the next year only 4 teams were over .500. The BSC is a below average conference. Last year the BSC was 25th out of 33 conferences (with the 33rd being Independents) in RPI rating (according to RealTimeRPI.com) 28th the year before that. In comparison the SL was 17th and 19th in those years. The BSC hasn't been in the top 20 since the 2009-2010 season (18th) Weber State won the conference at 14-4, but 18-10 overall; both Montana, and UNC won over 20 games. The BSC is on a decline so seeing UND towards the top isn't a shock when our league is down, if you want to see how good we are look at the overall record.

USD has 2 OOC DI wins (non-tournament) this season alone, and won at Texas State last year, its been almost 3 years since UND has beaten a road team (OOC) on their court.

Mountain West!!!!

I actually had a co-worker who told me she although sad he died hopes this will kill the FM diversion, very sad when people think that way.

Hopefully his followers were taking notes on flood flighting.

Fargo mayor Dennis Walaker has died at age 73. I didn't want to start another thread so I put this here.

No one said anything about winning 20 games and a berth in the NCAA/NIT every year....one year would be good.

With their hands up it should be easy for them to hail a cab.

Who are coach 2 and 3?

If there was OT in 1983 would Miami have beaten NU? No way they would have gone for 2 if there was an OT.
