I guess if you want to play that way, then the games "REALLY" don't matter until the first round of the playoffs - when UND will be in a six-game-long must-win situation.
Congrats to the Glen Ullin - Hebron Bearcats girls BB team on advancing to the ND state tournament!
Still a shame that these small-town school nicknames are gone. The Glen Ullin Rattlers and Hebron Brickmakers had two of the best in the state.
@GFG Yep, the effect of losses to teams ranked 40 amd below is a nuclear bomb to NCAA tournament hopes. I had hoped that MSU would get a few more wins after that UND series - instead, they went on a double-digit losing streak!
