    i know that the old memorial site is probably 1a or 1b with the hpc addition but those parking lots north of the fritz pollard are an eyesore...how soon before we see a baseball or softball diamond right there....entering und from downtown that parking is a bad bad first impression right now (especially with everything being done all around campus)

    Fingers crossed for your Mega Millions win tonight;)

    How about we get a 2 for 1 home and home with creighton

    doubt we could get 1 for 1 

    It took a 3 for 1 just for Northern Iowa years ago— and Creighton is at an entirely different level.  If they want to play you, they just give you the cash to come play them in there building.  There is a absolutely no chance of them coming here.  Whether there are connections or not

  3. For those who have said the transfer portal is not happening at the SU’s of the Summit, the answer is that its just taken a little longer, but it is happening. Baylor Scheierman is Creighton Jay today for Coach Mac. Will this give Creighton a boost in their quest for Final Four? It sure does.  SDSU is still a monster, but even the rabbits aren’t immune

  4. Isn’t he Bruns) listed on the 21-22 roster- which he did play on? If he’s listed on the 22-23 roster— then there might be a problem, but since we are a long way off from an official 22-23 roster, I guess I’m not too worried about it yet.

  5. I’m guessing there would be potential for the 2018 Final 4 appearance to be vacated as the time period for that investigation was 16,17&18.  I’m not sure how it would apply here if none of the current players on the roster were gotten through the previous alleged violations (maybe).  If they (governing bodies and investigators) are finally able to adequetely prove thier (KU’s) involvement from that time period, it would affect those teams.  If they continued doing it 3 to 4 years later after the national news coverage, HBO documentaries, the 22 Champions would deserve to be sanctioned- not only for wrong doing but stupidity as the warning shot to stop and that they were being watched came over 4 years ago.

  6. Western Illinois’ Will Carius, went to a D3, then a D2, and has been one of the Summit League’s most formidable scorers in the league the last two seasons.  Quite frankly just evaluating a player from just the previous level they have played has proved to be a futile exercise in recent years. There were 3 players on St Thomas this year that would have been very good Summit League players had they been playing in this league the last 3 years rather than St Thomas.

  7. Some young people live for bing recruited.  They love to hear how great they are.  The Portal allows for many of these individuals to get that recruiting adulation once again. They prefer being recruited rather than playing the sport itself.  

  8. It must be hard to even want to do a roster in the spring, for any institution(s) sports info/communication department.  Because every coaching staff across the country probably isn’t sure who will be back for the fall camp. Add in all the individuals that are most likely working there way back from injury.  It’s got to be a different feel for everyone involved with spring fb-everywhere.  Honestly, just let me know what’s going on in late July and I’ll be fine.

    We can’t guard their bigs so why not putt and Mathew’s out there the same time with T 

    it sure can’t hurt with our record 

    Because neither has the foot speed of Allick— and whomever they would choose to guard at the 4 would drag them up the floor and blow by and dunk it.  Those 2 bigs on the floor at the same time would not be helpful for us-  as they don’t move well enough.  (yet or maybe ever) If you went zone— one would have to be on the bottom outside-  and they wouldn’t be able to get out to a corner.   Respect your opinion, but my opinion is that I don’t see that as an effective option

    Follow-up - I got this on Twitter - I'm not seeing anything about radio coverage. Went to UND Athletics Pages and it shows men and women basketball on KSNR - which I can get through I Heart Radio - but when the teams play at the same time KSNR always has the mens game. Maybe it's posted somewhere out there but you would think UND would want to make it very obvious and easy to find game streams. Today's games are just one hour apart so it will be interesting to see what is on KSNR and how obvious UND makes it to find the women's game on radio.  

    UND WBB .jpg

    Not sure about the website. We’ll be listeing from the Desert today. There could be any number of reasons for this,  but I’m not getting work up about it.  This is what I can tell from doing this for the last decade or so.  If both teams are to be playing at roughly the same time, whichever team is on the road is put on the FM of 100.3 which has Iheart stream which the website & app seem to take from and which ever team was at home has been on 1440 AM.  I think this is the right thing to do as many schools just throw one team often the Women’s for an entire season on some small station and forget about it. However, 1440 does not have a stream- which is a bummer, cause the wife and I like to listen to the Monday through Friday morning show to hear from the coaches etc during the week.  And we can’t do that when we are in AZ.  However, because UND Women’s and Men’s Basketball is also carried by Fargo stations we’ve easily found on theoir streams there.   For example today we will probably start by listening to the Women’s game on 740 The Fan http://player.listenlive.co/28991from Fargo’s stream and either Ihearts 100.3’s or KFGO’s stream for the Men’s game.  Hope this helps.

    I mean, we ARE peaking at the right time... if UND makes it to the tourney, we will have one quite a few games and could legitimately upset a team or two... IF we are good enough to continue our "run" and make the tournament.  Someone mentioned that Levias has been dressed for at least one game recently, is there a chance he gets healthy enough to play?  I believe he can play in up to 4 games an maintain his redshirt.

    I’m not sure that the 4 games applies like it does for college football.  I think they studied it.  Did it pass?
     

    Levias has dressed & warmed up a lot this year.  Including at NDSU.  It they thought he could go I think he would seen game action already.  Plus we’ve had all sorts of players trying to acclimate themselves to Division 1 and Summit play this year, I’m not sure that Levias playing in the remaining games does just that much for the team or for him.  Just hoping he gets healthy, & let’s see what he brings next season

  12. I will say this begrudgingly about NDSU, is that their style of play lends itself to close games and close scores but at the end of the day, they rarely lose those games because they know that’s exactly their formula to winning. It’s been frustratingly effective.   For some reason we seem to have fairly decent idea of how to play with ORU. No idea why.  I’m going to be an outlier an circle that one.  The team has a chance in what has been a miserable year for the most part, so I’ll take the fact that we have at least a chance.

    two words......... hyslop hysteria!!!!!!!!!

    That would be cool, but is there even a court there or  scoreboard  in there anymore?  I haven’t been in that building in a long time.

    This is what makes all of this so bizarre.  They beat 2 good teams in Montana and Troy and ever since that Florida trip, they haven't been the same.  The injuries to Nero and Sueker haven't helped this cause, along with Ethan and Bentiu taking an obvious step back from last year. 

    They don’t have an Ihenacho to draw defenders for open looks

    I agree that an exception could be made when two travel partners are playing one another.  I wouldn't be in favor of a doubleheader (those are brutal if you ask me).  But since the normal schedule dictates Thursday/Saturday games, why not have the women play on Thursday and the men on Saturday or vice versa?

    I realize Christmas falls this Saturday, I'm just talking in general.  Could be Tuesday/Thursday this week for example.

    I completely agree with this take.  And i would completely understand a DH for rivalry week.  I would be more than fine with that.

    Mirror scheduling just seems lazy.  The schedule makers only have to figure out one schedule, really, then they just make it the opposite.  Can't they just mix up the teams?  What's the difference really?  Double headers make a lot of sense to me as well.  When UND has home bison games, I'm sure many people will just sit at home and watch both games on tv, so they don't miss anything, right?  At least with double headers travel costs and logistical planning could be greatly reduced, plus the bonding between the Mens and Womens teams while traveling could be good for moral during long bus trips.

    How are travel costs reduced for doubleheaders? I’m not sure I understand how that would be?  The teams still wouldn’t share a bus- they would still need an airline ticket for each individual for trips that require flights.  The hotel room(s) needs don’t change if the teams are playing Double Headers. Team Meals remain the same responsibility for each.  Maybe I’m missing something. Arena staff still have to work x hours?  I guess I don’t follow here, but I maybe missing something when considering it.


    My family and I go to a lot of basketball and we absolutely loathe double headers.  I didn’t enjoy them when my kids were kids, and my kids certainly don’t enjoy them now that they have kids. Way way too long being at an arena.  So glad they are gone.  Loved the scheduling in the Big Sky.  Glad we can plan for home games every week- men or women.

    Considering how hard it was for REA to find employees this year, did you hear and see how much advertising they used in recruitment this year and how long they had to run those campaigns.  I’m sure they feel fortunate they can get people to to commit to a 3 hour window as opposed to a near 8 hour window for a doubleheader.

    In conversations with the various staffs over the years-the mens programs have indicated they don’t like having only 30 minutes to warm up for their games after a womens game and the wbb staffs have said they dislike Saturday afternoon doubleheaders because they shoot around times to prepare and walk thru- start as early 6am (if you choose to take it). If you’re the visitor.  


    I’m certain the Summit with  UND-NDSU & USD-SDSU, in future years could allow for some flexiblity.  That wouldn’t surprise me.  But it’s only those 4 schools within the league that have significant rivalry games.  I could be mistaken but, ORU & UMKC aren’t chomping at the bit whether there is doublheader, mirrored scheduling- games at the same time whatever.  All these other schools are concerned with, can we get staff, ushers, table crew, security etc… Is it easier for them one way or the other? I honestly don’t know.  I’d be curious to learn.  Our unique rivalry issues- (its unique to us  as opposed to all other schools )except the 4 mentioned above) as it doesnt really matter to the others within the Summit.

    Our playoff chances ended with the meltdown in Springfield, Mo.  From a personnel standpoint, this is likely the best UND team ever and it will finish 5-6 or 6-5.   Lots of introspection needs to be done from Chaves and Bubba all the way down the ladder as to why it did not win the MVFC or at a minimum receive a seed in the playoffs.

    @ Idaho State - good win in a place where UND teams have traditionally gone to lay an egg.

    @Utah State - Danny emptied out the bag of tricks in the first quarter and it was all down hill after that.  Outscored 41-3 over the last 3 quarters.

    Drake - Win against a vastly overmatched team.  5 turnovers in the game.  No Otis.

    NDSU - The biggest game ever held in Grand Forks, one coaching meltdown on a certain 4th down changed the course of the season and probably UND football.

    @USD - uninspired play from team, USD 10 points on their first 2 drives, offense fails to capitalize on punt block and starts the second half with a timeout.

    @SIU - Again defense is lifeless for first 2 drives and spots SIU a 14-0 lead, then scores UND's first points.  Offense comes alive in the last minute of first half to tie the game.  UND blocks SIU first drive punt deep in SIU end, no points.  Have chances at end but use bizarre clock and game management techniques.  No Otis.

    WIU - Beat an overmatched team, still many questionable calls and game management situations(end of half).

    @MSU - Seem to have game in hand on the road 28-17.  Very questionable calls on 3rd and 4th downs combined with defense who seemed to be checked out leads to loss in the last minute of game.

    YSU - UND plays uninspired football and but comes back in 4th qtr to beat a struggling Youngstown team.

    ISU - UND plays great defense and scores a late TD to beat ISU in front of tiny Alerus "crowd".

     

    Aren’t we 5 and 1 all time at Holt Arena-Idaho State? I don’t think that equates to going there and traditionally  laying an egg?

  18. Thought Zavalny was good today. Takeaways  were good.  Ball security will need to continue to be emphasized.  I think the line will have to take a step.  Seeing Tommy eject a little bit was good to see that growth.
