Care to elaborate on the difference? Would love to hear the logic on that statement.

Interesting. I guess I'm not familiar with the original talks on seat locations, but know people who worked with the REA the first couple of offseasons on it and that is what was relayed to me.

To go even further with that Hollinger's Player Efficiency Rating on ESPN.com had Huff listed as the 11th most efficient player in the nation before tonight's game (hasn't been updated yet). Take it for what its worth, but Troy gets a bad rap more often than he should.

Will be interesting to see the Tyler/Hooker/Stefan/Antwi combo next year. Think they will surprise some people. The last two have impressed me towards the end of the season. Still need an athletic 3/4 guy though. Nash getting a 6th year would help with a lot of the questions on the offensive end, but thinking its a long shot.

Congrats on 2000 Troy. Came on a nice hustle play.

Not defending our effort, but this reffing is brutal.

There are still a ton of rooms available downtown Minneapolis, including near the Target Center. Difference is, there is a significantly larger amount of hotel rooms in Minneapolis than there are in St. Paul. But agree on rooms in St. Paul. During the Final 5 you had to book them well in advance to be anywhere near the Xcel.

I believe those are the sections that were originally chosen by the students. I also believe there was discussions in the first few offseasons about the student section moving, but the agreement every time was that they stayed where they currently are.

Interesting tidbit for the Bring Back Dean Blais fan club:

MPG on the season: Huff - 29.4 Anderson - 29.3 Webb - 25.1 Nash - 23.3 Schuler - 21.0 Hooker - 17.6 Traylor - 16.6 Stefan 13.8 Calcaterra - 11.9 Antwi - 9.9 Salmonson 9.3 That's a lot of minutes to replace on short notice.

It should also help that UNO also plays a pretty uptempo game, they are top 20 in the nation at just over 80 points per game. While it plays into what they do, playing a small line-up rather than 2 bigs should also helps UND have a better line-up on the court.

I was thinking that as well, but at the rate the Traylor/Calcaterra/Salmonson trio picks up fouls, I think you are playing with fire if you have two of the three in there for an extended period of time. Probably going to see a lot of 4 guard line-up with Antwi/Stefan. Thinking Benton will get some good minutes tonight as well. He's capable of guarding players bigger than him, but 6'8" might be pushing it.

Game is at 7pm tonight. UND currently a 6.5 point underdog on UNO's home court. Not counting out any team that has Huff and Anderson but having a hard time seeing this one fall in UND's favor without 2 of their top 3 defenders and by far their most athletic big man on top of all the traveling they've done. Disappointing that 4 of the 7 seniors will likely be watching in street clothes.

I didn't argue any of the above. Just pointing out that when games were actually played on the court, not on paper, the Big Sky was better on the court twice, the Summit once. The Big Sky was inconsistent this year, that's not a secret and it is why their rankings are where they are. But when they played to the level they were capable of, there were multiple good teams. NDSU better be careful on Thursday, this game might be OU's Super Bowl and apparently NDSU is 0-1 in other team's Super Bowls this year.

So not only does NDSU give twice as many tuition waivers as UND (and more than all other NDUS schools combined), they basically admit everyone (almost 85% of applicants over the last 10 years). ACT and GPA average over the last 10 years are almost identical.

And there it is. BINGO is good folks. Clear your cards for the next game. I'm confused on the logic that all that matters is #ButtRPI and conference rankings, regardless of what happens on the court, yet NDSU fans are convinced they will handle Oklahoma (#26) who play in the Big 12 (#1 conference) and then possibly San Diego State (#15) who play in the Mountain West (#10 conference).

So what you're saying is 3 of the top 7 in the rotation are out...Perfect.

Head to head victories: Big Sky: 2 Summit: 1

Weird how those wins right around the same time frame aren't dismissed the same way though.

The Summit wanted UND. If not, explain why they had a campus visit scheduled and then tried to move it up after the Big Sky's interest became public and Douple realized his ability to string UND along no longer carried any weight. Fact: There has never been an instance where the Summit League has made a campus visit that wasn't followed immediately with a conference invite. Fact: NDSU was turned down by the Big Sky twice and no one wanted NDSU except for the revolving door MidCon.

If the rest of the team does the same, it will be a double digit loss.

Their feed shows a comment with UND. If they made a mistake they corrected it immediately. Our men's team has gotten some accidental pub the past few days as well. It happens.

Tough draw for the ladies. A&M is ranked 15th in the latest polls. They do have 8 losses, but all of them are to top 50 teams.

Looks like UNO's starting line-up is roughly G - Carter, 6'1" G - Patterson, 5'10" G - Simmons, 6'3" / Tyus, 6'1" F - Rostampour, 6'8" C - Karhoff, 6'8" If Nash can't play, will be interesting to see how UND handles two 6'8" guys. They also have another guy (Hagerbaumer) who is 6'7" and averages 20+ minutes a game.
