Which was also the highest watched show in the only time slot it was measured in? Convenient you left that out.

Correct, took a hard foul, had to come out and someone else shot his free throws. Don't think he played after that. Webb isn't a great shooter from deep but he is shooting about 40% from deep on the year and has a knack for making timely shots. I don't have a huge problem with him taking that shot.

#VoterFraudU Can't make this stuff up: Football players forging petition signatures and fans using automated voting scripts to try to win a contest. The Ethics Department at NDSU sure is doing a stand-up job.

Hey remember that time UND ran that highly touted NDSU team off the floor? Me too.

Shouldn't you be out forging votes in that 6th fan contest or is that over now that your fans got caught breaking the rules? Now I see where the football players get it from...

Close, but don't think his heels touched on the line. I have had the pleasure of seeing the ref who was watching the play right next to Webb in action a handful of times, he has no problem making a controversial call. Even seems to enjoy it occasionally.

Not that it means a whole lot, but am I reading correctly that Rivals has him listed as a 3 star player?

I would guess they at least know who the opponent is, which is better than the fair weather fans from the ag school...

UND Athletics has the video of the shot up. Link

What channel? Midco's HD cable broadcast switched over to the SDSU game. Was recording it and missed the end of the game. Big Sky TV must have been using that feed as well.

Game is on Midco and FCS for those who can't make it.

UND currently favored by 5.5. I predicting they win by 8. Thinking the game will very similar to Thursday's with UND in control got the majority of it.

Good win last night. After partway through the first half, the game never really seemed in doubt, though we continue to have trouble stopping players in the post. Some good passing and team basketball last night, still some lapses on help defense. Not real sure of the 11 man rotation we went with last night, but tough to argue with the results I guess. Was surprised when I looked at rebounds that they only had one more than us (34-33) and we actually had 1 more offensive rebound than they did (10-11). Gave up some bad offensive rebounds, but unforutnately that is to be expected at this point. And Huff's reverse dunk was nuts.

Was someone talking about starting a preposterous statement tournament? If so, you can cancel it. We have a winner.

Must be 10's of dollars coming in on the game, UND now listed as an 8 point favorite.

No inside information and agree that Traylor has shown he contributes all around more than Salmonson has this year, but my guess is that seems Traylor has a tendency to pick up a quick foul or two and also provides a decent spark off the bench. Anyone know if Schuler will be dressed and playing tonight?

1. Weber 2. UNC 3. UM 4.UND 5. Sac St 6. MSU 7. PSU/EWU/NAU however the tie-break works out. See us ending up playing Weber in the semis unless UND can win out and UM loses either to MSU or Sac St and are able to flip that seeding. If UND wins out and UM loses 1 game, UND would have the tie-breaker of UM being 1-1 against UNC vs 2-0. It gets a lot messier if UND loses one and needs UM to lose two.

There is a large rift between the SBoHE and a fairly decent sized faction of legislatures. There will be a measure on the ballot this fall to eliminate the SBoHE and replace it with an appoitned 3 person panel (Commissioners of Higher Education). The measure was put on the ballot through legislative approval. The commissioners are appointed by a majority vote of ND Speaker of the House (currently David Drovdal), Pro Tem of the Senate (Rich Wardner), Cheif Justice of the Supreme Court (Gerald VandeWalle), Superintendent of Public Instruction (Kirsten Baesler) and a representative of an educational interest group selected by 3 of the 4 previously listed. I don't know quite enough about the changes to understand how good or bad it may end up being, but I know the legislature doesn't care for the SBoHE and it leads me to be very cautious on what they are proposing.

The SBoHE was created in 1939 but has gained a lot more control in the last 10-20 years that the legislature would like back.

Predicted they finish the last 9 games of the season at minimum 6-3, currently sitting at 3-2. Has played out roughly how I assumed it would (split MSU/UM at home, split the road trip). Expecting them to go at least 2-1 on the homestand and beat SUU to finish the season. A win tonight makes that 2-1 homestand look a lot easier especially with UNC looming at the end.

He used UND to challenge to SBoHE. The legislature would love to see the SBoHE disbanded and control of higher education given back to them.

This is correct. If UND handles their own business, they will be fine.

Bully!

Not quite, though it would take a collapse by EWU. If it went to tiebreaker #2: EWU (10-6) has a 2 game lead over Sac St, MSU and ISU for 4th place (all 8-8). If one of those three teams passes or ties them, they would have to figure out the tie-breaker to figure out who would be the #4 seed. Of the 8-8 teams, SUU would win the tie-breaker if Sac St or Montana St was used and UND would have it if Idaho State was used. In the case of a tie for 4th, it looks like EWU went 2-0 against Sac St (good for UND), split with MSU and is currently 1-0 against ISU. UNC is technically still able to tie EWU, EWU would need to go 0-3 and UNC would have t go 3-0, which would include beating EWU and SUU. They would have a split on the season, so it would go to a tie-breaker that depends on how the top of the standings shake out.
