You said your self that an NDSU partial should trump a full ride at UND. Why the change of tune all of the sudden?

Unless of course NDSU decides to reduce a kid's scholarship offer once he's committed...

Kool-aid drinker!!

Down to only 9 more years after early March! And looking at his past results and listening to him talk at the luncheon on Friday, I have a hard time believing he won't have Miami fixed real soon.

Looks like the "realists" along with the torch and pitchfork manufacturers were the only ones who were let down last night.

I think Traylor has done the best job so far, being more than adequate but he still need to work on moving his feet more and quit picking up so many fouls. MSU did a good job showing how to beat UND when they go with Nash at the 5. I agree its UND's best line-up on the offensive side, but if the opposing team sets up a half-court offense against them and pounds it down low, UND is going to struggle.

Nash is good on offense against a zone inside but he can't guard the 5 spot on the other end.

So Blasi got a 10 year extension last year and Hak is making him look silly tonight...

Up 11 with 3:37 to go.

UND up by 5 at the half. Had a double digit lead early, Montana made a run and took the lead by a few scores until UND rallied late. Nash had a good first half.

Wrong thread. Only sunshine and rainbows in here.

Yeah but he made adjustments and beat the preseason favorite!

Figure the kool-aid drinkers need a place to congregate after a win like the narcissists or the self declared "realists" have in the Fire Hak thread after a loss. I'm not saying we should, I'm just asking the question...

Let me check my list and see how much that RPI thing matters...

The likely scenario but Indiana State has been hovering around as a bubble team. The Horizon has zero shot of anyone outside of their conference champion making it.

Rick Helling is going to be there tonight? Sweet!

Shouldn't it be something like "in Hak we trsut?" so we know its not an imposter?

I know injuries happen to almost all teams, but he was 1 of 2 guys on the roster I would single out as creating hole that is tough to fill.

I disagree. Most people who were saying he wasn't going to be let go were talking about him being fired during the season. I'm 100% confident regardless of how the rest of the season turns out, Jones will not be let go for on the court performance before next season.

Jones will still be here, so you can drop that part of it. UND loses a lot next year but the cupboard is by no means empty. PG - Tyler/Hooker SG/SF - Antwi/Stefan/Benton PF/C - Calcaterra/Salmonson/Shanks Haven't seen enough of Blake or Hobaugh to know what they can bring to the table. Would think that Crandall will redshirt, might need Cashman to play. Need to replace a lot of scoring but our guard play along with Stefan's shooting will be OK. Watched Tyler play a few times when he was at UMKC, he's going to fill in nicely. Expecting to see at least 1 if not 2 JuCo's though. Probably a slasher and a big.

I couldn't agree more, drives me absolutely bonkers. And its not even from game to game. They play the whole game like they played the majority of the second half last night and they run MSU out of the gym. But they don't.

They played some pretty good defense and showed some serious intensity for about 2/3's of the second half. I don't understand where that was the rest of the game. This team is an enigma. They have the talent to play with anyone and show it for stretches and then they just regress into something that is unrecognizable. I can live with getting beat on the boards, especially when our best line-up is 4 guards and a big, but you can't get continuously beat on the offensive boards like they did last night. Credit to MSU, they made a handful of bailout shots or drew a foul with less than 5 on the shot clock. Both of those are frustrating to see the opposing team do. Be interesting to hear what Jones has to say today. Still standing by my prediction of at least 6 wins in the last 9 games (currently 1-1).

The MVC has a decent chance of getting two teams in. The Horizon will get its autobid and will be seated lower.

Here is the link to the bid page. I can't quite decipher exactly what the actual project will entail in terms how it will look different from what is currently there. The last link looks like it has the submitted bids. Icon at $923K and Daktronics at $945K for the lump sum. They varied on who was lowest on the various Alternative bids.

Love what Nash brings to the table but that was bad decision making on back to back plays.
