  1. It will most likely be right around 9,000. Probably a little bit more attended than last year's home opener, but I think with the opponent and it being on a Thursday night, it won't be much more than that. Hopefully the team puts on a little bit of a show and attendance will top 10,000 the following week against Portland State.

  2. 9-17 at the line for UND, 21-27 for Drake. Free throw work in the offseason boys!

    Overall, good season for UND, they came on strong at the end. If they can be a little more consistent on the road next year, they could be a factor in the Big Sky!

  3. Which goes to my earlier point, the 'SU fans seem to get it when it comes to understanding the sanctions' effects on UND. Their comments and motivations in voting "Yes" should really give thinking moniker supporters pause.

    They (moniker supporters) are as blind to why they are getting support from NDSU folks as they are to true motives of Al Carlson/Rob Port. They are being played like pawns and either don't know or don't care.

  4. Third group:

    People who believe that a vote to keep the name will force the leadership (UND Admin, SBOHE, governor and US senators) of North Dakota to "actually" get on board, get creative and get assertive in all forums and mannors to put the appropriate SH*T in the face off the NCAA until they puke up their conceit and relent their irrational oppressive position on the matter. It will happen if we have resolve and don't give up. And it will happen before we would ever be kicked out of the Big Sky, which is the only real "long term" harmfull happening that is threatening UND athletics.

    Don't give in to fear! Don't give up!! The fight is just starting..

    Or just say our game, our rules. Play by the ones you've agreed to or leave. It is beyond me why you and others think that the NCAA is all of the sudden just going to change their mind? They are a private organization. The members make the rules and UND is in the minority.

  5. according to sagarin

    158 North Dakota State = 73.75 16 13 70.75( 238) 0 0 | 0 0 | 72.64 171 | 73.92 153

    265 North Dakota = 66.31 13 14 67.59( 326) 0 2 | 0 2 | 67.34 253 | 65.92 269

    NDSU won more games against better competition, aka the better team and better season. NDSU actually won 4 more games than UND, but for whatever reason the bracketbuster game doesn't show on sagarins calculations.

    one game means jack against an entire season, and you have to be brain dead to think otherwise.

    UND MBB showed alot of improvement this year, and beat two tourney teams, and a decent NDSU team.

    More games against better competition? Yes, UND had a weaker schedule and that is part of the reason why their Sagarin ratings are so low, but:

    UND went 2-3 against teams in the NCAA tournament (SDSU, Montana / SDSU, Kansas, New Mexico).

    If I'm not mistaken NDSU was 0-2 against teams in the NCAA tournament (SDSU x2).

    NDSU was terrible after their loss to UND. The players weren't even around Fargo to practice this week, a couple of them are meeting the rest of the team on the way to Wyoming. No one expected them to get an invite to any kind of tournament, including the players and coaches.
