If there was going to be a downfall it will be Entz himself. He isn't Bohl or Klieman - a bit rough around the edge, imo. Roehl is a massive dropoff at OC compared to previous OC's they have had (minus Polasek who was a meathead himself).
But any issues will probably take a few years to arise because of the talent level already in place. It's not hard to win games when your roster is better than your opponents, which is recruiting.
I would hope so, they have 8 new faces on the team, which is not an excuse Jones can use since he was the one that mishandled the roster.
There is no reason they shouldn't have won that game last night. It's was a 50/50 game most of the second half.
Then, to tie it at the end somehow their worst 3 point shooter takes the shot. Nice.
When people refer to making it over the hump, to me that means the program has finally made it over the hump. They become a top program in their conference and have sustained success.

Can you imagine how many thousands of clicks that would have generated for their respective site if they had broke it? For some of those guys it would have been huge.
He is one guy. ONE. There were around 12-15 total between Forum, KFGO, FAN, 1100, 1660, KVLY, and KVRR that kept it under wraps. That's a bit much. They all talk to each other at these things.
So how do you explain all of the media members being in on the "strategic protection of a players status"? They don't work for NDSU, correct? But yet not one of them went rogue and tweeted it out....hmmm.
