UND1983

UND fans weren't begging, pleading and speculating about getting a MVC invite. This has nothing to do with UND.

Makes a person wonder who far down the list NDSU actually was? Other than BV and the Bison Media Blog, nobody even had NDSU on their list of potential replacements, How embarrassing for NDSU fans.

No they shouldnt. He wins national championships. Those coaches dont get fired.

Big win for Weber on the road.

Didnt Buning hire Jones? Faison gave Muss an extension, which is still up for debate. Faison hasnt made a big program hire yet but his others look alright.

Faisons hires have looked pretty good so far. Some are still too new to judge but Hardee was an unbelievable hire.

Gleason has had roughly 5 negatives in row. No positives.

Joe Gleason cannot get the puck out of the zone. Man he sucks.

Looks like they got a pep talk...great job.

Ran into a "hot" goalie for the 7th year in a row. Talk about bad luck. I dont care if they still win, their is no excuse for losing to frickin Niagara through 2 periods of play. Embarassing

Canisius just hung 5 on these clowns.

Another solid NCAA tourney effort from UND.

Bjugstad looks pretty lethargic to me. Not doing much.

Looks like another Top 16 finish in the country. Maybe Top 8 if they really play well. Getting pretty old for a Top 3 overall program with zero excuses.

Want to know more about how the CBI went about their selection process and conduct their tournament? Follow this guy: https://twitter.com/LonelyTailgater

Go look at who made the NIT and who didn't. NDSU was not getting in. They took big name programs from big name conferences. RPI rankings obviously meant nothing to the selection committee.

I will agree with you on that. You can care about whatever you want to. Also, he was constantly complaining for two days straight. On KVLY, in the Forum, on 740am. In a two day span, I would call that pretty constant. And don't forget, he was campaigning for a few days before the announcement. He spent a hell of a lot of time on the subject. That color-coded scroll probably took a half-day itself to compile and analyze.

I am glad you cleared up the KVLY piece, that makes more sense that he was talking about the championship game. So you completely ignore all his pathetic bitching and belly aching for DAYS about not getting in the NIT and focus on the smallest point in the whole thread. Cool. I liked the color coded scroll he pulled out for the media, showing teams that are rated below them in the RPI- that is the sign of a mature, classy coach.

Dumb question-do any youth teams practice outdoors ever? When its 20-30 degrees, do any go outside or are practices 100% indoors?

Yah, Saul seems really excited about being in the CBI. Check the RPI's before you post this garbage, both tournaments have teams with low RPI's and high RPI's. Better yet, ask Saul. He knows all the team's RPI's by heart.

Saul took his complaining to a new low last night on KVLY. He resorted to pulling out a 3 foot long piece of paper with every team highlighted as to which tournament they went to, sorted by RPI. He then proceeded to say he "may never get over it, even when he is 80 years old". He may never get over not making the freakin NIT?!? Somebody needs to reign in this clown and tell him to grow up. He has gone beyond the point of pathetic in this situation. Also, Saul, if you look into it the RPI did not mean a damn thing when it came to NIT, CBI, or CIT. There were better teams than NDSU that got left out of the NIT also.

Didnt they see baby Saul crying in the post-game press conference after his team of juniors didnt win the tourney? Then go on to try and convince everyone how great his team is and how its NIT worthy? If the NIT saw that classy display, they are in!

Coach K just won his 4th in 2010 and has won at least one NC in 3 different decades. Nice comparison. The difference is he has actually won one. When Coach K has one of the best rosters in the country, he has shown he can win it.

The other guy shut them out last night. And Brittain gives up yet another. 4-1
