Anyone else really bummed there is no UND Basketball tonight? Can't wait for Saturday!

Bring back Wade Murphy!!!

Will Moody play next year, or redshirt?

Exactly, if Mismash can't get himself into the first round, we should pretty much drop him.

Probably not, that was pretty amazing. But it would be nice to see the team pass better than they have, and shoot quicker than they have. I feel like that is where you would see Rhett excel. Just get the puck to the net, and let him try to clean up with a few garbage goals. Quick shots were a noticeable difference when this team played in Omaha.

Absolutely! The players seem to be much slower than last season to make the decision to take the shot when they have it. Cost us a goal last weekend, when a cross ice pass gave someone a wide open look at the net. We waited to shoot and gave the goalie time to get over. Boeser has been a little curious this season. Obviously a great talent, and gets a ton of attention on the ice, but he does seem to skate the puck to the top of the circle and let the quick shot go like last season. Not sure if it is all the attention, the lack of "NHL" talent he had last season, wrist injuries, or a combo. But hopefully he starts scoring again and quickly. As for the passes, this has been another very noticeable difference from last season. There seems to be a ton of no look, bouncing passes, that are just chipped away this year. A big lack of crisp tape to tape passes like we saw last year. Almost like players don't know where their line mates will be. Something that I though would have improved over the course of the season, but there still seems to be some continuity issues. Probably won't be seeing the tic-tac-tic-tac-tic-tac-toe type goals this season.

Love how much more "quality" depth this team has developed. Really hope Zimmerman is as solid as described, because having a competent backup makes me so much more comfortable about this team's potential.

The great thing about UND hockey, is even now, when we appear to be in a crazy downward spiral, I still look forward to Friday and Saturday nights. Maybe its the hockey, maybe it is drinking a few beers, maybe its both, maybe it is the break from every day life .... Always look forward to UND hockey though. Downward spiral may not be the right term. This team is actually playing much better as of late, but can not seem to get the win. Total domination with plenty of grade A chances against Western on Saturday. Seems like we keep running into the hot goalies as of late. Just hoping this weekend finally turns a corner. Given our results the past month, I certainly don't expect us to win the next 4, but if we do then I like our chances for the NCAA tourney. Otherwise we may need to have some success in the NCHC playoffs and likely the NCHC tourney.

I'll agree that the past few years have been a lot of fun. Not willing to say the Bison are slipping yet because they "only" made it to the semi-finals, and did not win a 6th straight title. I'll wait until they go 1 and done in the playoffs or miss them completely before I start talking about program regression.

Anyone who understand this all better than I do, Will the BSC member pretty much be locked into a play in game at this point? If UND were to win out and/or win the conference tourney, is there still a shot to move up to a #15? Does this have a lot to do with surprise teams in other conference winning their auto bids?

Great win!

I miss Drake

$hitty finish guys.

Woah, snipe

This has been one of the more exciting games of the year.

Wolanin playing a much better game tonight.

Wasn't Fleck adamant about recruiting in state? Seemed like he had been saying that would be extremely important. Maybe not so much though?

I prefer 7:30, but only because that is bedtime for my kids, meaning I can actually relax and watch the whole game. haha

Wasn't that mostly because the programs were garbage and not contributing much to the conference? Doubt that becomes the case with UND hockey.

great preview

So, it was a year ago this weekend that UND almost swept #12 USC.

I've said it before, I'm no great basketball mind, but that refs were just terrible last night. I was glad to see Jones get the T and let them know how bad they were. Solid win by UND. Can't wait for Saturday night. I'll be watching on my tablet while the hockey game rolling as well. This team is a lot of fun to watch. So much potential here in the late part of the season.

Read that Shloss picked a UND sweep, then had to scroll back to the top to confirm it was actually Schloss's article. Love the pick, and totally jacked for this team to start their run tonight.

Anyone else see the HeroSports link? http://herosports.com/news/fcs-players-2018-nfl-draft-targets?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Link&utm_campaign=FCS

Not saying UND will be replacing their logo, but I think it is fairly obvious UND will need to expand beyond a single logo at some point. Just as most schools do. Not saying it will be this one, but the school will absolutely need additional logos and merchandise. Personally, I think it would be smart to give another option or two (sooner than later) to get more people to buy into the new name. I don't particularly love the name or the logo, but accept them both. The name will not change, but the school can come out with multiple logos. I'd like to see some with a little more creativity. I've intended to buy some Hawks gear, but have not yet. Just haven't see anything worth buying yet. If this guy thinks that he has a shot to sell his product to the school, then marketing it and selling it is the best way to do that. Show someone proven sales number, and you will get their attention. I agree, he could also shop it around to other teams/clubs; though I'm not sure if he is doing that or not. Seems to be a pretty small business right now. Regardless, my whole point was props to the kid for getting out there and trying.
