A little disappointed with guys like Schuler and Antwii. We'll need them to step up and make some more plays throughout the year if we're going to beat some of the better teams, or if there are injuryies. Hopefully Brekke can get back .... anyone know his status (I haven't followed it closely)? Could still try to get that signature win this year, with Oregon and Butler on the schedule ... Not likely, certainly possible!

To keep that game under 20 against a program like that, on a night the Kaminsky plays like that ... Pretty Impressive

... I know, right?

He can probably fight better ... doesn't take much

Beast Mode

We're definitely outsized, but you can't do much about that. Huff is a Beast, Anderson is playing well, Nash is looking good ... but we need better stuff from the rest of the team. Schuler and Antwi need to do a little more. Lets remember we won't be playing the 15th ranked team in the country all year. Should be a very promising year for this team.

Hak can stick around for years. He could get a little more creative in his schemes, but the guy has had some impressive teams. Once he gets a championship (and it will happen) there will be alot of people changing their positions.

Any word from UND regarding webcast improvements? I was impressed with the webcast initially, but the US-U18 game was so terrible I almost turned it off several times. Skipping, extremely glitchy and blurred images. It was almost like the camera could not keep up when it had to follow plays. Extremely dissappointing to see a product like that after commiting to a full years payment. Hoping to see a big improvement this weekend!

I know NDSU is supposed to be strong this year, but so is UND. My estimation is that when you start getting farther down the list it is all stat based and pretty innaccurate anyway. Plus the Bison have, at least, had some big wins and a tourney appearance in their recent history. This could be a huge year for UND ... alot of talent, plenty of players returning, and some big games to prove themselves. No doubt that if this team plays to its potential it could be a tourney team. Could be the best UND/NDSU game in a while as well. Very much looking forward to the season starting, and I'm not typically a big basketball fan, but over the past few seasons UND has really got my interest.

It looks like Friday's game is on CBS SN, but does anyone know what the viewing options are for Saturday? Does Miami have any webcast options? Big series for the Sioux, looking forward to some good games.

Can't argue with that, paying for a service we should expect it to be flawless.

Overall I thought the webcast was really good, much better than I expected. It would be nice if it didn't just cut to black to the TV timeouts though. Why don't they just broadcast the commercials that are on TV. Thats what most other webcasts do. Id be all about watching some of the old GF commercials I used to see in college, haha ... it would be better than a silent black screen.

Mine did the same thing on the penalty shot. That when I stopped trying to watch live and I watched at about a 1-2 minute delay. That seemed to solve the freezing problem. Hopefully they continue to make improvements.

Just wanted to get a concencus on how the webcast worked for people? I was pleasantly surprised at how well it was for the first game. The HD was a great improvement, and I didn't have any issues with the game being glitchy or pixilated. About half way through the game I did see some issues with the screen freezing and having to refresh. I think it was starting to have some buffering issues or something, I just dragged the tracker back and watched the game at about a minute delay and didnt have any problems the rest of the game. I'm sure this isn't as high traffic of a game as we'll see with the regular season, but for a first go it seemed pretty good. Now if they can just get rid of Dan Hammer ... he is just awful.

Lennon has D1 experience, and is certainly a better coach than Muss, I wouldn't want Muss if we were still a D2 program. In his time here we have yet to win a big game. Beating Montana in a down year is probably the best he has done. Fresno State, SanDSU could have both been wins. Then back to back blowout losses to Montana and Montana State; with likely another one coming against E.Washington. Losing all faith in this team, not because of the losses, but how they are losing. There is just no defense on this team.

k my bad for putting up the thread. I thought it might transpire into discussing some new coaching option for next year (clearly not Craig Bohl). I really don't know what coaching options are out there, but i don't think Muss is the guy for the job.

Then throw out some names ...

So this is just for fun, and would never happen, BUT ... Suppose UND make Craig Bohl a ridiculous number to leave the the Ag school and come Noth. Would he do it? I don't mean offer slightly more, but an offer that was substantially more. It would be a sure way to completely ruin the legacy he has built himself and NDSU, but money talks. I know I would prefer to have him over our current coach. I see Muss as a guy who consistently plays not to lose, rather than I guy who plays to win. This was evident last year in the last game of the season, with the awful way they finished due to terrible coaching decisions. I know Bohl will never coach for the Sioux, but its fun conversation to entertain. Regardless, I hope they find a solid guy for next year. Unless Muss goes on a tear this season, I have to imagine his time is up.

Fairly legit complain. Why wouldn't you host college gameday where the game is, seems pretty strange. Even from ESPN's perspective, they should be wanted to get the whole atmosphere (Game, Tailgating, fans) on, or behind, their cameras.

38-35 Sioux ... if we win this game it will be because of the offense

How does the RB from SDSU compare to the RB from SanDSU last year? I remember them having a really tough RB and we played them really tough!

I understand where people are trying to compare UNDs offense to SU and determine whether they are mediocre or not . . . but until they can get on the field and prove themselves against some competent defenses, the argument bears no weight. We'll find out soon enough if this team is for real. This weekend will shed some light, but the real question is how do they look after the next month.

I'm glad I'm not the only person that was bothered by that

Check the Fox College Sports website. I looked at their broadcast schedule for the Prior Lake, MN area, and it was listed as broadcasting live, but i don't know what areas it does/does not apply too. http://msn.foxsports.com/tv/schedule

This may already be out there, but it does look like UND vs SDSU will be broadcast live on Fox College Sports.
