I think it also has to do with all the high end players no longer being in the league. Not saying there’s not new high end players but the league lost a lot of talent last year that had been around a few years. Zeke, Frankie, BJ, Tyree, Andrew Morgan, Boden (yuck), Bjorklund, Bruner.

I like Sather. Seems like a really good dude and from many trusted people, a good coach. A lot has happened since he took this job with COVID, the portal and NIL. Now that’s not to say other coaches don’t have that same excuse but he excelled in a different world of college athletics and at a program that prioritized basketball rather than one where it is maybe the 3rd fiddle. If things don’t turn around, it does seem like he may have an opportunity to go back to Northern though with the trainwreck Saul has there.

I probably shouldn’t have brought it up on here. Don’t want to derail what’s actually happening. Anyways, just watched the Dariyus Woodson Midco feature. Seems like a good kid. I would be lying though if I wasn’t frustrated with how he’s played out. I knew coming in that 3s was what he liked to shoot but I really think he has a skill set to provide more than that. Not saying he will be a post presence but he is built more than I thought coming in. Feel like he could be a bit more of a point forward almost? Idk just don’t think he should be exclusively a chucker at 31% from 3. Also, has 3 total rebounds in conference play. Shocking for a 6’7” guy playing significant minutes. I should add that with the recent NCAA ruling with JUCOs he could technically be a freshman. Believe the waiver right now is only for seniors (Amar).

I see DAE is going after Dosch and Sather on X, the everything app, again!

So when are we getting a CHL player?

lol did you read @fightingsioux4life essay first?

Wow it’s almost like you read my mind. I was typing this kind of thing up but then just opted to not. Agree 100%.

It’s been super frustrating. I’m not sure how to really spin it any other way. I guess 2 of our 3 losses are to the current top teams in the Summit but both occurred at home and both were never really close.

Super weird take, imo. Get the frustration with his penalty last night but Louis has captain material written all over him.

That might be partially just a Verm issue but I get your point.

If Berry is let go, who comes in? Will it actually be better? Nick Fohr comes to mind to get the USNDTP pipeline.

UND travels to Tulsa to take on a bad Oral Roberts team. Continue the effort shown against Denver. UND is -2.5 and the o/u is 160.

Former friend Carter Pabst is headed to Wazzu.

Through 3 conference games Eaglestaff is 1-14 from 3.

I just texted my buddies that I feel like we haven’t seen UND dunk at all at home this year and they have at least 5 dunks tonight.

Did Treyson accept a bag after the Bama game? Hasn’t been good since.

Yeah the effort is on a different level than those games. I won’t buy in though until we beat a decent team. Road wins are always tough but ORU isn’t looking good either.

We are bad. Denver is awful.

Mara starting tonight in place of Mayar. He must be out still. Interesting he gets the nod over Woodson but I’m for it.

They do have some talented guards it sounds like. No front court but neither do we.

We play Denver tonight. Looks like we are 2 point dogs now, line has flipped as we were -2 this morning. I don’t have much more to say. A couple games here that are damn near must win for Sather.

Could maybe be due to TV too?

UND currently has the 355th ranked defense according to KenPom. There’s 364 teams…. In Sather’s 6 years here, his highest rated defense was 272. Brian Jones in 10 years of stats had 4 years below 272 with a low of 346 but he also had years ranked 135 and 157.

People have been wanting speed, feels like between Hoskins and Young, we have certainly added that. On field production, TBD.
