    North Dakota v. Montana

    in Men's Basketball

    I went to the game for the first time in quite a while. Ugly game. No flow in the first half. So many fouls and dribbling turnovers both ways. Sioux were getting worked inside early. Once our guards starting playing some help D we did better. I'd be surprised if Montana shot from outside more than 5 times in first half. Second half was frustrating to watch but at least wasn't so much down time. Montana was hitting 3's lights out. I think 5 in a row at one point. And our guards did not attack the zone defense unless they dribbled right into someone. Too many turnovers. Too many missed threes. And free throws!!!!

    Ok, so I sound like a debbie downer, but we should've throttled them. Some good things. Brekke's first step is so quick and he tipped so many shots. And I love his roll off a screen. Most of our big guys are open on the roll, but the guards don't get them the ball. Mitchel can score anywhere in the paint. I thought the guards did a very good job driving to the hoop early. Webb and his floater in the lane. We have some quickness and definitely can jump. Lots of blocked and redirected shots.

    Imagine making some extra free throws and having half the turnovers. Then its more like a 20 point win. Though our D did good job grabbing turnovers as well especially in ot.

    Yeah it was pretty sloppy. Brekke was open numerous times of the pick and roll it was frustrating when they didn't give him the ball. We missed 19 free throws in the game! WOW! Looks like we need some practice in that area!

    Goodman wasn't dressed and Wilmer wasn't even there. Gentry played for a very short time in the first half and Benton is redshirting. Huff looked like he wanted to control the game too much and the other players seemed hesitant to pass him the ball. I really liked our depth though.

    something I have found out in many years of life - when you don't ask, the answer is always "no".

    Stoops is from Youngstown, Ohio and went to college at the U of Iowa. Who knows what he might say?

    I do like the thought of that though so I would not mind that at all.

    I am still in the get Bob Nielson corner, he has been nothing short of great at UMD. However, for those of you who feel that the next head coach must have D-I experience, I submit the name of Mike Stoops. He was dropped by the Arizona Wildcats this fall after a poor start, but had taken over a program that was consistently in the bottom third of the PAC 10 and made contenders out of them. Another plus for UND is that he was a successful football coach at a basketball school, so he would not have a complex about UND being a hockey school (as Nielson has been able to do at Duluth).

    There is no way Mike Stoops will come to North Dakota.
