Play Deng more today please. Give it a shot at least. He’s got the length and athleticism. Can’t really shoot but who can? If something doesn’t change, would imagine he hits the portal the day the season ends.

Has he been forcing it a lot for them?

There’s an ugly trend happening across campus right now….. wasn’t too long ago that I was delusional enough to think the university could see a similar year of success as that 2016-17 year….

We are on to South Dakota State. Friday sucked and UND needs to learn from it but they can’t sulk about it as we head to Frost Arena to play the preseason favorite and a team we have lost 15(!) straight to. They are led by Zeke Mayo (#2) averaging 17 ppg, 6.2 rbg and 3.2 apg. Charlie Easley (#30) is the 2nd leading scorer averaging 11.8 and is typically a pest on defense. William Kyle (#42) is a player I’ve been super impressed with since last year. Not many big men with that athleticism in the conference. Also, look for Matt Mims to return. He’s very important for them. KenPom has UND (279) losing this one 78-68 while BartTorvik has us losing 78-66. Idk what to think anymore. Would expect a better performance than Friday but would be pretty surprised if we leave with a victory.

Idk if there’s ever been a game that has me more discouraged than that. We will be a middle of the pack Summit team I still believe but that’s not what I want to strive for. The energy, the culture, that’s what I want…… and I’m not sure that’s going to happen under Sather. Still wish we would have been able to swing it with Ben McCollum, but clearly we don’t invest enough into basketball.

Watch us go out and beat SDSU on Sunday and provide renewed hope….

That was the worst game I’ve ever attended. Left at the 12 min timeout. Don’t think I’ve ever done that. 0 compete, pathetic. How do you not put in Mayar or Mara or someone to see if they can provide a spark? Idk the game was over right away but still.

Noticed the EWU has very similar jerseys to UND. The pants look the same just different color way obviously. I think adding a black outline to the numbers and fonts would do wonders for our jerseys. Also, add the name too. Too much space on the back, in my opinion.

Langden College

Forgot to mention that this game will be on CBS Sports Network.

UND (KP 252) couldn’t pull of the upset last week against Nebraska but showed some really impressive moments but just couldn’t hold it together in the 2nd half. But now it’s onto conference play, with 2 Big Sky games mixed in, and it starts with St. Thomas (191). UST had a strong non-con including a near upset over a top 10ish Marquette team. They are led by Parker Bjorklund (#5), averaging 14.2ppg and 4.8rpg, and Raheem Anthony (#24), averaging 9.8ppg, 4.5rpg and 3apg. Tough opponent that’s well-coached. KenPom projects UND to pull off a tight one 68-67, while Bart Torvik projects a 67-66 loss. Get out to the Betty and check out Tyree and the squad in action. Guessing most haven’t seen him play in person due to him playing the Covid year.

This is someone I’d go after hard. Probably going to get bigger opportunities at this point but we were in on him out of high school.

Because he didn’t commit instantly?

Has it been discussed that Langden College is coming to campus in January? That will be huge. Doesn’t happen too often at the FCS level. His brother is available too still, WR transferring from South Dakota.

Agreed completely on the 3 playing as many mins as possible. T needs to figure it out, he had a decent first half rebounding but was a complete liability in the 2nd. Didn’t love Amar in the 2nd half either.

What’s your guys ideal rotation with approx. minutes? I don’t disagree, I think Deng could provide a lot just saying some of the issue.

The rotation was 9 tonight. Deng played 3 mins. He needs to play with a consistent motor if he’s going to earn back time.

Agreed. No matter the final.

The 6 points feels like 20 to me.

Don’t love minutes with both Tyree and BJ on the bench.

Nothing infuriates me more than Omot settling for a step back 3. Guy can score or get fouled every time on the drive and he’s far from a shooter.

Sit the bench. Mathews was having a nice half.

Nominate me for the preposterous statement tournament but no one in the summit would beat us playing like that first half.

That block by Omot was so sick.
