Schiller is so legit. Such a good opportunity the next 3+ years to surround her with talent and good coaching. I said it before that she can have a Caitlin Clark effect locally.

I am not saying that we should be but I think what Brad said is being misconstrued a bit. I’ve been anti Berry for some time now. Just to add some receipts: Let’s add this to the record where I said we would regret not hiring DeBoer. We would regret not paying Ben McCollum and now this. Hire me for AD.

I guess I listened to it as he saw that team outshooting the opposing team constantly but couldn’t bury and then the following year it broke through.

Honest question, is this more than a coach issue? Is this an issue on how we support basketball? Will a new coach even help? Idk maybe I’m just defeated.

I don’t think you can only blame the coaching. The payers deserve plenty of blame too. The effort on D by some of these guys is just pathetic. Coaches deserve a lot of the blame but don’t let the payer’s off the hook.

USD’s defense coming into the game was 358th in the nation or something. While the first half showed some encouraging things, I’m not buying it.

Not too long ago I was pretty bummed because I could only go to 3 more home games. Now it’s down to 1 and I can’t wait for it to be over.

Offense is fun but I had almost no fun watching that game. Other than Mara’s dunks. This just sucks. USD sucks too so hope they aren’t on their high horse. UND just sucks more.

Could it be we can’t just win off history and The Ralph anymore? Maybe we have to catch up on the times in terms of the NIL. Schmidt has been mentioning the 1883 Collective left and right and talking about how important social media is these days for recruiting. Our hockey coaches are radio silent on both the collective and social media. Get with the times Berry!

X. The everything app.

Looks like USD flew here. Seems surprising.

It gets cold in Verm too and they’ve had a pipeline it seems.

USD (KP 264) comes to Grand Forks Thursday after getting hammered at home against NDSU. They seem to be struggling to find their identity and who’s going to take control of the minutes and like UND, prefer not to play defense. Their adjusted defensive efficiency (358) is actually 8 spots below us. They do, however, have a more efficient offense than ours. This is the final trip Paul Bruns will make to Grand Forks, unless the NCAA decides to allow people to play forever. He sits at 1-3 against UND in his career. Would say his career maybe didn’t pan out quite how he envisioned after winning Freshman of the Year. Hard to say he regrets the move though as he does get to play basically in his hometown and with his brother. Other than Paul, you have 3 other guards to keep an eye on. #12 Isaac Bruns, Paul’s brother, #9 Chase Forte and #1 Kaleb Stewart. All 3 are double digit scorers. Hope we can continue some momentum from the KC game. It is dollar dog night so come hungry for some hot dogs. Hopefully they figure out how to sling them quickly. KenPom has UND as 2 point favorites with a score of 90-88 (defense optional).

As long as he isn’t coaching the hands team

It’s super early but how much of the what looks to be the start of a turnaround should be credited to Hutter? I feel like he has made an immense impact early.

Almost like you ripped half that from my tweet

I just need to beat Paul Bruns another time. He’s 1-3 against UND.

Alright, 2-4 through 6 SL games. 10 more to go. What’s everyone’s predictions on the rest of the way? In my opinion we should beat USD at home on Thursday and then ORU and Denver at home too. I don’t know how many more wins I see outside of that though. Maybe at USD? Maybe at KC? I think that’s it. At BEST 7-9. At worst, we should be 5-11. Both those outcomes are unacceptable though.

Everyone talks about the locker room being divided. Maybe the coaching staff is divided.

Kalamazoo was a fun town when we went! We also swept so that only added to the fun!

Glad we won! KC I feel like should be a bit better than they are. Petty is really good. Brown is good but didn’t have a very good game.

Defense is now 350th! Teams are shooting 39.1% from 3 against us. 58.6% from 2.

The NDSU fans would love for him to replace Richman. SDSU fans would want him to take over if Henderson leaves. Omaha fans hope he sticks around until Crutch calls it quits. Only good things about him. Make the right move!

I think I’m in agreement.
