  1. The top possible transfers from the Summit, in my opinion are:

    - Frankie Fidler

    - Zeke Mayo

    - William Kyle

    - Andrew Morgan

    - BJ Omot (entered)

    Anyone I’m missing? There will be more that enter but these are the ones that could “move up”.

    The main thing really holding him back is the 28% from three this year.

    Even with that, I'd assume a decent amount of teams, especially Minnesota, will be all over him when he hits the portal. He'll find a good spot and make close to or even more than six-figures. That will be a good choice for him and his family. 

    As good as BJ is, I truly think he’s right at the right level. Could he play at the next level? Sure. Will he also get a bit lost in the shuffle? Probably. If a bag gets dropped on his porch, I can’t blame him.

    Who is staying/leaving predictions...

    Staying:  King, Amar, Tyree, Mara, Kraft, Doppler, Erikson, Bothum 

    Leaving:  Omot, Brooks, Matthews, Hong, Brady (graduated), T (graduated)

    On the Fence:  Treyson and Deng 

    I would move Omot and Tyree to the fence and Treysen staying. Could see one of the freshman leaving too realizing they’re not going to make it at this level.

    Another point is I think a lot of people are forgetting about Mara and the jump that he is going to make going into next year. He joined the team like the first week of school so was behind from the beginning.

    He has the tools to be a perfect 3 and D guy. He is physically ready to compete at the D1 level. Just needed to get acclimated to UND, the system, and college basketball. A full year of practices and a full summer with the team and he'll be ready to go next year. Hopefully he is on The Gun the whole summer getting up thousands of 3's!!

    Man I wish he would have redshirted. I think he’s a bit older so I get it but it would be nice to have 4 years still. He’s got the tools but up to him to want to achieve his potential.

    It would definitely be a lot asking for a redshirt freshman PWO to step into the rotation of a team that hopes to compete for a Summit League title. I hope they go portal and try get someone with some experience to fill that role, but if Kraft is good enough to fill it then I’m totally ok with that. 

    Agreed. He does seem like a good shooter and skilled but we should be over the moon excited if he ever plays significant minutes on a good team.

    We have two glaring needs heading into the off-season, that were also glaring needs last off-season and weren't addressed by this staff.

    I'm not holding my breath that these needs get addressed. You see on Twitter that we're talking to portal kids like Fox that fill exactly 0 of our 2 major needs. 

    I feel like him hearing from Sather was bound to happen due to the connection. Whether they’re actually going hard for him is another question. My thought is he doesn’t make much sense here unless BJ is gone. Not saying he can replace BJ.

  7. The 2023-24 season had some major lows and major highs. Was quite the rollercoaster. Unfortunately, it ended much sooner than we hoped. Now it’s time to start looking forward to next year. 

    In theory, we have a super talented roster set to return. Unfortunately, the portal exists and you never know what’s going to happen.

    Let’s just assume the offseason goes as planned and no one leaves. We would have one open scholarship which I think we’d want to fill with a big. Now, I’m assuming another scholarship or two will open and if that’s someone that wasn’t a contributor this year, I would anticipate us looking for a 3 and D guy. Clearly they’re not looking for a high school kid so they’re going to attack the portal it appears. 

    Buckle up, should be an interesting next month or so to follow.

    the end of the game last night was pathetic. a continuation of the NDSU game where they couldn't adjust to the simple actions NDSU was running and also couldn't get the ball to their best players on offense. I'd be optimistic for next year but obviously they're going to lose Omot to the portal and then they'll be back to square one. i wish they'd stop cheaping out and just go hire boschee or mccollum

    McCollum is going to Missouri State. 

  9. Not calling a timeout at the end is bonkers. Not doubling Frankie is bonkers. We would have steamrolled Denver tonight. So frustrating. 

    Now we wait for the inevitable, “BJ Omot has entered the transfer portal”.

  10. It’s tournament time! UND put a whooping on USD on senior night last to end the season heading to Sioux Falls on a winning note. 

    It’s do or die time. We lose, we are probably done (idk rules about getting into CBI OR NIT but those aren’t what I want to watch). We split the season series with Omaha with both home teams winning quite decisively. The key is obviously slowing down Frankie Fidler. They were able to do that in Grand Forks. Limit his opportunities at the free throw line especially. Beyond him, they do have talent but I wouldn’t say they have much that will take over a game. Marquel Sutton, Nick Davis, JJ White and Grant Stubblefield are the others that you will see contribute. Curious to see if Tony Osburn is able to return. I thought he was done for the year but sounds like there’s a chance he could play. 

    KenPom has UND winning this one 74-73. BartTorvik says 75-72. If Vegas has UND -1, I’m hammering that. Weird things can happen in March but I think we should be able to handle this one. 

    Game will be on Summit League Network, if you’re not able to make it to Sioux Falls. I was hoping to make it but won’t be able to until Tuesday, if they make it there. I hope someday the SLT is similar to the Frozen Faceoff with it being an annual trip for my family and many other UND families. Let’s go Hawks!

    Izzo votes for Treyson and Nacho for 2nd team all-conference but leaves Omot out completely??? Should be stripped from his voting rights! Andrew Morgan of NDSU is on his first team all-conference which I believe he does belong on one just not the first team (skunberg is the leading scorer).

    Morgan belongs more than Skumberg. Omot being left off is a crime. I would have understood Trey not making it but not BJ.

    Wonder if Osburn and Glover will be ready to go for Omaha???

     

    Is Bruner out for Denver??

    No way Osborn is right? Didn’t he break his wrist or something? Bruner I thought it sounded like Achilles? He was in a boot at the end of the game.

    Kc won today so that makes us the third seed - correct? Wouldn’t the third seed play the sixth seed? The sixth seed is Omaha.   Please correct me. Thanks

    Yup that’s all correct.

    I think I’d rather play Omaha than ORU, but either way it’s going to be fun! 

    Idk I think ORU. We will outrebound the !@#$ out of them. Both have a guy that can put up 30+ on us. 

  15. UND couldn’t get it done against SDSU with hopes to win the conference. Now they have to shift their focus to USD to maintain a top 3 seed. 

    USD is tied for last place but UND can’t be sleeping on them. They just spanked NDSU to complete the sweep. They have some solid players with Lamar Thioune, Bostyn Holt and Kaleb Stewart. Going to have our hands full but if we are as good as we think we are we should be able to handle them. 

    KenPom has this a 79-72 win for UND. BartTorvik says 80-72. Vegas has UND -8.5. 

    Once again, I plead people to get to the Betty. While not everyone’s favorite players, get out their and honor Brady and T. Also, who knows with the portal this could be your last opportunity to see some other names. Let’s hope not. Games also on the Summit League Network.

    KC has the tie breaker for 2nd?

    If I’m understanding the tie-breakers correctly, yes. 1st tie breaker is H2H, which we split. 2nd is record against the best team and they split with SDSU.
