UND is +5.5 with the total at 141.5. Implied score of 73-68. I expect to win, but there’s no reason we don’t cover.

Bingo.

Good for him. I don’t miss him.

UND (KP 241) heads out west for the return game for Fullerton (KP 214) competing in the MTE last year. UND actually kind of had their way with them last year in somewhat of a surprise. Well fast forward to this year and UND is riding a 6 game win streak while Fullerton has one D1 win over Southern Miss. Despite the records, KenPom predicts UND to fall in this one 73-68. It appears that this is another team with a high scoring guard, Max Jones. He’s averaging 18.5 points, 3.8 boards and 2.8 assists. I’d also keep an eye on Donovan Oday. Looks like he’s coming off the bench but average 10.6 points. I’m mostly interested in him because I was hoping to land him out of high school and then again when he transferred from McNeese State. Not sure if an official offer was ever made either time but he was on their radar at least. Looks like we will be able to catch this one on ESPN+.

I don’t think he’d have any more eligibility but who knows these days.

This one?

Well said. I really hope they go hard on the brockstar formation with Romfo.

Oh I really liked him in that game but assuming no portal entries (I know, tough to assume) all we lose is Brady and T. Tyree is going to take major minutes and then we need a big for sure. Will be hard for Kraft to carve his way to much playing time.

Tyree isn’t an abomination from 3 but he’s not a shooter either. Shot 34% last year but only 16 makes. I’d be surprised if Kraft is seeing many minutes next year.

You know you don’t believe that. We will have to figure out how to break a zone, that’s for sure. Teams are going to let us shoot all day from 3, I’d imagine. I’m not trying to look to next year already but our two biggest needs have to be a big and a shooter.

Well if Feeney ends up getting the nod, I guess we still have our blindside tackle.

I wonder if he may end up back at his original commitment, Ashland University. Grand Valley State always comes to mind too just because I’m familiar with them from the D2 days, no longer know anything haha.

Well I guess people get what they want. I really hope Tommy goes and tears it up. Guys super likable and a damn good QB no matter what everyone says. It was probably time to see something new but I think we may find ourselves missing what we had.

Oh damn I missed that. No idea.

They look solid. Loge is playing real well. UND’s gotta figure out how to handle the zone.

What would Vegas put as the odds on each of the QBs transferring?

I don’t want to lose anyone but this kind of goes back to my point about coaches being poached. If he were to just go to another FCS school, that would suck but if he ends up going to a legitimate FBS school (already has offer from Texas Tech) than you can’t blame the kid.

And so it begins

I don’t ever want coaches poached but if you’re successful, your coaches will be poached.

What are the odds any significant change happens? Either HC, or coordinator. Feels like -330, status quo.

I’d be frustrated if I was Eliodor. He left USD as their leading receiver last year but they were bad. Thinks he is going to come to this prolific offense and dominate. Has a couple good games and catches but lose right away in the playoffs. Meanwhile his old team is the 3 seed. Tough. Grass isn’t always greener.

Interesting that the last two wins have actually dropped UND in KenPom from 236 to 243.

I’m not suggesting bigger, I’m suggesting better. I really like the setup at USD.

I wish I had billions of dollars. I’d build a hell of an arena for UND basketball. Football too.

I’d love Bill to address this on his next pod or something. What’s the reason? I like the addition of the “court side” seats on the baseline though. I have this memory of similar court side seats on the base line back in the day at the Betty, maybe I’m making that up but I’d like to see that too although not sure how the walkway worked then.
