UND (KP 235) heads to Arkansas for their MTE and takes on New Orleans (KP 288), the former home of everyone’s good friend Desean Allen Eikens. They are led by former Denver guard, Jordan Johnson. He’s averaging 23.3 and 4.5 assists. Doesn’t look like New Orleans has beat a D1 opponent yet. KenPom has UND winning this one 78-75. If BJ and/or Eaglestaff have a better game than against Pacific, I think we win this one by closer to 10 points. Let’s keep the winning streak going!

What have NDSU’s odds been during their championship years? -160 is kinda nuts.

I think that’s fixed now. I embedded a tweet yesterday without editing or anything. I was surprised.

Would imagine the bid they submitted was substantially larger than this round, right? I don’t know when bids were submitted so maybe the NDSU possibility wasn’t thought about but gotta imagine bids in general that round are just much better with it being a more important game and also not a holiday weekend.

So does Sac State always run a 2 QB system? Looks like Conklin (#17) is a passer and Bennett (#1) is more of the dual threat. Looks like last game it was pretty 50/50 between the two.

We gotta remember that Mara didn’t join the team until the school year started. He will get PT but it’s going to take time. The others had all summer playing together.

This! That’s what’s most impressive here. Our next 8 games are all winnable. Not saying we win them all but good matchups. Nebraska’s that 9th game, I’m not saying that’s an L just a step up.

Agreed with that. Just kind of frustrating that they’re the ones trying to shoot us out of it. Omot can get to the rim/get a foul almost every time. Just attack!

What’s Eaglestaff and Omot doing? Come on.

What are we doing having to foul a guy to stop a fast break layup after our own FT? Come on.

Looks like we have the Iowa Eaglestaff and not the Elon Eaglestaff tonight.

Not a great start. Didn’t catch how many fouls Mayar has but he must have 2 or 3 with Danielson starting the 2nd?

Well I’m okay with that first half. Hated all the easy buckets so hopefully that’s cleaned up. Let’s have a second half similar to the Elon game!

The ball and player movement gets stuck too much it seems.

Northern Arizona I believe was always the best haha. I think he might have done the big sky tourney too or that was some other old guy.

So apparently Reid Grant is a sniper at the D2 level. Shooting 47.1% from 3 and 51.4% from the field. Averaging 15.7 points, 4.7 assists and 1.7 boards. Figured he’d be a nice D2 player but this is better than I anticipated but it’s early.

I feel like they’d look much better without the black shoulders. I hate different color shoulders.

This is hard to fathom. I haven’t been confident the last few weeks but I am feeling confident going into this. Feels like we should be able to run all over them.

I’m going to try my best.

So why haven’t we offered Parks or Starcevic? There’s not a rule where we can’t offer juniors, right? Sam Knuth from SD is another interesting QB in the 2025 class but I’m assuming it will be tough to get him here if the SD’s are interested. His brothers at KState after a year at Minnesota.

Establish the run to allow the passing game to work. I don’t think we need a career game from Tommy or anything. I think we go for 250+ rushing led by Ziebarth.

UND heads out west to face Pacific. KenPom has UND at 244 and Pacific at 219 and predicts an outcome of 79-74, Pacific. Would be huge to go out there and snag a W, they absolutely boat raced us last year at the Betty.

Weddings during football season should be illegal.

The most frustrating thing about our offense for me is that it is fully capable of being elite.
