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.

5-1 best start in the D1 era along with 4 non-con D1 wins which is the most they’ve had too. Transfer portal was a killer.

I think defense?

Did he get a minute? I only caught the second half. He’s not hurt is he? Just a benching? Hope he takes this and learns from it and doesn’t just give up on it.

They didn’t get a shot off. WINNNNNN

Amar misses both

Makes the first. Misses the 2nd but Amar gets the board and goes to the line! 4 seconds.

Danielson to the line.

This Acuff kid is killing us. 71-70 UND with 13 seconds left. Get the ball to Eaglestaff and make your FTs!

71-67 UND 17.5 seconds left. EMU ball.

At some point do you go to a starting lineup of Eaglestaff, Brooks, Omot, Amar and T? As long as Brooks is playing plenty of minutes probably doesn’t matter but it seems he has been providing more than King so far.

Leading 69-67 with under a minute to play. Omot stepped up and Eaglestaff hit 3 FTs. UND ball.

Trailing 53-51 now. Nice little run there.

Trailing by 9 now. T just set a moving screen. Things are unraveling.

2nd half not going well. Trailing by 5 right now. Brooks about to go to the line.

Omot will figure it out. I just don’t want him to force it. That’s what it looked like he was doing a bit against Pacific. He can get to the rim and either draw a foul or make the bucket almost every time. I’m sure he’s trying to show he has an expanded game to get bigger looks but we can’t let it hurt winning.
