Defensemen playing inspired without Tucker. Looking good so far. Keep it up!!

I guess Berry thought it would be best to rest Tucker for a couple weeks before the semi final game in Chicago!!

If UND WHKY was consistently winning conference/tournament championships and making trips to the NCAA tournament, you could at least make a case for them. But 0 regular season or conference tournament championships and 2 NCAA tournament appearances in 13 years (0 wins) is definitely not justifying taking a 1.5 million dollar hit every year to keep the program around.

If we score the first 2 goals, it's over. Crowd is gonna be delusional!!!

There may not be a lot of people wearing the scarlet and gray at Scheels Arena tonight, but there will definitely be plenty ofBuckeye fans in the crowd cheering them on!!

11 years ago today!! Seems like just yesterday. Still doesn't get old watching this clip!! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X1_x1oo35L0

"Sioux forever" chants = "Divided Forever" fanbase.

In a way we are both right. The geometric logo was the official logo from 1976-2001, The Blackhawk logo was used for hockey from 1964-1993. So while the hcokey team won 5 championships when the geometric logo was the official logo for UND, they won those other 3 while wearing the Blackhawk logo.

Actually, If you want to get technical, the hockey team only won 2 titles with the geometric logo (1997, and 2000). 1980, 1982, and 1987 were won with the Blackhawk logo.

If UMD fans aren't calling in to get tickets, it's not our fault that UND fans are calling to buy them. Selling tickets to UND fans is better than releasing them back to Scheels arena and not making money!!

Iowa State adds North Dakota to 2024 football schedule http://www.fbschedules.com/2017/03/iowa-state-north-dakota-2024-football-schedule/

The only time the issue ever comes up is when the "Let's go Sioux" and "Sioux Forever" chants are heard at hockey games. The people who continue to do this are the ones that are dividing the fanbase. You can claim that the NCAA, Standing Rock tribe, UND Presidents, AD's, etc are the ones that forced a new name and logo on UNd are the ones to blame. That may have been partly true in the past. But right here, right now, the people that are dividing this fanbase are the "Sioux Forever" fans. And you know who you are. Instead of dividing, at least try to maybe see that what you are doing and maybe sacrifice just a little bit and maybe just maybe try to accept the Fighting Hawks.

What's needed at the Alerus? Someone new to run it apparently..... http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/4238752-operator-vikings-stadium-applies-run-grand-forks-alerus-center

I know that there are a lot of people who right now say that they will never support the Fighting Hawks name and logo. That the new name is unoriginal and generic and that the logo was shoved down our throats. I get it. We all feel that way. I think the one request that many of us that have moved towards the new name and logo is just to give it a chance. Of course we all would want UND to still be the Fighting Sioux, but that is not an option. I wasn't a huge fan of the name and logo either when both were announced. But I chose to put all that aside and embrace the Fighting Hawks. I am not saying you have to start yelling "Go Hawks" at games in your Fighting Hawks shirt, sweatshirt, and hat. Go at your own speed. But at least try to embrace the change. You may suprise yourself and might actually think that the Fighting Hawks name and logo aren't all that bad.

Grand Forks to Minneapolis - 315 miles Grand Forks to Sioux FAlls - 319 miles Plus, traffic, hotels, etc are going to be a lot more affordable in Sioux Falls than downtown Minneapolis. Sioux Falls isn't some small little podunk town. They have a population of 165,000. If you want to go to the Cities and do other stuff besides go to hockey games, than Minneapolis is probably your best bet. But if you want to go to a venue where hockey is the main tenant, is easy to get to, cheaper all around, and is the same distance away minus all the traffic, Sioux Falls is the better option.

Who picks these games? The Big Sky or Root sports?

The Fighting Hawks logo on the ice at Scheels arena. The logo looks good on the ice with a white background. Preview of things to come at center ice at the Ralph next year?!!

Bubba's deal when he was hired in 2014 was for $150,000. Three years, a conference Championship, and a playoff appearance later, he signed a new 5 year deal for $185,000 a year that will increase by $10,000 each year. UND picked up Jones option and signed him on through the 2017 season back in 2013 for $100,000. 4 years later and a Conference Championship and a trip to the NCAA tournament, a contract extension is TBD. Men's College basketball has the potential to be UND's highest profile sport. Just look at the numbers. 1.4 million people watched the NCAA tournament game against Arizona. That is the most watched UND sporting event in UND athletics history. UND needs to pay it's MBB coach appropriately. Jones has had his struggles, but he definitely deserves a contract and a raise for him and his assistants. If UND is serious about taping into the potential of MBB, then need to offer Jones at least a deal similar to what they gave Bubba, if not more.

I think every UND player, coach, fan, etc is hoping UMD gets sent to Fargo.

Cheerleaders were there.

This topic was mentioned in a thread, and I thought that since the season is now over, why not start up a good conversation about the greatest players in UND basketball history. The question was asked whether Hooker is on UND's "Mount Rushmore" of basketball. Great question. UND has had some pretty spectacular players. 3 of the 4 I would put up there would be Scott Guldseth, Dave Vonesh, and Phil Jackson. But who gets the 4th spot? Hooker had one heck of a career. does he belong up there with the all time greats at UND? Players like Chirs Gardner, Travis Tuttle, Mike Boschee, Troy Huff, and Jerome Beasley (to name a few) all had great careers. So who is your "Mount Rushmore" of UND mens basketball?!!

On;y if you are happy about it!!
