Shouldn't it have said he is suspended for the rest of the season?!

Yeah that makes sense!

Hopefully Wiley will be be thinking to himself next week at this time "Man, I would trade in that MVP for one chance to play in the NCAA tournament!"

Pretty easy formula. Win 2 games against St Cloud this weekend, and win at least one game against UMD, Denver, or WMU in Minneapolis and we are in.

In the past 5 seasons since being in the Big Sky, UND has finished in the top 5 in 4 of those years. Winning the Regular season this year. UND has reached at least the semifinals of the conference tournament 3 of the past 4 years. UND won the regular season title this year. Sure Jones has a horrible non conference record. But in a mid major/one bid league, it's all about the conference play. That determines byes and seeding for the conference tournament. Only thing that non conference determines is what your seeding will be based on your RPI if you make the NCAA's. That being said, I am not giving a free pass to to what Jones has (or hasn't) accomplished in non conference play. But looking at the Big Sky results, and given that they just won the regular season title, I don't think Faison can justify firing Jones. Make the NCAA Tournament and there is zero chance!

It is nice to have that in your back pocket. Will be nice to not be playing in the CIT this year!!!

Pretty remarkable story! Hockey goalie defends against allergy to ice https://www.qu.edu/life/now/goalie-defends-against-allergy-to-ice.html

Wow. Did they even attempt a shot??!

Sidenote to east of the river: If you thought Centrals performance was dominant yesterday, the Green Wave may have outdone them. EGF beat Bagley-Fosston 7-0 and outshot them 60-0!!! Yeah you are reading that right. EGF did not allow a single shot on goal!

Wait......for real??? That's official?

What was the final number on shots?

Go Riders!!!

If UND wins the either the Regular season or the tournament Championship, there is absolutely no way he doesn't get a contract. Not sure you can justify signing an extendion with the excuse that "well, UND got lucky this year."

Sidenote: Props to Vegas_Sioux for coming up with one of the best thread names I have seen on Siouxsports. Well done. Ok back to ripping on NDSU

Boo Berry time yet??

Agreed. Brien hit a home run back in 2001 when he created the Sioux logo. The last two examples (this one and the proposed Fighting Hawk logo) are ground outs to the pitcher at best.

And so it begins. Grab your Jiffy Pop and grab a seat around the fire!! Fire breaks out at main Dakota Access Pipeline camp ahead of evacuation order http://www.valleynewslive.com/content/news/414485893.html

Not all the play in games are 16 seeds. They throw in 11 v 11 and 12 v 12 in there as well. VCU went from the First Four to the Final Four a couple years back. There is plenty of interest for the First Four games. Obviously not as much as when the first round games starts, but its there.

UND has 2 options here on what they are going to decide. They can either make this decision on what sports to cut based on feelings, or based on numbers and facts. Kennedy and other UND officials need to not be worried about hurting peoples feelings and "public outcry" when cutting a sport if it is going to save millions in the long run.

You could argue that the teams in the play in game get much more exposure than the 16 teams that don't have to play. There are 2 play in games each nigh. Those game are on CBS. Many people are watching just those games as opposed to Thursday and Friday when there are 32 games a day. More people will be watching a North Dakota/Mt St Mary's game than a North Dakota/Villanova game. Playing the play in game is not ideal, but not the worst scenario. Best chance to win a tournament game!!

Red River was co champs in 1977, champs in 1987, champs in 1997, champs in 2007. I see a pattern here. Is there any doubt who wins it this year?!!
