UNDBIZ

Perhaps, but it seems to me that in the long run a financial loss for the REA Foundation is a revenue reduction (financial loss) for UND.

Fans seemed to enjoy it (living out of town, I had to watch on tv) and the players got a good experience out of it, so hopefully it pays dividends in the future (donations, ticket sales, on-court success). It appears the real goal may have been to let the people of North Dakota and western Minnesota know that we have a half-decent basketball team again. From a financial standpoint though, with the cost of advertising, food and housing for the players during spring break, and the host bid, UND probably had a net loss of around $30 grand on it. Some of that loss may have been offset with donations, advertising, and tv revenue; I'm not sure if we got a bonus from our regional sports tv contract for the game or not.

If you can't hang with the big dogs, stay on the porch. Seriously though, I didn't see what caused him to go down, does he have a legitimate complaint?

I like it.

I thought he was decent from there. As an undersized big man, he needs to remain a threat from outside.

Good game. Predictable finish.

Tired at 53 with 12:40 to go

Crandall hot from 3 tonight

Yep. Our Frozen Faceoff struggles continue.

Any tv/internet streaming for this game?

It's the WBI. Can't say Grand Canyon U is really a school I want UND to be associated with in any way, but I guess it is what it is. Send them back to AZ with a big L.

They have Duluth at 15 and uscho has them at 13. Who's right?

That would make some sense.

Thought someone said bids would be in the $30-$35k range. I guess I was hoping we could sell 1000-1500 $10 tickets and turn a profit on concessions.

Huh. Budget issues must not be that serious if we can afford to throw away $20k on a meaningless game.....

UND hosting?

Hoopster (UND hater) vs North Dakota (bison fan). This could get interesting.

Saw that UND is currently on an 8 game winning streak. Who were the first 2 wins in the streak against?

Hail Bubba!

Could do a 1 year extension. Buy out if the team doesn't get 20 wins and into the championship game next year.

Agreed. CC looks like they'd gladly be on the golf course rather than the ice right now.

Bummer. Olsen was also my #1.

Apparently UND set records in the game for largest margin of victory and most individual rebounds (Bernstine) in the history of the BSC tournament.
