got to finish those T. got to finish those

Same starting lineup as from the Creighton Game Trent Brooks Omot T Sueker

The only thing I can think of is this: 1) They really think the world of Vanderwahl and Jardine 2) They feel that they can win the Summit with a smaller, quicker lineup

You already want to move off of Wilson? Lets ride!

Against Waldorf? Pic or it didn't happen

Well after getting steamrolled by Creighton last Friday night, UND turns its attention to the regular season home opener. The opponent, the Pacific Tigers of the WCC. About Pacific: When you hear about teams from the WCC. Two names come to mind: Gonzaga and St. Mary's (okay, maybe BYU as well). Everyone once in a while you might hear the emergence of another team but its mainly those two you hear about the most (and BYU). Last year a long season for the Tigers under first year coach Leonard Perry. The squad only won 8 games and finished near the bottom of the WCC. So you could excuse the masses if they felt like this was going to be another long year. Funny thing about that. See the Transfer Portal can get a bad rap because of the high majors raiding the low and mid majors for talent. Well the otherside is this, those high major players that drop down can play immediately. Well Pacific raided the portal, bringing in 7 transfers to their team, including 3 from Power 5 Schools. Will this allow them to get back on track in a quicker fashion and climb the WCC standings? They aren't getting to Gonzaga and St. Mary's levels... but could they get to the 2nd tier of teams? We shall see, early results are promising. About Leonard Perry (57-120 overall record, 8-22 Pacific, 3-11 WCC) The 2nd year head coach is in his 2nd head coaching position after spending 5 years at his Alma Matter Idaho (2001-2006). Unforunately, he was on the list of people who tried to go home... but sometimes you can't go home. After Idaho, he spent some time with the Pacers as a scout/assistant coach, then an assistant at Southern Mississippi, Colorado State, and Pacific. When Damon Stoudamire left to take an assistant coach job with the Celtics, he stepped into the job. Perhaps the 2nd time around will be better for him, but it was a bumpy start in his first year and hoping that the transfers that got brought in can jump start his 2nd season. Also, it appeared that the coach wasn't on the sidelines for the NDSU game, so wonder if he will be on the sidelines tomorrow. Key Player: Jordan Ivy-Curry (6'2 Guard) The Sophomore from UTSA has been lighting it up in the first two games, averaing around 20 a game. He can do it at all 3 levels and can do everything offensively that you can ask for when it comes to scoring. I would expect a lot of Trent and Brooks on this guy tomorrow night. Keys: 1) How will the perimeter defense hold? 2) Can UND hit the 3 ball enough? 3) Can UND take care of the basketball? 4) Who can establish themselves? The Call This is two teams that are still trying to figure out just who they are. Pacific looks better than they were last year and UND is trying to figure things out still. With that said, it is at home and UND plays very well at the Betty. UND is going to have to take care of the basketball and play well defensively to get the win. They can't afford to get this into a shootout with the Tigers, it won't end well. You know what... I am feeling it. UND behind Omot, Brooks, and Trent pull the upset. UND 81-78 Game is on the Plus

UND needs to throw their voice around more.

Speaking of people that need to be send home... Vegas: How can you lose to a team, who hired a coach who hasn't coached in the NFL ever, playing against a QB who has fallen off a cliff. Send McDaniels back to New England.

Wow.

Not getting a TD hurt there

I honestly think UND gets in no matter what happens. If they don't... Bubba/Chaves better raise hell

Don't turn whoever the RB is for NDSU into the next superstar. That's what happened in Spring 2021, don't let it happen in Fall 2022.

They did that for years when I was a student and that got students to other sporting events when hockey was in town.

No more priority lines for students?

It is time That's all that needs to be said

I'll say 16-17

USD is in a rock and a hard place, he has 1 year left on his contract and you don't want a lame duck situation. So they have to bite the bullet on letting him go and getting a new coach or letting him go. They also have an EXTREMELY favorable schedule next year

I didn't see that UC Davis has Sac State next, so I stand corrected.

Need Idaho to win tonight to get UC Davis to 5 losses.

I think it is safe to say 3 will get in.

Remember when Wisconsin signed Mertz and everyone was freaking out that they finally got a QB that could take them to the promise land and in his first start he went 20-21 and threw for 5 TDs and everyone lost their minds? I do. Look at him now, can't even beat an awful Iowa team.

Ball game, Mo State beats YSU bad loss for Youngstown, that could cripple their playoff hopes even if they beat SIU next week

I'd rather have that be a bigger win.

I'm guessing they stopped doing priority line tickets at NoDak Nation

ACU took down Sammy, that will help UND. SIU going down, another helpful outcome for UND SDSU up on ISU-Red, need that to hold to eliminate another MVFC team from the bubble Mo State up on YSU at the half. Need a Penguin comeback here.
