Tighen the perimeter d Be more asserive with the rebounding just keep shooting, the shots will fall. They can come back. One good spurt gets them back into the game

I double checked the stats after TV said they had 10, they do.

WIU is 10-17 from 3

Try to get the deficit to under 10 points by the half if you can.

Still a lot of time left.

That has to be the 4th or 5th shot that rimmed out for UND in this quarter.

Not the start UND needed. However, this is what happened in the game in Malcomb.

US with a serious chance to medal? Or putting too much stock into one game?

Agreed. We will know a lot more on what UND needs to do after today, but even more on Monday (ORU and WIU play a make-up that day)

I believe the next tiebreaker after head to head is record against top seeded teams. Right now because of Omaha win against KC, they would break the tie against UND if the records were tied. Right now, because UND have played one less game. A win and an Omaha loss would techincally put them in front. 5 is the safe number for both of these teams. If one of them can get to 5 wins, they will likely get the last spot.

Lets get back to the game today. Important game. UND has passed 3 out of the 4 tests so far, this one will be the toughest just by the style that WIU plays and they want a little revenge for what happened in Malcomb. They are coming in confidence after taking down NDSU on the road. UND has to play a full 40 minutes today and finish the home part of the conference schedule 6-3. Then turn your attention to the big road games. A win today means that they can't be lower than a 5 seed in Sioux Falls (meaning they would play the Sunday Afternoon session).

UND make it two in a row with a 78-70 win in St. Paul. UND now looks to make it 3 in a row in Malcomb against Western Illinois. This is an game that UND can get. It would be a big game for UND to get as well. A win gives them a half game lead against Omaha (if they lose) for the final spot for the Summit League tournament and a ton of momentum going into the final 4 home games of the season. They have shot the ball well the last 3 games, can they keep that going? Can they rebound better than they did the first time around? Can they finally not let Carius go off? Game is on ESPN3

Tougher yes, but the good news it that 4 of those games are at home. Omaha only has one home game left. They can win the game in Western if they continue their solid play. If they can get that and the St. Thomas game at home, then they should only need to win 1 of 3 against KC, ORU, and NDSU to really feel safe.

That one did hurt. Then they would be tied and with the schedule the way it is, would have been pretty good shot of getting to SF. They may need to get 3. UNDs position can be greatly helped with a win on Saturday.

Bench play has really started to come together for UND, they have a tight rotation now if Davis can keep this play up. Really has found her stroke in the last two games. Great night from Orth and Lane.

Winnable game against Western on Saturday. If they can win that one: Game on to get to Sioux Falls.

Western holds on to win in Fargo. A UND win on Saturday means they will finish no worse than 5th.

2 in a row!
