UND up 12 midway through the 2nd quarter against a bad Siena squad. Hitting shots from the outside, but the turnovers are preventing this from being a runaway

Didn't watch, but read a tweet from Michaels that hinted that UND might have gotten shafted.

Hey, got my wish!

It has been a tough few games for the team. Lets hope for a bounce back, get some people healthy and back into shooting rhythm before their trip over to Cali. Should be able to finally watch and follow along.

About Kansas State: To describe the Bruce Weber Era accurately, you have to go through some highs and lows during his 9 years. The highs have been 2 Big 12 regular season championships, 5 NCAA tournament appearances, and 1 magical run to the Elite 8. The lows haven't been very pretty however and right now, they are in the middle of one right now. After a 25 win season in 2018-19, they couldn't get to 25 wins in 2 seasons combined! The wheels have completely fallen off the past two years. However, the program appears to be building something with a crop of young players, ready to make a move back up the rugged Big 12. So far this year, a pair of 8 point losses to a ranked Arkansas and Illinois squads, and two wins against Omaha and Florida A & M. About Bruce Weber (485-287 overall record, 172-132 at KSU, 76-86 in the Big 12 The Former SIU and Illinois head coach is certainly putting a resume that could one day land him in the College Basketball Hall of Fame. He has taken all 3 of his teams to at least the Sweet 16 and nearly won it all with the Illini in 2004-05. His 3rd act at KSU certainly has had its moments. 5 trips to the NCAA tournament and a trip to the Elite 8. All of which has been good, expect a few issues. Outside of that Elite 8 run, no NCAA tournament wins. He took over the program from a popular coach (Frank Martin), and while has done well, hasn't matched the NCAA tournament success that Martin had. Lastly, the last two years have been rough with bottom of the barrel finishes in the Big 12. The good news, it is a young squad and can improve. However, that improvement needs to start happening. Key Player: Nijel Pack (Sophomore Guard, 6' 180) After a solid freshman campaign, the young guard continues to impress and should make his way onto some All Big 12 post-season squads if he can keep the numbers up. So far this season, he is averaging 15.5 ppg and averaging close to 3 assists and 3 rebounds. His shooting has looked better, shooting near 50% from the field and 43% from 3. He is also perfect from the free throw line (albeit it 9 of 9). The guards are going to have their hands full. Series History: KSU has an 2-0 lead against UND Keys: 1) Play a good 40 2) Get the shooters going again 3) Handle the size down low 4) Stay out of foul trouble Bigs. The Call: If this was a more seasoned UND team, I would give them a halfway shot of going into the Ocatgon and getting a win. However, I think this is a team that is still figuring things out and hopefully a few days rest at home and to heal up some nagging injuries. I think they keep taking steps forward on both ends of the floor, but Kansas State will do just enough. KSU 77-64 Game is on ESPN+

I'd say long term, yes. Once he gets the defensive side of the ball down, he will be special. Norman certainly has been solid, especially when he gets going from 3.

The day that happens will be the day I buy a gaming system once again. Throw basketball in there and we are set.

I've been following some of our transfers from last year and outside of Rebraca* and G (who is playing very well at Mary), no one is really lighting it up so far.. or even made it on the court *If only his grad program was in-person at UND..... sigh

With 2 clunkers thrown in there, If they can get that to around 38-40% for the year, that would be solid. That 2nd number is concerning and that has to change going forward. FAU and UT Martin got too many open looks for 3. Perimeter and close out defense needs to be better. If there is a one thing that needs to get better immediate, it is that part of the defense. That will come in time.

T has been okay, 7.6 ppg and 6.2 rpg isn't a bad stat line. He took a nice step forward in the FAU tournament, hope that he can build on it. I think he will get better as the season goes along. I agree with Mathews, come conference time he will be a different player. Grant can shoot it a little bit. He has been up and down. I wish they had kept the redshirt on him but I understood why they took it off after Igbanugo got hurt.

I think that was the question, but @SIOUXFAN97can clarify. I don't have mine 1-4, but these are the 4 that have made solid impact to start.

I remember watching that Thursday game, I wish they got to 10

This bothers me more.
