I had those comps in my mind last night but thought it was a bridge too far. If he is half as good as those 2, UND will take it.

ORU did everything they could to give that game away. NDSU, like the champs they are, went down swinging.

Zags are going into the NCAA tournament with an undefeated record. If Mark Few doesn't get this done with this team....

We have a game now

NDSU only down 11 with 8 to go. They are one good push away from making this truly a game.

Bison had a push but ORU is reasserting control now

ORU is all over NDSU right now. Some teams just know its their time. Right now ORU knows that it is their time.

DV wins. Bruns had 27 points

I think the lead is getting buried here with the NHL coming back to ESPN. It means one of the best intro in sports could be coming back. NHL on ESPN Theme - YouTube

Sather needs to start working on getting the younger Bruns on board as well.

What are your thoughts of Bruns? You think he can be a good player in the Summit eventually?

I like Bruns' game. He plays within the system, doesn't force things. Has a nice little turnaround jumper in the post. Good body control.

I'm ready for this weekend. UND needs to win this one and to continue their push. Change the narrative.

I think the Dakota Monopoly ends tonight. I'll take ORU by 6. Abmas hasn't gone off from 3 yet... hes due.

I think Centerville is closer to N. Sioux City (where Dakota Valley is) than Sisseton, but I get the point they are trying to do. I do like their setup that allows stronger regions to have more than 1 team make it to state potentially instead of having 1 team from every region.

Doesn't look like it

South Dakota high school basketball: Class A & B boys state qualifiers (argusleader.com) This link has the streams for the SoDak 16 tonight if anyone wants to check out Bruns. They take on the Redman of Sisseton for the right to go to state.

I could see a very similar situation happening to DU that happened to WIU last year. Hines Jr also in the portal and he was their 3rd best player and one of the better freshman in the conference.

As promised, the thread for the new season is up. Lots of up and downs from last year, but lots of players coming back for Year 3 of the Sather Project.

It is going to be an interesting offseason, especially with the now rumored 1 time transfer rule that might happened for the 21-22 season. USD is the biggest question mark. If Umude decides to go make $$$ and AJ isn't ready to go, UND can get into the top 4 next year.

ORU nips SDSU at the buzzer 90-88 That was a classic

Offense and talent has never been an issue, it has always been consistency and defense with them. It might be their time at last

ORU and SDSU are in a slugfest right now

Right now NDSU, ORU and SDSU will have their best players returning. USD is the wild card with Umude and how quick AJ comes back from his knee injury. KC has questions with McKissic as well. WIU will take another step in Year 2 under Jeter. Denver will be rebuilding. Omaha just had their best guard enter the transfer portal today and Pile isn't coming back. St. Thomas, who knows how good they will be in Year 1.

I think Ihenacho can develop into that player, but he needs to develop his jump shot a little more and he cannot shoot 55% from the free throw line again.
