UND put together another excellent preformance on both ends of the floor and came away with a 23 point win against the Pios. Now they get the slumping Mavs, who got the break beaten off of them in Fargo.
The Mavs are riding an 8 game losing streak since their win against UND back in January. They have had a few close calls but were not able to get over the hump. They still have the dangerous Frankie Fidler down low, who is certainly capable of winning a game all by himself when he is on. Omaha has historically done well against UND, but UND has finally scratched out a few wins against them.
Milestone Watch:
Matt Norman currently has 65 made 3s on the season. The UND D1 record for made 3 pointers in a season is 84 set by Quinton Hooker. With at least 5 games left in the season, Norman just needs to hit 4 3s a game in order to break it. He certainly is capable to doing that. He is also 6 3 pointers away from a tying for 10th on that same list.
Fun Stats:
-Norman has had 10 straight games of scoring double figures and is averaging 16.7 points per game in that stretch.
-T has had 7 straight games of scoring double figures and is averaging 16.1 poins per game in that stretch.
The call:
I think UND is playing very well in the last two games and have found something on both ends of the floor. Omaha put up a bad effort against NDSU so UND should expect a bounceback today. I think this is a game where Norman goes off, T does his damage down low and the defense puts it all together once again. UND makes it 3 in a row and gets the home sweep
UND 83-70
