  1. Can you imagine what would happen if Germany knocks off Canada after what had happen not only in women’s hockey but now in curling?
  2. YES! YES! YES! Now extends Canada’s misery by winning in curling in 4 hours
  3. Well here is a chance for them to get above average
  4. The nemsis of US Hockey gives Canada the lead
  5. 1 for 4 on the PP isn't going to get it done
  6. Hope that can loosen them up a little bit, otherwise Canada will take advantage.
  7. Say the US wins the gold tonight, would the Lammys call it good for Olympic competition or would they try to make it again for 2022?
  8. It would get the Summit back to 10, add a decent WBB and VB school. MBB program would be ok. Travel partner for Denver. I'd take them over UMKC because I'm down on retreads and even they have issues as to whether they are going down to DII or not. (I'd get the whole NCC 2.0 thing but as a athletic program they are much better than UMKC). Realistically, those are the only two options to me. If it was possible, but likely a pipedream, I'd reach out to NMSU but they wouldn't want to leave the WAC unless it further de-stabilized (would solve the Summit baseball issue, add a great MBB school to strengthen the Summit, pair a great travel partner to either ORU or Denver). A bigger pipedream would have been the Montana Schools. Of course the Summit would need to stay at 9 and who knows how long they would stay that way.
  9. A better question is how the Summit is going to get to 10 without bringing in a retread (looking at you Kangaroos....)
  10. Honestly, if they got someone to take UNC off of their hands they can go to 10/12 and be good.
  11. Now that the matchup is set up, there is no more excuses. Beat Canada when it matters most. I don't care how its done, they need to win. They have been waiting 4 years for this moment. That is all we have been hearing about. Bringing back Silver again is not acceptable, its time to break through for gold.
  12. Let’s say for the sake of the argument he does leave. Then what? UND try for the Minot Prez again? With the state law changed to only show finalists will the pool change? legacy? Well I drive by a lot of his legacy every day in the cities, the amount of promotion they have done down here is amazing. When I first moved down there 2 years ago there was barely anything! Funny what happens when you get $$$ to advertise (which they got ripped for) He’s better than Kelley and it’s not even close.
  13. It wasn't pretty, and lets be honest it was downright ugly at times. However, UND got the results they wanted, which was two wins at home. They only play once this weekend against Northern Colorado and not only will be the final home game of the regular season, but will be the final home game in the Big Sky Conference. These games as been historically close and the first matchup was no different. A half-court shot at the buzzer was the difference in the game between the two teams and did send UND in a bit of a tailspin. With the rematch upcoming, should we expect anything different? Honoring the Senior: Dale Jones On Saturday, UND will honor the only senior on the team. The Grad Transfer from Iowa provided a punch from the post and another individual that could stretch the floor (and it was nice to see a big make free throws). He provided production from a position of need. His career was defined by several injuries but he stayed healthy (minus 1 game) and he can leave with the understanding that his career will end on a good note. Road to Reno Storylines: 1) The race for the top seed is heating up: The weekend was the first test for the Griz, and they failed. Not only did they get swept by Idaho/EWU, they won both of their games and Weber won their two. So instead of a easy road to a one seed, there is a now a three team race for the top seed. Montana is still favored with all three games at home. Weber and Idaho will clash on Saturday for a critical tiebreaker for the 2nd seed. Montana also will clash with Weber in the final weekend 2) Who will get the final first round bye Minus a dramatic collapse of Weber or Idaho state, the first three byes are set for Reno. EWU and UNC are in a fierce battle for the final bye. The schedule heavily favors EWU in the final weekend (home against SUU/NAU) but this weekend favors UNC (road trip to UND). ISU,PSU, and MSU still have realistic chances, but they would probably need to win out and get some big help. 3) What has happened to MSU? If you want the most disappointing team of the year? Look right in Bozeman. Started off 4-0 in conference play and now are 2-9 since then. With all the expectations coming it, they have struggled to live up to them and will be a Day 1 Reno team once again. They are still dangerous and can make a run... but they also look like a team that could lose in Day 1. The call: UNC is still playing for a lot, as they have a chance at a first round bye. UND is playing for position for Day 1 Reno, where they could still climb as high as a 6 seed if things broke right. This will be another nail biter and high scoring affair. It will be another great battle of the guards between Spright/Davis and Geno/Stewart. Being that this is the final BSC home game and UND is looking to build momentum towards Reno, I think they will play the role of spoiler and get a bit of revenge against the Bears UND 88-84 Predicted Standings after Saturday Griz 14-2 Weber 14-2 Idaho 12-4 EWU 10-6 UNC 9-7 PSU 8-8 ISU 7-9 UND 6-10 MSU 6-10 SUU 5-11 SAC 3-13 NAU 1-15
  14. Couldn’t ask for a better 20.
