Joco misses a Penalty shot....

2-0 Canada

1-0 Canada

and if they get humiliated the same way, what will be the reaction? If the NHL will not provide players for 2022, how can the US adapt to avoid this being the new normal? The only thing right now that USMNT got out of that was a epic rant.

Can they afford to do that? If no one else comes in that is a big, UND is looking at Avants and Walter starting with Franken backing them up as the "bigs" next year.

UND had a tough weekend that ended with a thud in losing to ISU for the first time in BSC play. They go home for the last time this season to start a 3 game homestand. First up is the T-Birds from Southern Utah, who have shown some signs of improvement. About SUU: 2nd year coach Todd Simon has improved the T-Birds from a year ago. Last year it was the Randy O show and it resulted in a 6-27 season (however, they did get a win in the BSC tourney against MSU), now with the addition of transfers and other recruits, it is a more balanced team in scoring and has resulted in a 4 game improvement so far for the T-Birds. They have been much more competitive this year than last year. However, you are what your record is and it has not necessarily reflected this in conference play. They still will be a Day 1 team in Reno, but if they can have another good year of getting players they could finally start climbing the Big Sky ladder. Key Players: Dwayne Morgan and Jamal Aytes SUU is transfer heavy and these two have been impact transfers for the T-Birds. The Transfer from UNLV, Morgan, has been a solid addition for the Spring semester giving them a decent rebounder and a double-digit scorer. He is a guy that is more than capable of getting 20+ points and 10+ rebounds. The BYU transfer, Aytes, is a 6'6 forward that is also a solid rebounder and scorer of the basketball. UND is going to have to know where these guys are at all times on both sides of the ball Series Matchup: In BSC play, UND is 8-2 against SUU, including a 3-1 record in Grand Forks. They also hold a 2-0 record in conference tournaments against SUU. Griz (13-0) @ EWU (7-5) *Game of the night The Griz have managed to pass every test they have seen so far, now things get interesting this weekend. First off is a trip to Cheney to take on a tough EWU squad. EWU is trying to fight off UNC, Idaho State and PSU for the final Bye for Reno and a win against the Griz can go along way in the tiebreakers and in the standings. Will EWU get that signature win or will the Griz get to 14-0? Cats (6-7) @ Idaho (9-3) Before the season started, this was looked at as a potential matchup to determined the number 1 seed. Now? The Cats are trying to avoid playing Day 1 in Reno and turn around their disappointing season before it crashes and burns. Idaho is in good shape for a first round bye and are only 1 game back of Weber of the 2 seed. The losses to UNC have been the difference between challenging for a 1 seed verses battling for the 2. They get their shot at the Griz on Saturday, but they would like to keep the Cat misery going. Hall vs Sanders will be a great guard matchup. Weber (10-2) @ PSU (5-7) Weber is still within striking distance of the top seed for Reno and comfortable in position to clinch a first round bye (a sweep this weekend combined with a UNC and ISU loss will do the trick), but they need to keep winning and hope the Griz finally slip up this weekend. However, traditionally this has been a tricky road trip for Weber and PSU will make it very difficult for anybody coming in, plus they still have an outside shot at getting a first round bye if they win out and get some help. ISU (6-6) @ SAC (3-9) ISU is one game back from a first round bye and they know how big a road sweep would be for them. Sac State will be giving them all they can handle as they start to prep for day 1 in Reno. Can the Bengals avoid the trap? NAU (1-11) @ UNC (7-6) The last two home games for the Bears and you couldn't ask for anything better with two of the bottom teams in the conference... but you have to take advantage if you want to be in the running for the first round bye. NAU is looking to spoil the season the rest of the way and if UNC is not careful, this could be a Day 1 matchup in Reno. The Call: The schedule the rest of the way is favorable for UND, however... they need to take advantage of this. Anything less than two wins this weekend is unacceptable. SUU is an improved squad and better talent overall than last year and UND will look at what happened last week with a bad taste in their mouths. I expect the guards to rebound from their poor performance against ISU and Avants to be solid. UND 83-77

I mostly agree, but the Fins have a goalie capable of stealing one in Raty. So they have a punchers chance. The US needs to win gold this year. No excuses, they are the better team.

Nice job Bettman.....

You think that's bad, wait until 2022 when China has a team.....

If the men's team actually medals this year, it would be a pretty big deal right?

So fake classes are okay but writing papers for football players are not.

The other ND has some very choice words for the NCAA today. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/notre-dames-eye-opening-ncaa-rebuke-could-be-the-tipping-point-of-an-avalanche/

The Fins are very capable of stealing a spot in the gold medal game if their goalie is locked in.

How did this thread get dredged up from July 2015? Can we send it to the scrap heap of history mods?

I wonder how much that knee injury has impacted her.

Bison are still getting drummed on a nightly basis, they still have a ways to go. I do agree with the rest, UND is going to have to figure something out for next year.

UND played very badly. Turned it over 20 times, defense and rebounding was suspect, outside of Geno the guards didn't show up. As much as I love Dale and Avants, if they are the next leading scorers, that's a problem.

ISU 82 UND 67 Final

Bad loss bad performance

these officials shouldn't be d1 officials.

You might as well get your monies worth Jones.

Geno fouled out he is NOT happy

these officials are ridiculous #wedidntpaytoseeyou

TO UND ISU 75 UND 65 4:01 2nd will count as the media Geno has 25, he needs to have the offense run through him the rest of the way to have a chance.

is it so hard to rebound with 2 hands?
