and hitting Shanks and turning it over half the time it seems

ok.... UND 27 Weber 23 3:59 1st Critical point here for UND, need to finish this off strong

Weber clanking free throws

nothing really that Avants could have done there.. except fall

the brick wall is stoning Weber's drives and causing turnovers. great D by Shanks

its a good problem to have, but need to tone the aggressiveness on the ball a bit on D

3 ball for Corey

both teams have taken a little control of the game at times but nobody has clearly established the upper hand yet.

UND 22 Weber 19 7:50 1st

Avants with 2nd effort points

Geno almost gets a steal but then gets rung for his 2nd foul

that was much better Shanks

Geno and Hooker shooting well, not so much everyone else

Weber 15 UND 14 11:171st

Weber 6-0 run, ended on a Geno 3

oh god Shanks, what was that?

UND 7 Weber 5 15:06 1st

Geno lulled them to sleep on that steal and dunk

Another good result for UND as MSU beat Sac State by 3. If UND wins and the Griz lose they can lock up a top 3 seed tonight SUU beats NAU

Thought this was the final year of Idalski's deal? Women did win their final regular season home game 3-2

UND/UNC II should be pretty good next week. Women comfortably ahead against Weber late in the 4th

EWU takes down Idaho 77-67. Another result that helps UND get 1 step closer to a top 3 seed

Maybe they want the Kelley approach to the problem... oh wait, we all know what happened there

UND began their last road trip of the season last night with a 16 point win over ISU. Only 6 players scored for UND but 5 of them were in double figures as Geno, Drick, Q, Baldwin and Seales all had solid nights. Now its on to the rematch. First place is on the line when UND travels down the Weber. Its really simple: The winner of this game is more than likely going to go into Reno as the number 1 seed. Either UND is going to leave with a 1/2 game lead and the head-to-head tiebreaker over Weber, or Weber is going to have a 1.5 game lead. I don't see UND losing again if they beat Weber and I don't see Weber losing 3 out of 4 the rest of the way if they beat UND. In the 6 point win at home, it was a two man show for UND with Geno and Q piling in 53 out of UND's 83 points. The difference in the past month for UND has been the emergence of Seales off the bench, who has averages of 11.4 points and 5.4 rebounds off the bench in his last 7 games. One promising trend for Weber has been the play of their big guy Braxton, who in his last 4 games is nearly averaging a double-double with 16.3 ppg and 9.8 rpg. Both teams have had some evolution since the previous matchup but the key will once again be the stars of Q and Senglin, which this game could also decide who gets the Big Sky POY at the end of the year. This is the 12th meeting in Big Sky play between the two teams. UND is 2-9 all time and 0-3 in Weber. UND has a chance to match their total wins from last year and the most Big Sky wins they ever had since moving to the conference. Other Games: Idaho (8-5) @ EWU (9-4) *Tonight Critical clash between 3rd and 4th ranked teams in the conference. EWU with a chance to gain the tiebreaker and have a 2 game lead for the all important 3rd seed. Idaho needs to steal one on the road to make things interesting down the stretch (and avoid the MSU/Montana/SAC mess for the final bye) with Weber and ISU visiting next week for both squads. Sac (7-6) @ MSU (8-6) In the previous thread, I stated that this was an opportunity for Sac State to get back in the race for the final bye. Well sweeping the Griz and being a half game back is a great start. Now they need to avoid what happened last time and take care of business in Bozeman, where MSU got an OT victory over PSU last night. With the Hornets remaining schedule, if they can swipe this one on the road (with their toughest game left in Grand Forks), Sac State would be in the driver seat for the last spot. MSU has a chance to gain a critical tiebreak with a sweep of Sac State. Bobcats next two games will go a long way to determining if they are going to get that last bye of not (they host the GrIz next week). PSU (5-8) @ Montana (8-6) This is strange to state but this is a must win at home for the Griz after shockingly dropping one against Sac State last night. Portland had a tough loss in OT in Bozeman. The Viks are fading down the stretch as playing on day 1 is more and more likely unless they win out and get lots of help. Griz on the other hand need this one to keep pace with whoever comes out of the Sac State/MSU game as the winner. With their last 3 on the road against MSU/Weber/and ISU. They need this win or playing day 1 in Reno is a big possibility. UNC (4-10) @ ISU (3-10). ISU lost once again to UND and UNC nearly pulled off the upset at Weber. Its been bad news for UNC this week as not only were they denied possible their defining win in a trying year but the full extend of the NCAA investigation was revealed. UNC could be in serious hot water for the next few years. Have 4 games left in their season and looking to play any team tough down the stretch. ISU just needs to start piling up wins to position themselves better for day 1 in Reno SUU (2-11) @ NAU (4-9) Travel partner matchup with actually some implications. SUU has a chance to sweep a season series and potentially be tied with ISU and NAU trying to perhaps pass PSU for the 8th spot. Both teams are playing day 1 in Reno but they both can start the preparations. Results that will help UND for seeding purposes: -EWU over Idaho -PSU over Griz The call: This is without question the biggest game in UND's brief history in the Big Sky (yes, even bigger than the BSC title game in 2014). UND is going to need a similar effort put out against Idaho last weekend to pull this one off. It is imperative that UND gets off to good starts in halves and finishes strong. The first and last 5 of halves will be critical. Weber should still be favored in this despite their less than impressive win against UNC and Senglin's struggles. This game will once again come down to one person: Geno Crandall. If he plays like he did against Weber in Grand Forks UND is coming out with a win. If he throws up a clunker, Weber is going to hold serve at home. Sometimes you just have a feeling about a team when it is their time.... I think its finally UNDs time. Q and Geno bring home UNDs biggest Big Sky win ever and heads back home in 1st place. UND 81-77
