Can't wait for the soundbites on this one

Its a bad look for both, but coming off of what happened with NDSU doesn't help UND in this case. Iowa coach is a known tool with a history of pulling stunts like this

What happened with Seales?

Drick might mess around and get another triple double

I see Avants has started where he left off the NDSU game, he has 8.

Unfortunately I've suffered watching those games against UNO, including the CIT "lets everyone phone it in except Hobaugh" matchup in 2014. Expected underdogs yes, but I just feel that this is a great opportunity to pick off a P5 squad and it can be done. This isn't 2013-14 Wisconsin we're dealing with here (curse you Frank the Tank). Hooker is due for a breakout performance.

What do you when you run the table in conference? As Steely Dan once sang: You go back, jack, do it again For playoffs? Bubba has improve the record of the team by two games ever year. So the battle cry should be once playoff start Be two games better, twice. Why not us, why not 2017-18 season?

That Iowa is very average and this is without question the best chance for UND to knock off a P5 team and UND has the player talent to do it. It's my expectation for them to win. Despite the coaching. If Omaha can beat these guys why can't UND?

UND looks to turn the page after, lets just say, a not so good performance at home against the arch rival. This is not the Iowa team of last year, but they do have an explosive weapon in Peter Jok, who is averaging 23.5 ppg. Very versatile and lights out from the line. Cordell Pemsl isn't flashy but shooting an eye popping 77% from the field (averages about 10 a game) They did beat UNI by 23 on Saturday but lost to Omaha by 9 earlier this year This is a winnable game. Last chance to get some momentum going into conference play. Time to knock a power 5 school off the mantle

and that was with bad weather too last year lack of students due to them leaving for semester break didn't help either, but the ones who were there appeared to be quiet.

Given their schedule I not entirely sure they will hang on to home ice (13 points isn't that much to overcome where series are worth 6). Its frustrating to me being that there is more than enough talent to not have these issues. Even back in the Lammy/Special K days there was the occasional stumble against MSU. I understand that even the best opponent can be beaten by an underdog, but in UND case they have a very small margin of error if they are not getting the wins against the Gophers and Badgers. Even in the most successful year (2012-2013) if Parizak doesn't bury that game winner against Bemidji, they don't get in to the NCAAs due to earlier stumbles against MSU and OSU back in October. Even though they beat the Badgers twice that year, went 3-0-1 against UMD, and split against a top 10 team in Clarkston. Even with 3 top players out playing for national teams, I would still expect them to beat a 3 win Lindenwood team. With Duluth having a nice year, its shrinks the margin even more. Did the program grow under Idalski, I can't disagree with that. However, stagnation in a program is never good and it is time for a new voice if Idalski doesn't make the NCAAs.

I will give credit to one and only one UND player, Connor Avants. He had a great game, UND finally might have an answer at post for the first time since Brekke

They split with Lindenwood this weekend. A 3 win Lindenwood...... No less than winning the WCHA tourney will get them in the NCAA tournament and save Idalski's job

Didn't show Horner and Richman exchanging words, but those two, as Cratter said, hugged it out in the handshake line.

I can't disagree, NDSU switched away from the weave and UND never figured it out

Anyone think Geno or Collins gets suspended for Iowa game?

That could have been way worse

well, this should raise the stakes about 10 fold next year

Geno and Collins left the bench area during the scuffle

Richman and Horner exchanged words

just call this game

uh oh... getting ugly

Outside of Avants and maybe Seales tonight, everybody struggled.

Cue Bill We're onto Iowa

Can UND cut it to 7 or 6 here?
