If UND is going to be in the Big Sky tourney, they need this one. They have made some improvements since they first matched up with Montana, Shanks has gotten his legs underneath him, Hooker has been solid.
We need to defend home court in this one, anything less than a sweep is unacceptable. Splitting does nothing and losing both pretty much will end any serious hopes of getting in. (we would need to win out, which would mean sweep 3 out of 5 on the road, including UNC, SAC and PSU).
