Not to be Debbie Downer but thetrouble is in hoops, not that I'm not tipping my cap big-time to UND if they do win the BSC regular season title (men and/or women), is that this conf is one-entry only into NCAA tourney. Winning the regular season conf title is nice and helps you seeding-wise in the BSC tourney but, if you don't win that, then it's all for naught. Barring some kind of miracle, two teams from the BSC will not advance to the NCAA tourney.

HAH, football talk!

It helps having two BSC 1st teamers in Q and Crandall. Plus, diff this year is this team (barring Brick) for most part makes free throws to win the close one's at games end. You have great/good scorers in Q and Geno and then add in Baldwin, Cortes, Avants and Bernstine (the Shankster occasionally) chipping in with some good scoring numbers in random games and you have nice production most nights.

Damn, the fg shooting % really surprises me. I guess all the other things he doesn't do so well distorts our thinking on his shooting ability. Maybe it cus he's 7 ft tall and majority of his shots are from within 5 ft but he's still only making half of them despite a decided height advantage most games.

Haks had his critics for failing to win a natty but at least his teams always, always improved as the season went on. Basically the opposite this season though.

Tim's a great play by play guy but I've noticed lately his voice sounds like he's aged 25 years. I keep wanting him to cough or clear his throat, I guess we all get older.

You sure it's not the Loch Ness Monster?

Spot on analysis.

UND was in the Frozen 4 at Xcel in 2011, one of their best teams ever but suffered hard to swallow semi-final loss vs Mich (Duluth won it all).

Hmm, the LIL6 has a conf tv contract, Minn by far the biggest name and viewers. No doubt the refs were impartial/unbiased and not pressured by the tv powers to be sure to help out in the Goofers cause. My God, the wolves guarding the hen house.

No doubt, decent.

Only the Shankster could do that...Had a nice game though by his standards.

Based on the # fans for last Sat game, I would have to say darn near 2,500 I would think.

Geno always has 1 or 2 silly fouls each game, usually reaching in. Needs to fix that problem as with Hooker gone next season we can ill afford to have Geno having to sit out extended periods.

Agree 100% with you. Goofs, no matter the season, have nice PPs.

Uh, it's not just you.

Obviously too late now but they should have done $1 dollar night (they do it for lady hockey vs Min) and had free pizza for students (that's what it takes now for them to attend hoops) for Sat game vs Idaho and played it at the Ralph. Even if they only got 5K fans (arena near half full) to attend that's better than 2,500 at the Betty.

Cus we all go to hoops to watch foul calls and free throws, it's so exciting.

Was at the game at that same end and saw that. If anything, I thought they goofed by not calling a foul on the player Avants "fouled". At worst, no call. Do agree, don't envy them and give these refs credit for doing the job, but I've seen some horribly called games at the Betty this season.

"Dome"? Looks more like an arena to me but I'm certainly no A & E expert.

Not sure how based on my comment you can even assume I've not (or have for that matter) attended a WH game? Sounds like you're on the offensive against me w/o any facts? What I stated was mostly factual, nothing to do with fan attendance, popularity, etc. What's your point/connection? I even said they're a good/decent team, wish it was better, and yet you seem to be piling on me. What gives?

So nobody has commented on UND women's hockey since a month ago? Just shows you the state it's in, at least here at UND. I really wish it was better, good/decent team but for like a dozen or more years now can't clear that last hurdle.

Hmm, very interesting. Not one Goofer player?

Agree! No political bs put out there by Lady Gaga (I'd say that too if it had been Ted Nugent on state at SB halftime show). Und sports pleeeeze...

Yeah, baby!
