Well, of course not...but they didn't. And had they snuck into the tourney it's not a given by any means they would have won two straight, which rarely happened following Christmas (heck, I don't think we beat any avg/mediocre teams two straight).

Huh? She had to be like 2nd on the team (per game, was out several with injury) I would think for minutes played so not sure that's true.

$70 total both days/2 seats?

Sure, they played St Cloud and Denver tough but they also had a had a nasty habit of normally playing to the level of the team they played, whether it be Union, Bemidji, Miami, CC, etc. I suppose you could translate that to UND being an average hockey team this season.

Luapsided and NoiceinsideMhyHead, your both said it very well.

Class/cool, certainly not--agree. But on another matter, "MI smoked UND"??? They were very fortunate they beat the Sioux but "smoked", WTH were you smoking at the game??? I was at that semi-final game, UND was a VERY, VERY GOOD team that season and should of won their 8th natty (for you St Clown fans that's a national title in case you don't know) that season. The Soiux dominated Mich in the semi-final, out-shooting them like 40-20 and hitting 2 pipes but it was just one of those games (quite common in hockey) where you shake your head and say WTF when it's over.

Yah, and like the first time in 15 years we don't make the NCAA tourney. You gotta make the tourney in order to win a natty.

I'm an East Sider so no axe to grind on this topic but a GF bud of mine (his kids went to Red River) mentioned yesterday UND lately seems to go after just Central guys but not RR players and the RR players have gone elsewhere and are having some success. Any merit to this statement or just rivalry pettiness?

If it comes down to that, Jones can score (no pun intended) so keep him. Hopefully both can stay though.

Well, that's just an assumption but if you don't even make it to the NCAA tourney then it's 100% given you don't hang a banner.

They should look into putting ice in Alerus Center so we could bid that for regional (the next step is then making it).

I ain't very optimistic at all about next season's team (offense specifically) if Wolannin and Gersich depart leave early, our offense will leave a lot to be desired unless a few of this year's freshmen step it up and our other non-senior (this season) forwards step up their goal scoring/finishing skills. Our Fin, Norwegian, EGF'r, and Roseau lad score goals at about the same rate as some defensive defensemen.

I've always said if I was told I had 10 minutes to live I would want to be at a televised close basketball game cus with all the called and media timeouts it takes an eternity. My God coaches, let them play.

Man, that just blows my mind. As good as men's hoops is at S Dak St (#12 seed in NCAA tourney) and they barely average 1/4 (all games) of what UND averages attendance-wise for ice hockey. Wow, speaks volumes about UND hockey support/fan base in GF area.

I AGREE, I SAW IT AND ON FIRST VIEW I SHOUTED "KICKING MOTION, NO GOAL". LIKE YOU SAID, DU PLAYER DIDN'T EVEN CELEBRATE IT WAS SO OBVIOUS. NO WONDER CC COACH WAS SO PISSED, WOW.

No offense (no pun intended) but he's only an Olympian forward cus he plays for Norway (think Jamaican bobsled team and Eddie the Eagle for England).

Typical stat line on games this season (although several were at least 20+ turnovers), hard to win that way.

Hindsight is 22-20 I realize but they got so painful to watch I quit watching them the last 5 or 6 games. Got tired of watching countless, mindless, dumb unforced turnovers, poor 36% shooting, no 3pt consistency, etc. Painful.

Brew did just like Berry this season, opposite of 2nd half surge.

A buddy of mine was inquiring on Brew's contract situation, anybody know?

They had better not lose on Friday cus they sure as hell would have trouble winning back to back/two in a row on Sat and Sun. That ain't happened for long time...

Keep it as is. They should also play Chelsea Dagger following every home win.

I have been watching UND lady hoops for 30 years now but I honestly am almost getting to where I can't stomach it anymore. The poor decision making and ungodly like number of turn-overs is just ridiculous that you see coming from a women's d-1 team. You just can't win when you avg 20 turnovers and 36% shooting. They gotta make a few changes next season.

Against a team that really had nothing to play for and one with everything to play for.

Are Clarkson's Olympians dwarfs?
