Good question. Would rather see her in there vs Knox. Knox scares me against the press although admittedly did better against it tonight than previously this season.

Simple question but would have to fire Jones first based on the resume.

He did look like a whiner on the sideline but then UND's coach can be a whiney one too. I think the 1,263 was probably accurate/fairly close, not a large crowd by any means. I thought it was great to get another home game although I'm guessing UND took a financial hit on it but probably felt it was worth the hit in the long run perhaps.

Wow, surprising. Then he needs to shoot more treys...not less. Yeah, I saw him. He was a hoot at times. My guess he may have said a few words that weren't exactly appropriate for a public area but that's just a hunch.

You're missing he point though. It's nothing to do with home many games Johnson missed but how many games he played to at least have a large enough sample size so to speak (like requiring say 475 at bats to win the batting average crown in MLB) to measure one's season. Johnson played 28 games while Vesey played 30 games so just 2 less games. Basically Johnson played enough games to measure his season. If one says 28 games isn't enough then quite possibly one could say 30 games isn't enough either.

Hey, thx for the info. Although a big Sioux hockey fan, I keep track of Mankato as daughter is a frosh there and would love to see MSU join us in the NCHC (if they desire to do that), seems like a real decent program and half-decent rivalry with UND was forming over the last decade or so prior to big WCHA bust-up.

Good notes. Yah, other than Q Hook and Crandall & McBuckets at times, everybody else's ft shooting is woeful--these guys each need to shoot 200 fts a day over the off-season. Man, Crandall can sky, incredible air. One real bad foul I recall tonight was at about the 40 second mark and believe we're up by 2 or 3 and Bernstein fouls an Anteater a bit above the 3 pt line when he starts to try to go around him, I just didn't get that (guy made 1 of 2 fts I think).

Believe he said UND would win the Big Sky Conf.

No disrespect but doesn't SDSU play all their Summit League post-season hoops conf tourney games basically at home?

Yeah, good point. If my boss wasn't gone I no doubt would be there (I'm filling in). If the Sioux win though on Fri I do plan to be there Sat night.

I get ya but I thought it was all about routine/sameness so 24 hrs between games like during the season on back to back nights...Last year at Target Center I believe the Sioux played at 4:00 Fri and it wasn't pretty.

Hope UND doesn't come up "short".

At my job not too hard to get Fri afternoon but this year hard get all day Fri in order to make 4:00 game, likely won't happen. Don't understand logic at all in picking 4:00 vs evening game for fan purposes.

MN Goofers--Duluth, St Cloud, Mankato & Bemidji rejects.

Or after we swept a decent UMD 4 games to 0 this season. Yeah, maybe.

Ditto, spot on analysis. These past 2 wknds we stepped on throats of 2 inferior opponents. While that may sound to some like what's the big deal, during this season in particular games we struggled/had tough go at its against not so very good teams Maine (neutral site tie), Bemidji (road tie), Wis (HOME loss), Ala-Huntsville (1-0 UND home win) and CC (5-5 home tie). Blowing out CC and W Mich last wknd was no foregone conclusion (see proceeding sentence) but UND did just that, taking care of and doing what they needed to do and what was expected.

Hey, the Edina freshman was the 3rd good young player. Quick and high energy and made some mid-range jumpers and driving to the basket making some hoops. Along with the Denver transfer, we have the NDSU gal who transferred assuming she'll be healthy. I believe she's a forward, she should do fine for us.

Fire Haks!

They're good but we beat them at home so no reason we can't beat them on a neutral court!

Sadly (the name), yes. Understandable.

Hey, sorry, I realize this ain't the UND women's hoops thread but any update on extent of Roscoe's injury yesterday?

Any news at all on Roscoe's injury status?

Exactly but 80% of the time he tries to move to the basket/put up a shot and 7 times out of 10 he has the ball stripped or he misses.

You know, I tried to watch women's hockey (Sioux) and did several times over the years but as much as I've really tried I just can't get into it like I do men's hockey. The reason? No checking. Yes, supporters will argue there's body contact but there's no hard hits/checking, which makes no sense. It's females on females so allow it (why not?). Hockey is a great sport to watch because it's both fast and physical but that second element is missing from women's hockey. I go to UND women's basketball as much as I attend the men's games, coach girls youth soccer and watch the US national women's soccer team games and I enjoy them just as much as on the men's sides for those sports. So no, I'm not at anti-women sports. So why do I differ when it comes to viewing hockey? Cus the game is not fundamentally the same when it comes to hockey. It is what it is.
