Does anyone have a decent guess on how much a video board would cost? 30k? 50k? I have no idea.
-
I have always been puzzled why this wasn't built into the plan when they put up the building. From a priority standpoint, this should have been near the top. Sacrifice the leather seats for a scoreboard/video board for example. Should have been some way to chop out some cost. Strange.

Welcome to UND Wheeler!

I like that fact that it is a small venue - 5000 seats. I think we might be surprised at attendance at championship game. First round games - no so much. Would personally rather go to Reno than Billings.

Tyler is not coming back.
-
He will be eligible. Tough kid with good ball skills. Great motor and will be a good rebounder. Can stretch the floor out to the three and handles the ball pretty well. Well done UND staff!
-
Did he originally commit to Air Force?
Yes.
-
So I'm guessing it's next weekend he will be on?
Sounds like it.
-
Happy for Tyus. Worked for it and achieved it. A good story.
-
Walthall turned down one I believe
He will be at msum next year unless something crazy happens
And yes shay is a good recruiter.
Yes. Shay is a good coach/recruiter. If he leaves, he will be missed. Which job did Walthall turn down?
-
Without shay
We ain't getting him
Baker on campus either this weekend or the following. Speculated Shay departure has zero impact on whether or not Mr Baker chooses to transfer to und. Also waiting on information from you on the mid majors interviewing Walthall.
-
Rumor has it Wallthall is being contacted by some mid majors.
Which ones? Search on Twitter yields nothing.
-
good grief.

If I were Faison, I would not allow Jones to hire another assistant from the outside for next season, unless somebody else leaves. Promote Horner, and maybe add a grad assistant. I know of at least three other Big Sky schools that get by with three assistants: http://www.msubobcats.com/roster.aspx?path=mbball#coaches_anchor
Under the circumstances, that would seem to be the prudent move.
Why? How does this help your coach/team?

Nice part of the country. Work with his buddy. Low major like us. Probably make a few more bucks. Happy for him. Let's not make it something it's not.
-
It was worth it, Bubba has things turned around, too bad one program sinks another, in the 90's and early 2000's, the major programs were all flying high, hockey, M&W basketball, and football.
Wouldn't 1 year be a small sample size to say a coach has turned a program around? I like Bubba and believe he will do a nice job but too early to say he has turned the program around.
-
Tyler is graduating. He has a family. Wants to move home and start his life.
-
Yah....as did 5300+ others...mostly UND fans...with probably another 5000+ that would have come had there been seats.
Just keep working on that scoreboard thing for the Betty if that is a possible solution for the MBB program.
Just trying to make you chuckle. Sounds like you got, gee, well, defensive? Not a hockey fan.
-
Sorry?
Win or lose...it is fun to watch a UND team that competes and plays hard.
See that about 3 or 4 times a year from a BJ's squad.
Nah, sorry you felt compelled to attend a hockey game.
-
Too tired from enjoying the weekend of hockey in Fargo so can Art or hoopster please list the myriad of excuses as to why this current dumpster fire known as UND MBB is acceptable in its current state.
I'll need a good chuckle before heading to work tomorrow.............
Haha. Not gonna bite on that one. You can spin back about 50 pages if you like. Sorry about the hockey game though.
-
The Betty needs some minor upgrades. It is probably the 3rd best facility in the Big Sky. Ask any player, they love it.
We are so spoiled regarding facilities that it is almost nauseating.
Nice gym. Needs a scoreboard. Training facilities are subpar for sure. I think most players would tell you that as well. Gym has great possibilities though with a scoreboard.
-
Four Big Sky teams won 20 games this season.
Correct. 4/12. Ninth place team in Big 12 had 18. Conference record is standard in Big Sky.
-
Just a guess, but I suspect you would have a difficult time finding another division I coach, or division II for that matter, with as many as nine years at his current job without so much as a single 20-win season to his credit.
Probably wouldn't have to look to far outside of our league to find that since 20 win seasons are rare in BSC. I doubt Verlin has had a 20. Katz? Maybe this year.
-
Oh no you don't.....I knew someone was going to try and pull that. Not on my watch.
Of course Texas has different overall expectations vs. North Dakota (or even NDSU for that matter). But the same principles of excellence can be applied wherever you are. For UND, that means being perennial Big Sky conference contenders in both the regular season and in the post-season tournament, which will translate in NCAA tournament appearances and eventually some wins. The Cow College one hour south of here has established expectations like these and it is high time Faison and Kelley start doing the same around here.
Don't disagree one bit. Do disagree with the standard being yearly deep runs in ncaa tournament which is the standard at Texas.
The Betty Needs a Video Board (or two)
in Men's Basketball

This one works for me. 36 grand.
