Yes of course should have qualified it....also best RPI and Ken Pom ever....D2 ball is not in the same league as NCAA D1 basketball

yes it is and every sane person know it

independent of result...by far the best season ever for UND (D1 Level....Not D2 or NAIA) mens basketball, players and coaches deserve credit for job well done on and off the court..

UND 1pt Favorite.....need Q to have a big game

Idaho is tough because they rebound, make free throws and defend rarely beat themselves....UND needs to make 3s, push the pace and geno to stay out of foul trouble. Hayford is the coach most likely to land another coaching job...he put himself on the market last spring ...and picking up grad transfer stud Wiley keeps his winning record going strong...last season he picked up stud grad transfer McBroom ... He will need to grab another stud for next season or his team will drop quite a bit and his coaching stock will drop also . If Hall returns to MSU they will be a BSC contender with almost everyone back plus 2 D1 transfers...UNC has 2 redshirts both high level BSC players coming in next season plus everyone else back....they will have to trim their roster to ten tendered players again next season....Weber has 6'8 Breckott Chapman coming in next season ...a former ESPN Top 50 recruit will be by far the highest rated kid to play in BSC and a certain all league player....The BSC looks to be the strongest ever next season...

Garrett Franken, Atlantic (2017) — 21 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3P, 8-10 FT), five rebounds, three assists, four steals The future North Dakota Fighting Hawk showcased a little bit of everything in his arsenal in the Trojans’ quarterfinal loss. At 6-7, he’s an excellent ball handler who excels playing downhill. He did a nice job attacking the rim, getting into the paint and finishing with his length with either hand. A skilled playmaker, he’s a capable passer, can step out and hit from 3, and has the length and athleticism to defend multiple positions.

No chance Smith to UND he is not an idiot....made 200k at Neb in 2013...started at 185k at SD....Not at all interested in coaching for D1 peanuts at UND

beggars cant be choosy

if you and sue go

Getting to the CIT is great bang for the buck...for lowest paid D1 HC coach in BSC and D1 NCAA

“They’ve done this all year,” UND head coach Brian Jones, the Big Sky Coach of the Year, said. “I can’t explain it. We have won a lot of close games. It’s their chemistry, their connection together, their resiliency. Portland State is extremely talented. They have a lot of weapons offensively, they are athletic, they are fast. I felt they were going to be one of the more dangerous teams in this tournament. ” WOW

Weber and EW end up with better draws in BSC quarters than top seed UND

obviously yes as logical as 2+2=4...12 place pay correlates to 12th place program and number one pay correlates to having the number one program...Like most things in life you get what you put into it... like the guy who thinks the cook at white castle should get fired because the burgers are not as tasty as a smash burger

Football , Mens Hockey, Women's Basketball, Women's Hockey coaches all make more money than the Mens Basketball coaches...The AD department clearly makes a greater commitment to these sports and prioritizes them over and above mens baskteball....Any success that mens hoops has is a gift ...Not happy with mens hoops the beef belongs with the AD ....Jones has outperformed his last place salary Every Single Season...facts are facts....

Then UND will play in the NIT on March 14th

Weber St Fan...The reality is that we are paying $400,000 a year for a $140,000 per year position. The fact that we have to rely on private donations to make such payment each year makes it even more crazy. Randy is a great person, but he is over paid. And Scout is right Win Baby Win is justified. North Dakota just won the Big Sky regular season with the lowest paid coach in the conference, a difficult recruiting atmosphere and a fan base completely focused on hockey.

referring to sue who used this thread as a de facto rip jones oppurtunity

also complement and defend players ....my good man.. ps this is not the fire jones thread

makes sense ok to attack real person WITH WIFE AND CHILDREN but not fake onine persona.....PERFECT

he attacks winning coaches actual people vs an online persona...but thats ok right???

Jones was appreciative for the award but deflected credit to others. “It’s very humbling,” said Jones of the award. “I’m grateful for my staff and team. This is a product of what they’ve done. It’s more about what we do every day, working and trying to get better.”

just how he sees himself..obviously

The haters really hate themselves and their own pathetic life...geaux sue is an obvious example of such...just look at his mug and his posts

Faison got a steal on Jones been paying him last place $$$$ but never a last place product Faison has been a Genius so far with mens hoops

UND opens as a 5 point favorite...
