any logical review of the facts clearly indicate that UND is a contender for BSC crown ...regardless of UNC game UND will still be in first place with 2 games left and obviously a contender...Geez ...some people

UND 4.5 Favorite...

You are 100% correct .Jones still the lowest paid D1 HC. Return foR investment has been outstanding......If Mens basketball was the UND marquee winter sport not a distant 2nd and Jones was getting close to top dollar...then there is a beef with his job. Weber st has killer facilities the coach makes 400k 12000 seating chair backed arena ..Mens Hoops is the signature sport for them. UND athletics is not talking the talk or walking the walk when it comes to mens basketball being a priority. If UND gets the BSC title Jones very likelywill be the first lowest paid D1 coach in theNCAA to ever win a conference title

Its like any commodity.. I guy buys a brand new corolla for 15k and I say that's a great/unbelievable deal on a solid basic automobile...and darryl/ beaver l says geez wally thats not a good deal because a Toyota Avalon is a much sweeter ride....first guy says I got a Unbelievable deal I mean I got a steal on this car for 15 large for a 20K car plus thats in my budget and I cannot afford to or rather not spend 35 grand for an Avalon . Then darryl/beaver says geez wally are you saying that if you paid 35 thousand for that Corolla it would be like a Avalon.....Wally says no darryl/beaver all I said is I got a FANTASTIC deal on my Corolla

Never said or implied that ...any marginally intelligent person could deduct that. You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink.... A mind is a terrible thing to waste

Hopefully Geno stays out of foul trouble and UNC continues to miss a lot of free throws

I will spell it out for you...Lowest Paid Coach in league and NCAA correlates to a team finishing near the bottom of his league....well guess what Jones got UND in the top half of the league 3 of last 4 years and therefore an intelligent rational person could see he more than earned his last place in BSC salary.

would prefer Weber win as EW likely to run out after tonight

If you ever looked at facts once for once in your life...Jones more than earned his salary 3 of the last 4 years

UND basketball coaches lowest paid D1 in the NCAA....Funny and illogical to demand a cadillac hoops program at a hockey rules school...while paying the coaches a yugo salary

No team will be close to being the fav vs the field in tourney 7 teams could get hot catch some breaks and win it very balanced .

Complaining that UND did not win more preseason games..therefore hypothetically and possibly leaving them with lower NCAA bid if they in fact do make the Dance...Geez

Other than Weber st any BSC should be thrilled to make the big dance....Not complain

Nobody turns down a NCAA at large bid to play in NIT, CIT or CBI

still does not matter with respect to getting NCAA or NIT bid...Nobody said it does not affect RPI ...which by the way if you knew what you were talking about is influenced by who you play not just getting wins....when was the last time you showed up on a basketball other than to piss and moan??? the silence is deafening

actually maybe is more accurate

from an apples to apples perspective / as D1 team Huff will be tough to beat out ...he played in more games his first 2 seasons but only 25 games as jr...Geno has to balance running the team as well as scoring plus he loses minutes with foul trouble and the Summit league will be a step up... pretty sure he will be the all time leader at the D1 level in combined points/assists an steals with room to spare

It is the first time 2 different UND players got the award in one season....

nice win at Summit league leader NDSU....might get them past the play in game...Looks like 6 teams have a shot to win the BSC tourney this season...Every team out there has games they lost but wish or think they should have won....NDSU fans are probably whining about the home loss to UND. Wins and Losses happen ...nothing noteworthy there

Geno had no competing D1 offers...He did grow 3 inches after his junior year , did not start full time until a senior, played with Anim at Marquette, Travis at Stanford and Gopher recruit Jarvis Johnson ... He was a a great find by coach former UND Ahelegbe and credit Jones for signing off on him...classic under the radar kid young for his grade, late growth spurt, played with a bunch of high major kids in highschool .he probably would have picked up some D1 offers if he had waited and signed in the spring.. Collins is not terribly quick, awful shooting form, jumps high but not quick off his feet....Seales is not a leaper like Josh but Cortez is a much quicker jumper. Buchanan from Illinois looks promising and probably would have picked up a D1 offer elsewhere.....Franken from Iowa did not even get a Drake offer came off the bench for his AAU team had offers from Souix Falls and Dordt...Moody had Weber St and NDSU look at him but both passed....I have no problem taking a flyer on an in state kid, but UND needs to pick up the pace on recruiting right now or they will be be a bottom feeder in the Summit...and you do not pick up recruiting by have a head coach with one year contract

Pretty Stupid to extend one year...Terrible for recruiting....the 3 kids coming in had Zero Competing D1 offers....By not extending or canning Jones last year UND recruiting was really hurt....Brown and Collins had zero other D1 offers....and they are not doing much at all... Talent wins

UND opens at plus 6....total 152

2 wins in last 4 games locks up a top 3 finish for UND which gets them a preferred bye slot for the BSC tourney....This is a solid advantage... Hope that EW wins tonight that would make it really tough for Idaho to finish ahead of UND.

Weber will probably be a 6 point pick, UND will be a very small 0-2 point pick at UNC. Sac st is playing well now...They beat Weber and beat Montana twice, Portland St. Crushed UND and 4 of their losses were in OT....No cupcake games left for UND

weber gets 19 free throws...UNC only 3....Weber tough nut to crack at home
