Sporting news has UND pegged for 11th in Big Sky

Drake lost to BC by 5, yesterday their coach said BC was equal to a very good mid major NCAA team

BC Atletas who UND beat 91-79 just took down Georgetown 90-85...NBC College basketball talk had GTown preseason 14th and ESPN has them preseason 24th.

geno not too shabby for a kid who had zero D1 offers other than UND

Marquette and Georgetown have been playing to win ...playing the top guys most of the games. Bernstine is played very well...especially for a guy that has not played a game for 18 months...Gtown has picked up some top 20 preseason ratings

yes 18,

Georgetown beats Haukar by 10 marquette beat them 7....UND By 18

UND Men's Basketball ‏@UNDMBasketball 4m4 minutes ago UND stays unbeaten on European Tour with 91-79 victory over LSU Atletas (Lithuania...... Marquette beat these guys by 18 . Nice Win, not hearing anything on the bigs shanks or cashman

UND Men's Basketball ‏@UNDMBasketball 1m1 minute ago Baldwin with another steal and a dunk - he has 18 and UND holds a 76-69 lead on Atletas.....Wonder if he is running at the 2 or playing the 3....2 nice games in a row for Corey

BC Atletas hung with marquette for most of the game....might be a little tired and down for UND sunday

10mundmbbUND moves to 2-0 on the The European Tour with an 83-61 victory over Italy DTS #UNDinEurope #UNDProud....time to bring on Duke

Georgetown will play the ital dream team next week... UND next victim BC Atletas will be playing Marquette tomorrow and also Georgetown next week... comparing outcomes can be interesting but needs to be taken with a grain of salt...

UND builds a 16-point lead at halftime on Italy DTS - Crandall with 8 pts/4 rebs/5 asts #UNDinEurope #UNDProud Dream team my guess is a team made of from Italy pro league players for the exclusive purpose of playing exhibition games...not as good as the Iceland team

UND holds on for 71-53 win over Iceland (Haukar) - Quinton Hooker leads all scorers with 21 #UNDinEurope #UNDProud hopefully a player stat line will be published

UND Men's Basketball ‏@UNDMBasketball 1m1 minute agoA 10-0 run at end of third quarter has put UND ahead of Haukar 51-41

Marquette sponsored the broadcast....UND is not..

Marquette beats Haukar 89-82. Marquette length, quickness and athleticism too much. NBC college basketball talk has Marquette rated preseason 20th.. Haukar will likely be tired tomorrow and perhaps view UND as a let down game.. The Gym was not air conditioned and was very hot and humid. Players slipped and fell quite often in the second half...nobody got injured but the floor became too slippery as the game progressed.

halftime Haukar Basketball (Iceland) 43-37 over Marquette. Marquette Has a Top 10 5*recruit, a top 40 recruit, a top 50 recruit a 3 more top 100 kids plus another ESPN 4*. Looks like Huakar is a very good Euro Team, They Pass and they shoot very well....Jones could have scheduled some lame teams like Creighton U did.(won first 2 games by 75 points each)...but it looks like he wants the team to play tough competition.

I have seen him play, I know how the AAU system works. If you want to believe that Martin bros the 4th rated AAU team in Iowa(Having lost to 2 of 3 teams rated above them and beat none of the 3 team rated higher} this year is a national powerhouse higher rated than all 40 Nike EYBL teams then be my guest.. UND has made their fare share of recruiting mistakes ,player development not the problem ..With only 2 open offers and lots of time left the team should aim higher... If Collins and Avants do not out play their offer lists/ratings then UND could be in a bind down the road unless there is some positive attrition.

This AAU rankings and tourney does not include the EYBL and adidas uprising teams where the big boys compete... This AAU ranking and tourney are for the lower level national programs. The AAU website rankings had MN Comets ranked 8th nationally....they were a mid level AAU team in MN. ....Finished 10TH In MN with 28-19 per north star hoops.... 10Comets Lewis28-19SW Stars (x2), Fury Jordan, Fury Wilde, Heat Vang, Fury Zurn 16, Grassroots, WOTN Swed, RA Jay (x2), Heat NW, SwishFury Wilde, WOTN Nicols (x2), Heat Vang, Select Altenhofen, Select Ohnstad10. The Elite program in Iowa all iowa attack....got invited to play in the 40 Team Nike EYBL league next season... I watched Martins last 2 games and Brown did not start, one kid in front of him was a nice mid major kid. Billy had 6 points in 2 games, got pulled after 2 straight turnovers in final. His defense was ok, maybe if he concentrates on one sport he might be an ok back up as a 5th year senior.

Team won a level B "national tourney" in Kentucky no prep stars or rated AAU teams played in it. Prep Hoops Iowa final rating had them rated 4th in low talent Iowa final 17U AAU ratings.
