They play an independent schedule this season against a mix of Division I and lower-level schools but will join the Great West Conference, which is scheduled to begin play next season. Quote

bincitysioux Posted December 20, 2008 Author Posted December 20, 2008 9 North Dakota 18 Green Bay 11:03 1st half. I've already lost count of all the turnovers the Sioux have commited. They look confused and unsure of how to execute their offense. The webcast is excellent though. Quote
bincitysioux Posted December 20, 2008 Author Posted December 20, 2008 UND shooting 28% vs. Green Bay's 61% Quote
bincitysioux Posted December 20, 2008 Author Posted December 20, 2008 9 UND 32 UWGB ~9:00 1st half. It's ugly already. The Sioux are totally outmatched. Have no idea at all how to handle UWGB's full court press which is basically just one guy applying a little pressure to the ball handler. Green Bay's announcers say it is like practice. Sioux are tentative and unsure of themselves. Green Bay's 3 point shooters are killing the zone defense. Quote
bincitysioux Posted December 20, 2008 Author Posted December 20, 2008 Green Bay 6-9 on 3 pointers Quote

bincitysioux Posted December 20, 2008 Author Posted December 20, 2008 How's the effort sound? Are the players even putting forth an effort anymore for this guy? Effort is much better than it was against Dickinson IMO. They just look very tentative/confused/unsure. No one acts like they want to have the ball in their hands. They are shooting themselves in the foot. I'd say 5 of the 11 turnovers are unforced. Quote
bincitysioux Posted December 20, 2008 Author Posted December 20, 2008 This offense seems to work best when the shot clock gets down to 4 and either Harkins or Mertens is forced to drive to the basket. Otherwise it is a turnover waiting to happen. Quote

bincitysioux Posted December 20, 2008 Author Posted December 20, 2008 The team is officially asleep now. Quote
Shawn-O Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 33 UND 64 UWGB 12:01 2nd half I think I just spit up my Mich Ultra. Quote
bincitysioux Posted December 20, 2008 Author Posted December 20, 2008 Sioux down 38 now. UWGB hit 3 pointers on 5 consecutive possessions. UND is displaying ineptitude in all phases of the game. They are 2 for 8 on FT. Quote

bincitysioux Posted December 20, 2008 Author Posted December 20, 2008 FG % 70% UWGB 45% UND 3 PT % 62% UWGB 29% UND TURNOVERS 18 UND 16 UWGB -Monsebroten had 17 points, 6-7 on FG -Sioux were 7-15 from the FT line Quote
star2city Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 58 UND 96 UWGB FINAL...................................................LY, IT'S OVER UWGB was the first game against an under 100 RPI team; the only higher rated team UND will play is Texas A&M. With no height to speak of, few pure shooters, and UWBG shooting over 60% both on threes and overall, not surprised at the margin. Quote
