star2city Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 From Fightingsioux.com SCOUTING THE BRONCOS: The Broncos are coming off a 19-13 campaign that saw the team tie for third in the WAC and earn an invite to the College Basketball Invitational. BSU lost to Stanford in the first round (96-76). Seven different players made at least 17 starts for head coach Greg Graham, who is in his eighth season steering the Broncos. Four of those players are back this season and all averaged at least 8.9 ppg for a club that put up 72.8 ppg. Senior center Kurt Cunningham led that quartet of returners with a 10.2 ppg clip, while forward Paul Noonan chipped in with 10.0 ppg. The Broncos blitzed Concordia in exhibition play 109-89 on Nov. 7. Forward Ike Okoye led the way with 21 points and nine rebounds in that contest.

UND92,96 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 What's the story with Bledsoe? He didn't play at all on Saturday............ He didn't play in the exhibition game, either. I think he has some sort of leg injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star2city Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hell of a weekend, NOT!! We need some DAC teams in the Betty to get the record back on track If the Sioux had won any one of those games, it would have been an upset. What we really need is some Summit teams! But guess what, up next is UM-KC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodcon Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Not sure that would do it. What we really need is some Summit teams! But guess what, up next is UM-KC. Shhh, don't say Summit, we don't want to get you-know-who started again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the green team Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I guess my question is... which team will be the first to collect a regular season win? The men or the women? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star2city Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 I guess my question is... which team will be the first to collect a regular season win? The men or the women? Not really a fair question: the women play a stronger schedule. While the Great West men's BB is very weak (it's like 1-9 and only Utah Valley State has won a DI game - that against NDSU), the next stretch of schedule should be the easiest part of the non-conference: UND should be strong favorites over Waldorf and Mayville, slight favorites over UMKC and Edwardsville even with Northern Colorado slight underdog to UT-Arlington big underdog to Drake and UWGB Sat, Nov 21 UMKC Grand Forks, N.D. 1 p.m. Tue, Nov 24 Waldorf College Grand Forks, N.D. 7 p.m. Fri, Nov 27 Northern Colorado Grand Forks, N.D. 1 p.m. Sun, Nov 29 Green Bay Grand Forks, N.D. 4 p.m. Fri, Dec 04 Texas-Arlington at Des Moines, Iowa 5 p.m. Sat, Dec 05 Drake or SIU-Edwardsville at Des Moines, Iowa Tue, Dec 08 Mayville State Grand Forks, N.D.

Coyote Fan Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I see your men are off to a bit of a slow start. USD got thumped by 40 against Texas Tech on Friday. They were defeated by Oregon State by 17 but turned around today and beat Texas A&M Corpus Christie by 3. CC beat Oregon State by 20 and stayed within single digits of Texas Tech.

GeauxSioux Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I'm drinking my Kool Aid and saying that Coach Jones will get it turned around this year. The Sioux are a young team and it will take some time, but they will make strides this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux2013 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 ^^^^ Agree, this team is very young and inexperienced at the D1 level. It doesnt help that they are shooting 40% from the field and only 30% from three and a horrible 53% from the line. Once the nerves calm down and they relax they will start shooting better and then the wins will come. This team will be very good towards next year and then several years to come with these players.
