GeauxSioux Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Me either. I'm heading up to take in some basketball this weekend. Boosters Friday afternoon, ladies Friday night and the men on Saturday night. Nice weekend for some Sioux BB. Go SIoux!!
sioux24/7 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Gentry and Antwi are both playing this year correct?
Teeder11 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 2011-12 GWC Preseason Men's Basketball Poll 1. Utah Valley (5) 34 2. North Dakota (1) 28 3. NJIT 27 4. Texas-Pan American 15 5. Chicago State 11 Houston Baptist 11 Utah Valley is becoming a short-term rival for us this year in a lot of sports.
Feff Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Well the Waldorf game looked about as expected, UND looked pretty good against an overmatched team. Some great plays by Huff that were highlight reel material, and Anderson was, IMO, the best player on the court. Great vision, control of the offense, and knew when to take it himself. His defense was solid too. I was really impressed by his play today. The depth looked pretty good and I liked what I saw from the two freshmen and you could see them start to get more comfortable later in the game.
fetch9 Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 really surprised at the offensive rebounding numbers in the game given how poor they were at it last year (though it was more because they didn't try rather than a talent deficiency)
Feff Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 Well I think we'll see those offensive rebound numbers go down. We had a good size advantage on Waldorf. If they keep up that intensity against similarly sized opponents, they probably will increase offensive rebounding. From my perspective, offensive rebounding is a matter of mental disposition to getting nasty and doing what it takes to secure the ball. We were a very young team last year without that mentality, hopefully a year has helped them sharpen it.
fetch9 Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 Well last year it was more of a they just wanted to get back on D vs. going after the offensive boards. I figured that wouldn't change this year but maybe since they had a size advantage they decided to crash the boards a bit more.
SiouxCrew11 Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 After watching almost every game last year and the first two of this young season it is very clear that Aaron Anderson is our most improved player. He has looked great in the first two games (granted against inferior competition). However, regardless of the competition I can clearly see his game elevating and improving which is great to see. He seems to be reaping the benefits of offseason workouts, and perhaps bringing in a freshman PG is pushing him!
Teeder11 Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Holy cow! ISU Bengals have a center on their roster that's listed at 7 feet 4 inches. Wonder if he's athletic enough to play with that kind of height. Might have to show up at the Betty just to see that spectacle. http://www.isubengals.com/roster.aspx?path=mbball

GeauxSioux Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Anderson looked great in the Waldorf game. He played a complete gamed. Huff is fun to watch. The acrobatic play he had in the first half was highlight reel stuff. The big guys did rebound well with their height advantage, but seemed to have a hard time getting the shots to fall in close. Should be a fun year for Sioux BB. Hopefully the attendance picks up as the year rolls on. I guess 1642 isn't bad for a Saturday afternoon.
108498 Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 How good is ISU Have we played them since moving to D1? If so what was the score?
the green team Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 This is the first meeting between the 2 schools on the basketball court. We play them again out there later in the season. Idaho St. played Oklahoma tough on Friday night. They led by 10 at one point in the 1st half then lost by 4. This will be a big elevation in competition from Minot St. and Waldorf. I'm curious to see how it goes.
108498 Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 What level of compotition is tonight's game at compared to this year in football? More like fresno, cal pal, falls, utah state, or ncc.
PhillySioux Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 What level of compotition is tonight's game at compared to this year in football? More like fresno, cal pal, falls, utah state, or ncc. Preseason polls pick ISU as the worst team in the Big Sky.
fetch9 Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 worst team in the Big Sky is still > the best team in the Great West
dakotadan Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 worst team in the Big Sky is still > the best team in the Great West So were you considering UND to be a Big Sky or Great West member when you typed this? 2
fetch9 Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 So were you considering UND to be a Big Sky or Great West member when you typed this? Great West. I'm surprised we won even though Idaho State is terrible.
MoSiouxFan Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 worst team in the Big Sky is still > the best team in the Great West They sure are, alright.
PhillySioux Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Bradley game should be interesting. Bradley was picked last in the Missouri Valley Conference pre-season poll. One would hope this is a winnable road game.
Teeder11 Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Bradley game should be interesting. Bradley was picked last in the Missouri Valley Conference pre-season poll. One would hope this is a winnable road game. Let's hope.... a lot of tradition at Bradley and another 7-footer at center to contend with.
MoSiouxFan Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Bradley game should be interesting. Bradley was picked last in the Missouri Valley Conference pre-season poll. One would hope this is a winnable road game. Definitely looks like a winnable game, as they have 3 10-pt. wins so far, two over D-II schools and one over a weak UMKC team.
UNDsportsFANATIC Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Looking forward to this game! Sioux should be able to go 3-0! Keep it going guys!
GeauxSioux Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Sioux lead 33-20 at the half over Jamestown. It hasn't been pretty. UND led just 23-20 after giving up two straight 3-pointers with about 2:30 left, then went on a 10 point tear. Hopefully they can keep that level of intensity through the second half.
