sioux2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Montana wins in overtime. UND is now locked at the 3 seed. SUU played a great game and has a very good dribble inside and kick to the wide open shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND-FB-FAN Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Next year UND. Hosting the Big Sky Conference Tournament would be just awesome. I certainly hope we can get it done next season and accomplish that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hosting the Big Sky Conference Tournament would be just awesome. I certainly hope we can get it done next season and accomplish that! I have been hoping for this for a couple years now. If it's not the goal of the team and coaches, it should be, because I think it is attainable.

darell1976 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 If and when UND hosts the tournament what venue would be used? Betty, Ralph, or Alerus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxperfan7 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 If and when UND hosts the tournament what venue would be used? Betty, Ralph, or Alerus? As long as the Big Sky Tournament is on the weekend before selection Sunday, it will always be the same weekend as the first round of the conference tournaments. I can't remember what the NCHC playoff format will be, but I assume that it will be a 3 game series for the first round and 4 teams advance to Minneapolis. The optimal place would be to have the tournament at the Ralph, but that would conflict with the first round hockey games (assuming we host, which is a very good chance year in and year out. So I don't see how they can have it at the Ralph due to hockey potentially being in town. I don't see it being at the Betty either due to the same issue. Parking would be a nightmare. So the only logical place would be to have it at the Alerus. Not the most optimal place, but probably the only option. A good problem to have if you ask me!!

I ABSOLUTELY hope that the Betty will be used. Otherwise, it is not home court advantage. I know it's the smallest of the three, but the team deserves their home floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Students, get ready for parking passes to triple in price again. I ABSOLUTELY hope that the Betty will be used. Otherwise, it is not home court advantage. I know it's the smallest of the three, but the team deserves their home floor. Agreed. Hopefully UND could get larger bleachers for the ends of the court on short notice if seating is an issue. What is the typical attendance for the conference tourney?? Regardless, as others have stated, it would be a great problem to have if it happened. First things first though, lets take care of SUU this weekend and surprise some people in this year's BSC tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would have to assume fewer non-UND fans would be making the trip all the way to Grand Forks though as compared to tourneys in Montana and Utah.

NODAK13 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Last year Montana vs Weber St champ game had 7,042 in Missoula. Montana's average home attendance is 4000, so they brought in roughly 3000 more fans for the championship game. If that held true then we would need to seat around 5000 fans. I'd say bring in temporary bleaches on each end and pack the Betty to where the noise level is out of control and the Betty is packed even if we have to turn away a few fans. That would be an awesome atmosphere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodcon Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'm not sure who Weber loses but Montana loses Cherry and Ward so they should come back to the pack a little, really UND should be in the hunt for home court next year based on their play recently, that would be great for the program.
