teamsioux Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Bison Dan, I should realize you are the all knowing on womens BB! I have seen enought NCC ball the 17 seasons or so since Roebuck came to know these bottom teams have improved immensely. I know your ideas revolve around that great DI program, but believe it or not there are good teams still even without the Bison. Take your smug remarks about a subject you have no idea about and discuss them with your other Bison buddies being 'Su fans have nothing better to do during tournament time. Quote
Nodakstud Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Another thing to consider about NDSU's championship teams...They won all of their titles at least 10 years ago. I think that women's basketball has come a long way even since the mid-1990's. You don't see teams such as Mankato and USD and UNO playing as bad of basketball as you once did. Also, I would venture to hypothesize that there are more talented young women playing basketball now than back in the mid-1990's. I'm not trying to say that Kasey Morlock was a weak ball player (she was damn good, and you couldn't hate her no matter how hard you tried), but the top teams in the conference aren't getting all the top recruits, and since more good athletes are going to teams that historically aren't as strong, you are seeing more depth.

ndsu92 Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 I certainly can't vouch for the veracity of this rumor, but the following was in Frank Fee's column from the KROX (Crookston) radio web page: Even though I kind of doubt it will happen, adding Roysland, Kimbrough, Guinn and Bagaason to an already very talented team could make next year's UND team potentially one of the best dII has seen in a long time, at least on paper. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not sure it will ever happen either, but I know that a lot of players seem to have personality conflicts with Coach Borton. It has been mentioned several times on the gopher board, but I have yet to see anything about this rumor...we'll have to see come post season what transpires.... Quote
FargoBison Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 I have to agree that some of the former NCC bottom feeders have been getting a little better over the last few years but none of them can still not come close to replacing the losses of NDSU and SDSU. If the SU's were still in the NCC they along with UND would have probably taken 3 of the top 5 seeds.Without the SU's the NCC is still a strong conference but it is no longer an elite conference.

UNDGuy Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 I suspect the student section will be filled when she starts playing for the Sioux. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can think of one reason in that article that I will be in the student section...(see pic in article) Quote
UND92,96 Posted March 10, 2005 Author Posted March 10, 2005 Bagaason struggled shooting the ball yesterday, as did most of the team, but still had 19 points, 8 rebounds and 5 blocks to lead Fosston to a win in the Class A quarterfinals. Fosston will play Minneota in the semi's tomorrow. Quote

UND92,96 Posted March 12, 2005 Author Posted March 12, 2005 Kayla Bagaason had a nice game yesterday to lead Fosston into the state title game. She had 22 points, including 4-7 from 3-point range, and 9 rebounds. Although they probably won't be guarding each other, it will be interesting to see how she compares with Ms. Basketball frontrunner, all-time Minnesota career scoring leader and future Gopher Katie Ohm.

legend334 Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 where is the guy who said Moorhead St. isnt that bad of a team? were you at the game yesterday??? St. Cloud could have beaten them by 35 if they wanted to...St. Cloud put reserves in while MSU left most of their regulars minus their starters in the game...and made it closer than the game was...and by the way...nice representatin RMAC.....wow....are you kidding me..

UND92,96 Posted March 13, 2005 Author Posted March 13, 2005 Although next season could be great, there are some question marks, as well. Will there be some players who don't return? Simple math would suggest that will be the case, as there are 12 players on the roster with at least one year of eligibilty remaining, plus three recruits and the possibility of a transfer or additional signee next month. IMO, there are some questions whether Glynn, Werdell and Draayer will return and/or ever see much playing time. I'm not suggesting they be cut, but I haven't seen anything to suggest they will ever get much p.t. considering who is returning and the fact that it's fairly unusual for players who don't play much in the their first two years in the program to ever become regular parts of the rotation. Will Guinn and Maffin be fully recovered from their injuries? Will UND's big frontline (Langen, Kimbrough and Boese) be able to defend smaller teams, or will some sort of zone defense have to be implemented? For that matter, can the guards do a better job of stopping penetration? Who will red-shirt? I'm assuming Ledger for sure, but the possibility exists for Bagaason and even Beck depending on the health status of Guinn and Maffin, and whether an impact transfer comes in. It's just really hard to predict how the Sioux will do considering a lot will depend on how players like Kimbrough, Guinn and Bagaason, if she doesn't red-shirt, adapt to college basketball, and whether younger returning players like Beck and Sannes improve. With Maffin's status unknown--if she tore any knee ligaments I don't know that she will be able to play next year--there really aren't that many experienced players returning. You know what you'll get from Boese, Jahner, Langen and for the most part Mahlum, but after those four there is a lot of inexperience, although certainly not a lack of talent. Quote
CougarHater1993 Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 Wow, what a win by Concordia. Second time in four years an NSIC team has beaten UND in the semifinals. CSP vs. St. Cloud regional final! what! Quote
legend334 Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 are trolls allowed on this board...where is the moderator??? Quote
UND92,96 Posted March 15, 2005 Author Posted March 15, 2005 Good job tonight by St. Cloud defeating Concordia. The frustrating part for UND is that this is the second time in four years that a Sioux upset loss to an NSIC team opened the door for another NCC team who UND had beaten three times during the season. In 2002, SDSU took advantage of UND's loss to SW St. even though the Sioux were 3-0 vs. the Jacks that year. It was a similar story this year as UND was 3-0 vs. St. Cloud. I'm just glad that the NCC continued its stranglehold on the north central region title. Quote
UND Fan Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 3-0 against St. Cloud with wins over Seattle-Pacific and Grand Valley State! We were 5-0 against teams in the Elite Eight - disappointing that we are not there!! Quote

Many individuals would not be able to cheer on a rival, but it was nice to see especially since some even found a shirt that was red to wear. WOW! It shows character about that university, and it's fans. And I agree! Quote
UND92,96 Posted March 16, 2005 Author Posted March 16, 2005 In what has to be considered kind of a surprise, Kayla Bagaason makes first team a.p. all state in Minnesota, but Kierah Kimbrough only makes second team. link I would have thought it would be the other way around. It's pretty cool that Minnesota and Iowa St. are the only other schools besides UND to have signed more than one all-stater this year. Of the eight seniors named to either the first or second team, at least five are going to a major dI program, with obviously Bagaason and Kimbrough going to UND. Quote

teamsioux Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Roebuck said on coaches show that Maffin will be lucky to play next year...possible red-shirt. The depth everyone was anticipating is already starting to wane. Quote
