Benton really confuses me. He reminds me of a football/hockey player trying to play basketball at the Y. Good defensively, but has no touch on offense and no control. But when I watch him in pregame he drills 3s left and right.

5 guards the last 3-4 minutes that brought us back. Great effort at the end by those guys and thats what won the game for us. Maybe some lessons were learned tonight cause Jones had very little patience for bad shots and poor defense tonight cause he benched the players when it happened. I do like what he did and the message was sent.

Went to the game tonight and I would have to describe my mood as agitated. That was hard to watch as we struggled with the 350th best team in the country or 2nd worst team if you want to look at it that way.

Don't know if anybody caught what the TV announcer said last night about our rebounding. He said it appears the UND players are running to the rim for rebounds and not finding a man and boxing them out. He definitely hit the nail on the head with that one cause game after game we don't box out. Calcaterra our post has only got 7 rebounds in the last 3 games total. Nash is another one that never boxes out just runs to the rim. So many basic fundamentals that are not being done.

gotta beat the spread ;)

Honestly the spread means nothing and who sets the spread? We beat the spread against Wisconsin, Oregon and Butler and that got us 3 loses. We didn't beat the spread against Southern Utah and we got a win. I will take the win no matter what even if we played poorly.

Some quick thoughts on the game last night:

-Was nice to see Jones yank a couple players out of the line-up immediately after a dumb play regardless of who they were (Huff twice and Hooker once among a few others). After the UNC game, someone said that they thought Coach Ahelegbe was in charge of subsitutions. I watched last night and he may be in charge of some rotational stuff, but it was Jones who immediately looked down the bench to put someone in multiple times.

-Nash was more athletic than anyone they had, needs to drive instead of taking outside shots

-Defense showed flashes and then looked terrible next time down the court

-Same with the zone offense

-The drive and dish by Huff at the end of the game has been being set up for 3 1/2 years now, was a great play

-Can't believe Webb hit that shot at the end with the shot clock running down

Haven't seen any of SUU's other games this year, but they looked better than an 0-8 team. Somewhat concerning because it seems we played down to their level. Having a hard time comprehending how UND can play at a high level against teams like Wisconsin and NDSU, with good ball movement and using their athleticism, and then look like that against a team they should run out of the gym. That being said, very much needed win.

Anyone have any idea why when SUU shoots free throws, they had 4 guys back, leaving only the shooter to get the rebound against 4 UND guy, basically conceding any rebound on a miss?

Perhaps they're intimated by our athleticism and how quickly we can get the ball up the floor? They probably wanted to control the tempo and really slow things down.

Kind of what I though as well, but you'd think they'd at least still put a guy or two down low to at least give some token pressure on the rebound. Don't remember seeing a team do that consistently throughout a game.

So many negative Nancy's after a much needed win. Scroll down and read, every single comment is bad. We all get frustrated with this team and im totally guilty, but after a win, come on. Let it be a confidence booster if nothing else. A win is win. I'll take it.

Right - and that attitude is why they go 16-16 every year. Hopefully, they are able to snatch up a CIT bid again.
