gfhockey Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 I always wonder why when people do a reg shot they jump Free throws they don't jump at all Dumb Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 What is it with UND and women's and men's hoops with shooting free throws? Especially terrible on the men's side but not to excuse the women either, especially our 3 primary guards. You expect guards to be making a decent percentage of their ft's. They should be shooting a higher percentage for sure. I'm old school, do they not practice ft's much anymore at the HS and collegiate levels on belief they're not important enough or what? They're "free" throws, meaning uncontested and they're just mid-range shots. No excuses for not making 75%, really. Dyer is usually around 80% Szabla and knox 70%. Mia is usually decent at the line but has had a few off games. It will come around.Im not as concerned with that as much as our 67 turnovers the last 3 games that caused us to barely get by NDSU and cost us wins against Minnesota and Clemson. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 Ho hum win last night against Mayville. Took care of business, Loyd had 28 points and 15 boards. Team have 25 assists and shot 21-23 from the line. Don't know what it means, but Emily Thompson got some minutes in 1st and 2nd half and scored 10 points in 11 minutes. Anybody hear or know of the extend of Evers injury and how much she is out for. Miller hinted yesterday that the rumors where an ankle and will be out a couple of weeks. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted December 21, 2014 Author Posted December 21, 2014 Good news in that is Evers is playing. Plus playing well of course Quote
gfhockey Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Fire brew? I kid I kid Thought it was a very good game. If it was at Und und wins by 20 Quote
nodakhoops Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Not that disappointing.....that was a fantastic basketball game to watch. Two very good teams trading punches. One team had to lose it and we had a couple bad timed turnovers. Great job in non conference by the team, now onto the important games. UND fans need to get behind this team at home. We have a shot to host again this year but the Big Sky will be tough. We need to take care of home games. Last couple years Big Sky has been a very strong WBB conference. On a side note Dyer is having a fantastic year. Lloyd and Evers get a lot of well deserved credit but Dyer is really starting to become a big time scorer. She is playing at an all conference level. She could be the X factor for winning the title. Kind of exciting she is only a sophomore. Quote

First things first, start 2-0 against Montana Schools Quote
darell1976 Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Montana and Southern Utah like last year look to give UND problems after a strong OOC start. Hopefully those two teams will fall and UND can get another conference title. Quote
GDPritch Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 gfhockey/post #101--I hear what you're saying but believe the reason one does a jump shot on a field goal attempt is to minimize the chance of having their shot blocked, while when shooting a free throw there's no chance of another player blocking it. I'm no physicist but I have to think when you jump you have less odds of making a shot vs shooting a free throw since movement has to effect (negatively) your shot making to some degree. That would be evidenced by a good field goal shooting percentage being 50% while for shooting free throws it's considered 75% - 80%. Go Sioux! Quote
TBR Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 I was at the USD game. I thought USD was a bit more athletic in the post toward the end of the game in crunch time which was why they won. Had Evers been able to play more and neutralize USD's effectiveness in the post we would have won rather easily. 1 Quote

Once she gets back to 100%, we'll be fine. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 Looks like Lauck has been put back in the starting lineup in place of Siri. Like the move, she has played very well the past few games and has hit 2 3's in the game already against MSU 10-8 UND Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 MSU has gone into a zone, UND having a little trouble with it 25-24 MSU Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 tied at 28 with 3:48 to go in 1st Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 UND takes a 42-33 lead into the half. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 The picture for this game (Big Sky app on iPad) is much better than the mens game this aftenoon. Does UND go with HD and Montana State doesn't? 82-74 UND final Quote
jdub27 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 UND wins 82-74. Big win to start conference play. Quote
the green team Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 The picture for this game (Big Sky app on iPad) is much better than the mens game this aftenoon. Does UND go with HD and Montana State doesn't? 82-74 UND final Yes, I believe that is the difference- UND I believe made the move to HD Cameras to accommodate Fox Sports and have better quality webcasts (was talking to one of the kids operating a camera at half one game). That's one thing I like about UND right now as they in many ways seem to be taking the lead in the quality of their product TV, Webcasts etc...when in comparison to Big Sky brethren. I may be the only one but I appreciate it. Quote
