bincitysioux Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Is Strand injured? She did not play the last 3 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND92,96 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 It seems crazy that in the first half (give or take) of the season, UND was able to beat Montana (RPI 100), win at UNC (RPI 138), give USD (RPI 76) and Colorado (RPI 115) all they could handle on the road, and play Minnesota (RPI 39) tough even without having Evers for most of the game. And yet despite not having any major injuries, lose six of its last seven games. What happened? Starting with the game at Montana, pretty much nothing went right.

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact we aren't crushing it on the boards anymore. Our rebounding margin has gone way down in conference play, and outside of PSU the board matchup has been very close or we have been outrebounded.

obborg Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I think we can safely count on Loyd, Dyer and Szabla to all be consistent double-figures scorers next season. But as for the rest of the returnees, I think only Strand and maybe Sawatzke are capable of scoring more than about 4 per game. That's a problem. We will need Klabo, Freije, Hass and at least one of the incoming guards to be part of the regular rotation, and provide some offense. I bet the team will actually score more per game next year. I have noticed them developing a fast break that is starting to show signs. With Evers gone I could see them becoming more of a running team. There's certainly plenty of speed all the way down the bench. I saw Klabo play again last night and can tell you she would fit in well in a running style as well. She takes point guard duties on most fast breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been really nice to have gotten both Klabo and Stewart. Especially since Stewart is on record as saying she was planning on going to UND until she got so much national recruiting attention while playing AAU ball last summer.

obborg Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Nice to know we are at least a good transfer option for her. She is definitely the prize in ND this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcountry Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 And I know they're technically "neutral" site games at BSC tourney but women have really struggled on the road all season so not optimistic about their chances. It seems like we've regressed the second half of the season, unlike some of the other teams who seemed to progress. Hopefully can turn it around but it won't be easy. SEEMS like we've regressed? I have seen lesser regression from a 5th grader with ADD. This team has taken gigantic steps backward and the turnover situation has returned to where it was 2 years ago. It would be tempting to institute a 15 second rule - when the shot clock gets to 15 whoever has the ball shoots before they turn it over. At least the men's team loses close games.

I'll give Stewart 2 years at Iowa then she'll transfer closer to home. Klabo is the real deal. She doesn't have much around her at Davies.

UND Fan Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I'll give Stewart 2 years at Iowa then she'll transfer closer to home. Klabo is the real deal. She doesn't have much around her at Davies. Where does Klabo get her points? Back to the basket? What kind of range does she have? C or PF in college? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Where does Klabo get her points? Back to the basket? What kind of range does she have? C or PF in college? My guess would be playing the 4 with better ball and shooting skills than most 4s. Scores mostly inside now but can square up and shoot from 15 ft and out pretty well. During the off season I see her a lot at the gym. She works a lot on off the dribble moves to the basket and pull up jumpers off the dribble.

To be honest though, I'd rather win more games and lose by a lot compared to a team that wins MUCh fewer games (style points at best) but loses many close ones. Point margin gets you no where, W-L do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obborg Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Where does Klabo get her points? Back to the basket? What kind of range does she have? C or PF in college? At the HS level nobody can match up with her underneath, and the closer in she gets the more dominant. But she's also comfortable shooting from the arc, and does occasionally. Haven't seen much for back-in moves, she's much more of a face-you-up and break you down type. But what impresses me most is the passing ability. Despite her scoring average she seems unselfish and looks to pass first, and usually finds the open player. Last night she might have had 10 assists if not for missed easy shots. Oh and she is a good finisher, which is nice. Nothing can kill momentum faster and frustrate fans more than a missed point blank layup.

Good point, the women have at least given themselves an opportunity to right the ship while the men's team leaves you wondering if they will ever be able to find a way to extend leads, make clutch baskets down the stretch, and finish games. These are big issues and I don't know how you go about instilling or teaching these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdub27 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Women's team has accepted a post-season bid but have not yet announced which one. GF Herald says its likely Women's Basketball Invitational, which announces its field tonight. Be nice to see them rattle off a couple wins. #buttWBI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
