Obviously a tall order heading into the Barn to play the Gophers, the NIT Champions from a year ago.  UND is coming off its first road win since 2012 against Drake.  Minnesota is coming off a 20 point win over Western Carolina.  Their two losses are to Louisville and St. Johns.  This game will be televised on ESPNU, and therefore should also be availble to stream from WatchESPN.........

Just glad you are going - wear any UND stuff you want.  I hope a bunch of other potential fans check out this game as well!

I'll be headed there as well.  Excited to catch my first college game at Williams arena.

I'm also en route to minne right now driving actually

Ice Arena Man--You bet it's kosher/cool to wear your Fighting Sioux hockey jersey! If I was there I would no doubt be wearing my black Fighting Sioux hockey jersey. Hopefully all the UND alumni who turn out in full force for hockey in the Twin Cities also take in b-ball too vs the Goofers.

Line is -22

 

Gotta think we cover.......   right?

Pioneer Press:  Gophers men's basketball: Minnesota expecting North Dakota's best shot

[UNDBIZ]

From the article:

The Gophers rely mostly on King's (6'9") outside shooting, but he takes the most pride in leading the team -- and maybe even the Big Ten -- in charges.

"I think I have 11 charges in eight games now," he said. "I'm always trying to get a charge or two every single game. I'm not the most athletic guy in the world. I'm not going to get you five steals. If I can take one or two charges, that's a big deal for me."

 

Paging Jaron Nash, you have been warned.  Stay in control and don't let this guy's flops take you out of the game.

I will be there tonight.  Looking forward to seeing green in the barn.

I'll be headed there as well.  Excited to catch my first college game at Williams arena.

You'll love it, best arena in the Big Ten as far as atmosphere goes.

Prediction:

 

 

Minnesota - 79

UND          - 62

[forksandspoons]

Minnesota 82, UND 60. 

[bincitysioux]

10 UND

12. Minnesota

15:43 1st Half

[sioux2013]

Fast start for UND but we have are going to get killed down low.  

[jdub27]

Mo Walker dominating UND down low. Going to be a huge problem tonight. Don't think UND had an answer. 9 of UM's first 12.

[bincitysioux]

We got off to a nice start, but we have no answer for their big guy down low, Walker. He may have a night like Kaminsky did last year against us in the Badger game.

[SiouxFan100]

So far OK. We can't stop their big guy one on one. Our bigs have trouble catching the ball.

[SiouxFan100]

Come on. Our bigs need to get position earlier. Or we need to double team

[SiouxFan100]

Box out!

[sioux2013]

Walker may score more than Kimisky did against last year. He may go for 50.

[SiouxFan100]

Still better than I feared
