bincitysioux Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 North Dakota (5-9, 1-2 Big Sky, #239 RPI) vs. Portland St. (7-6, 1-2 Big Sky, #258 RPI) Saturday January 10, 2:00 at Betty Engelstad Sioux Center Game Notes PSU Website PSU Message Board Television: Midco Sports Network, Fox College Sports Pacific, WatchBigSky Audio: 1440 AM, UNDInsider Vikings are coming off of a 5 point loss at Northern Colorado. They have a win against USC from early in the season, which is impressive, but other than that they haven't looked like anything special. They are another guard oriented team. Coach Jones is 4-1 all time against PSU so there is that. Only prediction I will make is that we will be out-rebounded. Quote
UND1983 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 UND down 20-18 in first half. Slow start but coming back. They were 3 point favorites to start the game, since I know that matters. Quote
Nodak78 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Terrible rebounding again. How can the big men stand directly under the basket. Need to get position Quote
bincitysioux Posted January 10, 2015 Author Posted January 10, 2015 The effort here is pathetic...... Quote
MoSiouxFan Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 The effort here is pathetic...... I disagree. I think the effort has been excellent. The last game, as well. Quote
UND92,96 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I'm not sure I see many more wins on the schedule. I think UND can beat Idaho St., Southern Utah and of course Montana St., all at home, but that may be about it barring a big improvement. Quote
ArtVandalay Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Effort vastly different this year vs last year. This team plays hard. Quote
NODAK13 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Out rebounded 41-27. Fix this and we win this game just like others this year. Jones and company 3 point guard starting line up is not working, hello.. Quote
Kab Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Jones will never figure it out He is not a coach He needs to be mussmaned Quote
cberkas Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 For all of the people that want Jones fired you want him to keep loosing, and miss the Big Sky Tournament. Quote
NODAK13 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Looking at the schedule we are potentially looking at a 1-7 Big Sky record after 8 games. Don't see this team making the tournament unless some changes are made. Quote
darell1976 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 For all of the people that want Jones fired you want him to keep loosing, and miss the Big Sky Tournament. I want him fired, but I would never wish for UND to lose. Quote

Don't see this team making the tournament unless some changes are made. At least 8 teams make the tournament with the addition of Idaho, instead of 7, I wonder if there are 2 first round byes. Quote
NODAK13 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 At least 8 teams make the tournament with the addition of Idaho, instead of 7, I wonder if there are 2 first round byes. No byes, there will be 4 quarterfinal games instead of 3 like in the past. Quote
Nodak78 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Box out, box out, box out!!!! You win this game!!!! Quote
Kab Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 That's where coaching comes in Don't listen sit on the bench Put some in who will Quote
darell1976 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 No byes, there will be 4 quarterfinal games instead of 3 like in the past. Thanks for the info. Without a bye the tournament has become a bit tougher. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Anyone else notice Portland States head coach doesn't do much of the coaching? All of it seemed to be done by the assistant. Also, what's up with still having the Big Sky logo from pre-UND? That's pretty sad. 1 Quote
GDPritch Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Out rebounded 41-27. Fix this and we win this game just like others this year. Jones and company 3 point guard starting line up is not working, hello..Spot on point you make. Jones keeps complaining they need to rebound better but he's the one who recruited this team and is going with a 3 guard line-up oftentimes. Hello? Yes, there can be good rebounding guards, but on average your forwards and centers get the most rebounds based upon more height and positioning nearer the basket. Quote
