bincitysioux Posted January 9, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND1983 Posted January 10, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodak78 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Terrible rebounding again. How can the big men stand directly under the basket. Need to get position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoSiouxFan Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 The effort here is pathetic...... I disagree. I think the effort has been excellent. The last game, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND92,96 Posted January 10, 2015 Share 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.

cberkas Posted January 10, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NODAK13 Posted January 10, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

No byes, there will be 4 quarterfinal games instead of 3 like in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sioux24/7 Posted January 11, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDPritch Posted January 13, 2015 Share 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.
