bincitysioux Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Nice win, and much needed. Way to go boys! Quote
CMSioux Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 This is where the program is at............... Big Sky Thursday Night Preview Good thing they played the game. Quote
Teeder11 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Wow, these threads die quickly after a UND win. Quote
darell1976 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Maybe Idaho will overlook us, and we can escape Moscow with a win. Atta boy UND!! So much for that BSC preview. Quote
hoopster Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Fits right in with their team GPA this past semester. Are you a douche or just a moron troll? Quote
CMSioux Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 A good win - sitting at my computer watching thinking the worst but we kept our poise down the stretch. Free throw shooting is much improved this year - helps to have a couple of very high percentage guys. You can see they are working on rebounding but it is still a huge weakness - still need continued aggressiveness in that area. For a drop-down 7 footer (which usually means no hands) Shanks shows some ability and will develop. Plenty of confident guys on this team - they just need to get it together and they could move up the standings. Quote
NODAK13 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Nobody on this year's team is even close to Huff. Even on off-nights, Huff excelled at defense. Huff excelled on offense but was not good on defense. He gambled all the time for his steals and when he did not get a steal it was an easy 5 on 4 for the other team. He did not know how to play straight up defense as he gave up almost as many points as he scored. Just cause he stole the ball every once in a while and made a dunk does not make you a good defender. Watch the players on this years team, that's how you play in your face defense. Quote
NODAK13 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Very good win and it was nice to actually see the other team miss a ton of free throws to give us the win instead of the other way around. The defensive pressure in the 2nd half was the best defense I have seen in yours out of UND and made the difference in this one. Play like this Saturday and we have a chance against EWU. Quote
hoopster Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Shanks at 10ppg is leading freshman Big Sky scorer in conference play Quote
sioux2013 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Shanks at 10ppg is leading freshman Big Sky scorer in conference play Nice. I was skeptical when I first saw him play because he appeared very weak and was pushed around a lot but he is going to be a very good player in the years to come once he puts on some muscle and weight. This team plays very hard, which is fun to watch the effort but are still lacking in some areas which will probably keep them around the 7-9 mark in the league. Next year and the year after is when things can really begin to happen once again for UND. Quote
UND92,96 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 UND 2-1 on the road, 0-3 at home in the Big Sky. Not exactly what anybody would have predicted so far. Quote
hoopster Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Not sure Shanks will add much weight. He stopped growing as a high school soph. and still has not filled out. Listed weigh is same as it was at Utah St. Shanks could slide over to the 4 as he has decent footwork and shooting touch for a 7FT guy. Quote

No way he slides down to the 4 because he could not guard a typical 4 that may be 6'6 to 6'8 or smaller that can shoot from the outside and drive quick to the hoop. I hoping he adds at least another 20lbs which should not be too hard with working hard with the trainer over the next couple of years. Quote

Lets hope that Cashman can develop into a serviceable backup as well. We cannot afford another situation like last year with Brekke and having NO viable replacement. Quote

Actually his lack of strength and bulk becomes less of an issue the farther one gets from the hoop. Plenty of 4's are tall and lanky. Joey King Big Ten 6'9" 225,Facey from U Conn 6'9 205, Lattin OKLA. 6'9 200. Shanks listed at 7' 235 is the same as Kaminsky The All American from Wisc. Kaminsky has been training for years and he is listed at 7' 234lb.. Shanks length and mobility would allow him to play the 4/stretch 4, in the Big Sky If necessary... He is the best 5 and 2nd best 4 on the team right now. Quote
