Oxbow6 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Holly Johnson, former Ms. BB from Minot and NDSU player, was cut loose from NDSU over a nagging injury. Has degree and 1 year of eligibility left. Wants to play last season of D1 BB "in the area". Why not UND? Not many other D1 programs " in the area". 1 Quote
Dagger Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 That comment by Johnson pretty much tells you where she wants to play next year. Quote

Expand Probably for a reason, too. That looks really bad on NDSU's WBB program to do that in her last year. Not like she was some end of the bencher who eating up a scholarship for 3 years. To not even give a roster spot at all is embarrassing. 1 Quote

Expand Living in Fargo I know a few connected with NDSU..........not many I have talked to feel the new WBB coach is an upgrade over the last one who was a complete disaster. Quote

Expand I've heard similar and early results are trending that way. Putting a lot of eggs in the basket of next year's class bringing in 7 scholarship players. Quote
Risky Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I heard she knows where she is playing next year . Do you think she would even be interested in UND and would UND be interested in her? We do lose Loyd next year. Quote

Weber and ISU on the road. Lets make it 6! Expand I really do like your enthusiasm but my excitement is curtailed. Yes, it was another win tonight but considering it was at home... It seems like we are beating average teams. It sure doesn't come easy. I just don't see us winning many if any games on the road the remainder of the season or winning on neutral court at BSC tourney. Zhablla (sp?) and Knox have really digressed this season, Lloyd still decent but not what she was her soph and jr seasons, there's no consistent outside shooting threat (Dyer is the only one but is hot and cold), and we just don't have that dual combo-platter inside/outside player (such as a Maddie Buck or Troy Huff). I make all the home games and it's really tough to watch this team at times. Sure hope they prove this negative Nancy wrong, really! 1 Quote

Expand It is not negative to point out the weaknesses unless you ignore the strengths. How about our halfcourt defense slowly becoming a thing of beauty? How about outrebounding your opponent by more than 2:1? How about burning every team we play with Dyer's inbounding passes under the basket? (How about Dyer's passing skills in general?) How about Smith gaining confidence on offense to go with her already dominant defensive presence? How about getting the hang of closing out close ones? Quote

Expand Gotta admit I do like Smith's developing confidence (still at times doesn't look so confident). No doubt though, a big presence in the middle and slowly picking up points underneath. IMO turnovers are what appear to be what will define the season/result each game. If they can limit them... Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 way way too many to's...almost unwatchable at times. fjeje is gonna be a player when she gets in shape. Quote

sprig Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Und 60, isu 57, Lloyd gets her first points of the game to win it at the end 1 Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 From 1-4 to 7-4. Nice job to turn the season around a little bit. 2 big ones at home though against Idaho and EWU. Quote
SiouxVolley Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Hats off to the ladies! A six game win streak to get in the thick of the Big Sky race. Quote
Smoggy Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Did we ever find out the deal on suspensions? i heard a rumor today that literally the girls were fighting??? Normally I wouldn't post this, but I haven't heard any other explanation and didn't even consider this. Years ago i was told that girls teams win when they are getting along. Guys teams get along when they are winning. Quote

Let's just hope they continue their strong play and can keep the underclassmen intact in the offseason for next year and beyond. Quote

Expand I suppose I should also note that I've heard that players are not allowed to speak to parents about anything relating to what goes on with program. This would explain why it's never gotten out what has happened. It's probably best this hasn't gotten out, but not sure I've heard of this type of "fear???" when it comes to speaking about the goings on of a team. Maybe it's more prevalent than I realize with D1 basketball. Quote

Expand That edict might have stemmed from a parent or two trying to encourage a player or two to play/ do things a certain way that may have been contrary to coaches' guidance. Yes, some choppy waters to be sure, but the fact it's relatively staying in house is a victory in itself. Quote

I've delayed so long posting this info, but it seemed relevant with what I heard today. I did not get the impression that the parents seem to have any problem with philosophy. So no I don't think the parents are forcing one direction or the other for their player. Quote
