sioux24/7 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 This is BS! Jones sucks... he is losing to a team with Adidas gear!That'd be great if someone asked him about that and his response. Quote
nodak651 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Why do we drive to the net EVERY POSSESSION!? Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Why do we drive to the net EVERY POSSESSION!?Because Jones doesn't have an offensive system. As "gfhockey" says, they just go out and play freestyle. Also, the absolute chaos that is UND's paint defense is pathetic to watch. No attempt to block anyone out or secure the boards. They just play volleyball and tap it to the other team.I would love to say that this is just a result of UND playing a better team, but Wisconsin is young and not a juggernaut as indicated by their loss to Western Illinois.Furthermore, and probably most importantly, Jones' teams have always had problems with offensive rhythm and defensive rebounding, so I expect this trend to continue. 1 Quote
sioux24/7 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 Geno killed it from the 3-point line at the end of the game 6 for 6. North Dakota falls 78-64 thanks to Crandall drilling 3s at the end. Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 drick and geno looked good...avants looked like a guy they found at the hotel and asked on a dare to play...shanks still soft and crap...this team will get better but the fundamentals are what are shockinly missing. Quote

Jones' teams don't have fundamentals. If the Huff, Anderson, Webb, etc. group would have had fundamentals to go along with their talent, they would have won the Big Sky Conference their senior season. Same goes for this current young group; I'm sure they'll improve, but they'll never learn enough from Jones to where they can be the best in the petty Big Sky Conference. Real disappointing. Quote

Teeder11 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I was surprised in a good way. They will only get better! Quote
sioux24/7 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 I didn't notice Avants much in this game but I think he will be a fun player to watch in the coming years. Hard-nosed and active rebounder. Plays a bit like Brekke. Quote
darell1976 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 We lost by 14 to Wisconsin, which isn't too bad (last year they lost to 2 power teams by more than 30 points). Lets just hope maturity kicks in and the bugs of playing a "real" opponent gets out and we can compete against teams not in the Big 10. A lot of work to do, and heat is on Jones' seat but if we can get a big win (UNI) maybe this team can gain some confidence or its going to be a long season. Quote
Teeder11 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I've heard good things about Avants, too. Quote

gfhockey Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Herald use to send a writer to money games they didn't send anyone this time cuz they lost interest and no jones team don't show for big time gsmes 2 Quote
sioux24/7 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 Game was definitely not a 14 point game. As gfhockey pointed out, garbage time. 2 Quote

They were down by 25 late in the game until UW lost interest. It was not a 14 point game. Going into the season I thought perhaps UND's talent may be too much for NDSU to overcome when they play, but I'm not too worried after watching tonight. I would give UND 10 points for the home court, but Richman vs Jones in coaching may be worth 20 for NDSU, so I see about a 10 point NDSU win. 2 Quote

A lot can change for either team. UND has played 1 game vs DI opponents while NDSU has played 2. Both teams have 6 games between now and Dec. 11th, after your game on Dec 6th lets see where both teams lie with more games under their belt. Quote
darell1976 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Just curious has there been any marketing for UND basketball like tv commercials or billboards? Anything that says "hey UND is hosting XXXX this week". 1 Quote

darell1976 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Seen plenty of commercials for the Big 4 package. Thats good. We need to market basketball more than say hockey. Hockey takes care of its self, while other sports (sadly enough) need a little boost to tell fans "hey we are in town come on out". 1 Quote
