darell1976 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 It's a sad state of affairs when in year 10, losing by 15 on your home court is convoluted as progress.FYP 1 Quote
niouxsiouxfan Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 If they get embarrassed tonight, I wonder who Jones is going to deflect blame on. Then I predict another thread is going to blow up! (Just call me Carnac - for the young ones Google Carnac the Magnificent) 2 Quote

JohnboyND7 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Does the Betty sell beer? If so, is it as outrageous as getting one (or three) at the Ralph? Quote
jdub27 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Does the Betty sell beer? If so, is it as outrageous as getting one (or three) at the Ralph? Yes. Not quite, couple bucks less. Also mixed drinks up in whatever lounge is called now. Quote

Oxbow6 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 UND keeps it close the first 15 minutes..........NDSU stretches it to a 8-10 point lead at half. UND "just balls" in 2nd half..........NDSU wins by 20+. #extendjones Quote

UND "just balls" in 2nd half..........NDSU wins by 20+. #extendjonesI'm pretty sure gfhockey has never been more correct on here than his analysis of the Jones "just ball" offense. Makes me giggle too.I have always called it the "noonball" offense, but I guess I have to yield and "hail" on this one. Quote
Cratter Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 i like what I'm hearing.The "bar" is on the West side of the stands in the middle. The veteran (smart) drinking basketball fans make sure to buy tickets on that side. It opens up to the court for an easy walking distance to your seat. Quote
Cratter Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Few hours til game time and 250+ tickets still remain. Will it sell out or will UND Fighting Hawks fans stay home and watch the hockey team beat Duluth? Quote
UND92,96 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Of UND's top nine scorers right now, only Hooker played in last year's NDSU game. It's pretty incredible how dramatically UND's roster has changed for the second year in a row. Quote
Siouxper Slam 29 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Anyone have a prediction for attendance tonight? Last year was 3142 Quote
Cratter Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Anyone have a prediction for attendance tonight? Last year was 3142Last year.... they played in the Betty.Supposedly the Betty holds 3,300. 1 Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 If UND and Jones blow this game like the UNI game, Jones best be packing his bags. I will be attending this evening and it's hard for me to get too excited; UND men's basketball just has no direction as of now. 1 Quote
Cratter Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) What's acceptable?I'd say if UND doesn't have a chance to win, 6-8 points deficit within the last two-three minutes, it will be a "bad loss."UND blew NDSU out of the water last time at the Betty.If NDSU (blew UND out of the water at home ever time they played including a 30 point beating last year) blows UND out of the water it shows the trend @UNDbasketball is not where it needs to be. And needs to stop the gap before it gets worse. Edited December 11, 2015 by Cratter Quote
dakotadan Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 UND will protect the "hawks nest" No, just no.The hawk nickname is horrible enough itself. We don't need to start adding other stupid nicknames like this. Quote
niouxsiouxfan Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 No, just no.The hawk nickname is horrible enough itself. We don't need to start adding other stupid nicknames like this. What, the cast of hawks can't defend their territory? Quote
Cratter Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) No, just no.The hawk nickname is horrible enough itself. We don't need to start adding other stupid nicknames like this. Had my first "aha" moment today.....living in Fargo...."Bison Fan?"......I replied, "No, I'm a Sioux Fan....I guess Hawks fan." First time it really hit me. "Hawks Nest" only a matter of time before its incorporated into UND athletics somehow. There's plenty of data out there to show the odds of what is to come with the 8th most popular collegiate athletics name. Edited December 11, 2015 by Cratter Quote
The Sicatoka Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 An NDSU fan asked me to wager. I said I'd need points. They agreed and asked how many points I'd want. I referenced the UNI fiasco and said "40". 1 Quote

Makes me giggle too.I have always called it the "noonball" offense, but I guess I have to yield and "hail" on this one.They actually run an offense, that is generally ineffective (swing the ball around and wait for someone to see lane and attack). Then when that breaks down, it becomes a ball screen offense, again usually ineffective because teams have multiple defenders in the paint waiting. This would be a good option with the guards we have, but their is no backside action to help pull defenders out. Need the shooters hitting from deep to make that offense work. Here's to good luck tonite! Someone have one for me at the"Cantina," wish I could make it there. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted December 12, 2015 Author Posted December 12, 2015 Be safe traveling. A little slick out there.The only acceptable result is winning. Quote
Hawkster Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Sorry if this is posted someone, I miss things at times, anyway is there any way to watch this game? Hopefully someone has it some where. Quote
Cratter Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Sorry if this is posted someone, I miss things at times, anyway is there any way to watch this game? Hopefully someone has it some where.We need a place that says:What game do you want to watch?Click that schedule on the UND website for that sport.The UND website site says: MidcoSN, FCS Pacific ▪ 100.3-FM ▪ Live Audio ▪ WatchBigSky ▪ Live Stats ▪ TicketsI know I'm guilty of thinking if its not on this website its not anywhere.
