SWSiouxMN Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 After dropping a close one last week, UND finally gets back on the home court to take on ISU, who is rolling into town on a 4 game winning streak. UND has never lost to ISU in Big Sky play, going 6-0 and including a 84-76 victory in Poky this year. However, this will be a stiffer test with how Telfair has been playing lately and he drop 37 points in the first meeting. Luzcando is also coming off a big performance (30 points) against NAU. UND will enter its toughest stretch of the season. Home against ISU, then Weber. Then a trip to EWU and Idaho on the docket. Then a home docket with UNC. To spell it out, UND has a crack at the four teams that currently sit at the same position as UND. UND has a crack to win the tiebreakers with ISU and EWU with victories. It will be a tall order for UND to get all 5, no question about it. Could they... you bet! Could they lose them all... yes. Will UND still be in the running for the top 4 seed when it is all said and done? We start answering that question tomorrow night Other Games: Weber (7-1) @ UNC (5-4) Mont (8-1) @ Sac (2-6) MSU (4-5) @ PSU (3-5) EWU (5-4) @ NAU (1-8) Idaho (5-4) @ SUU (2-7) The Call: Bassy's Bro and the Chilean kid will keep ISU competitive, but UND will want to defend the home court, and I look for Avants, Drick, and Shanks to have decent to big games in the post to come away with a 10 point win UND 81-71 Quote
homer Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Big game tomorrow night. ISU is playing pretty good ball right now. Looking forward to the stretch run. Quote
hoops44 Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 UND opens as a surprisingly large 8 point favorite Quote
Nodak78 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 UND is one point shy of covering spread with 12 minutes left of the first half. Quote
siouxfan512 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 It might be better if shanks just fouls out early. Lookin kind of rough at both ends. Quote

Teeder11 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 UND all of a sudden up by 21. Lots of Hooker and a little Shanks and Crandall. Quote
jdub27 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Hell of a first half by McBuckets 2.0. Good defense on Telfair. Nice start to the second half. Quote
Teeder11 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 73-50. UND. Just UNDER 3 minutes to play. Quote

Teeder11 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Hooker with the first triple double in UND BASKETBALL history! What? Wow! Quote
jdub27 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Triple double for Hooker. He's not too bad. McBuckets 2.0 was absolutely on fire. Quote
LDL Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 this was a nice game. best I've seen as far as passing goes for a long time. 1 Quote
Popular Post Teeder11 Posted February 5, 2016 Popular Post Posted February 5, 2016 For those into that kind of thing, Jones shook hands nicely and walked away calmly. He didn't throw his neck tie on the court like Brew nor did he publicly give any officials the bird. I guess that's a fascination among some. ( ; 5 Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 of course Hooker gets a triple double when I DONT watch the game. But I can finally use this! It was a good day! 2 Quote
homer Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Best defensive game I've seen this team play so far. Loved it on FSN Plus. Watched the game at a packed resteraunt downtown Minneapolis. Great showing for the team and a bunch of Minneapolis kids. Cant wait until Saturday. 3 Quote
F'n Hawks Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Nice win tonight, it seems like shanks issues are more mental than anything right now Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 congrats to the athletic dept to TRY and get butts in the seats...probably an extra 500 or so because of the aerospace tie in...good crowd and good game. 3 Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 The other winners tonight: Weber, EWU, Idaho, Portland, and in the upset of the night... Sac State Quote
MoSiouxFan Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 One of the best defensive games that I've ever seen UND play. We'll probably need a better one Saturday. Quote
