SWSiouxMN Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 An impressive defensive performance and an excellent shooting performance by Doug... I mean Adam McD lead to an impressive victory over ISU. Now UND turns its attention to Big Sky leader Weber State. UND took a 74-62 setback against Weber in the first matchup, including giving up a 20-20 game to Bolomboy. UND is 0-8 all time vs Weber. An opportunity exist to knock off the Big Sky leaders at home and give this team a lot of momentum going into the biggest road swing of the year (EWU/Idaho). It will be a tough game as always but if they can put it all together against Weber.. I don't see why they cannot win. With that said, they do need to find a way to get Joel off the boards. He absolutely destroyed us with 23 rebounds, including 10 on the offensive side. Shanks, Avants, and Drick will be tested against quite possibly the best player in the conference. Senglin needs to be contained as well, as he can light it up from behind the arc. Hooker and Geno need to be ready for some tough D. Other Games: ISU (5-4) @ UNC (5-5) MONT (8-2) @ PSU (4-5) EWU (6-4) @ SUU (2-8) Idaho (6-4) @ NAU (1-9) MSU (4-6) @ SAC (3-6) The Call: UND can play with Weber, it has shown it in the past, however it just seems like 1 or 2 stretches of play seem to be the difference between Weber winning and UND winning the game. Something as got to give here. UND plays well for 40+ minutes... and pulls an upset in overtime UND 77-75 OT 1 Quote
hoops44 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 T Wolves will be in town scouting Bolomboy.... Need to slow him down a bit from the last time UND played Weber when he went off for a double 20.... WSU's Joel Bolomboy is one of 10 finalists for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award. Quote

You must mean the Lew Alcindor award. Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 This is a big game for UND MBB, so per history, I expect Jones to choke this one away at the end. I hope I'm wrong. If UND wins, then times may be fortunately changing for UND men's hoops. Quote

Fire Jones he does not hug the opposing coach when his team loses, he coached in tennis shoes last game and today he is coaching barefoot...FIRE JONES this behavior is unnacceptable 4 Quote

Brian Jones. The head coach (the ultimate decision maker) receives credit when the team wins and, rightfully so, receives blame when the team loses. Quote
jdub27 Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Future Hawk Billy Brown should be at the game. Quote
F'n Hawks Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Just now, homer said: Shanks struggling at the start Whats new Quote
siouxfan512 Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Shanks to the bench is probably a good thing 1 Quote

When Hooker makes a great play or scores a bucket it's because he is a great player. When he misses a last second shot or throws the ball away it's the coaches fault for recruiting him. Got it. 1 Quote
Rock Chalk Fighting Hawk Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Just love how Avants is competing with bolomboy. Shanks needs to stay on the bench. Quote
F'n Hawks Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 McD again... He has been playing some good basketball lately 1 Quote
homer Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 These officials are dog !@#$. Jones is doing a better job keeping composure than I would. Quote
Nodak78 Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Very good half of basketball we need to fallow up with another 20. Quote
homer Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Hawks up 42-34 at half. Refs keeping Weber in this one as UND was ready to blow it open. Quote
