UND (7-5) @ Idaho (7-5)

[SWSiouxMN]

UND looks to salvage a split on this tough road trip as they head down to Moscow to take on Idaho.  Idaho got a nice 6 point win at home against UNC on Thursday

This is not the same Idaho team that beat UND 74-71 in Grand Forks, they have suffered injuries to their two top scorers and are not playing at the same high level as before.

Cannot understate that this is a must win for UND on the road to prevent Idaho from taking that all critical tiebreaker and keeping UND in the hunt for that 1st round bye and continue to gain separation from the 8-12 place crowd of teams. Also to regain a little momentum heading into the last 3 home conference games of the year (and they are all pretty winnable as well)

Other games:

UNC (5-7) @ EWU (8-4)

SAC (3-8) @ ISU (7-4)

PSU (4-7) @ Weber (9-2)

SUU (2-10) @ MSU (6-6)

NAU (2-10) @ MONT (10-2)

The call:

UND will bounce back and will give a better road performance and take a key road victory

74-67

So are their 2 top players still out?  If so we should take this one on the road.

no

[UND1983]

Yes

[Siouxphan27]

And.... we're live.  

[Cratter]

Nice start by UND 9-1.

[UND1983]

Good start.  Good D.  Very active looking for steals.

[Siouxphan27]

 

good no basket call by the refs on the shotclock violation.

[Siouxphan27]

Avants is the Rodney Dangerfield of taking charges. 

[Dagger]

It is like Ground Hog day with Shanks.  He is very predictable.  How long do  the coaches let it continue?

[UND1983]

Getting killed on offensive boards.  Reason why they blew this lead already.  18-18 at under four timeout.

[bincitysioux]

22 All at the half

[sioux2013]

That was one ugly half for both teams.  22-22

22-9 on the boards... yuck!

Also: Geno with 3 fouls! double yuck!

If UND continues to play this ol' fashion Jones style of basketball (no ball movement, no rebounding) on the road, they won't win a single meaningful game in Reno. 

[UND1983]

22-22 at half.  Lost their way in last 8-10 mins.

Losing 22-9 on the boards

Settling for shots; no quality attempts or drives that result in free throws...

Offensive flow is, well, lacking.

I agree with the comments but we are 2 of 4 from the line.
