Outlook: 2 weeks remaining in regular season

[UND-FB-FAN]

To consider the next two weeks a success, UND (13-12, 8-6, 6th BSC) needs to go 3-1 and finish in the top 4. 

Final four games:

vs. Portland State (9-16, 5-9 BSC)

vs. Sacramento State (11-14, 4-10 BSC)

at Montana (17-8, 12-2 BSC)

at Montana State (12-14, 7-7 BSC)

Defeating Montana in Missoula will be difficult, but UND cannot afford to lose the other three. If UND goes 2-2 or worse, they will not receive a top 4 seed for the Big Sky Conference tournament. If UND falters down the stretch, Coach Jones' job status needs to yet be questioned. There is a lot of young talent on this team; they all deserve to be properly coached.

3rd EWU (10-5)

@ Idaho (9-6)

ISU (9-5)

Didn't cut and paste correctly.  It should be women's on the left and men's on the right.
