UND (10-7) @ MSU (8-9) (3/5 3PM Central)

[UND1983]

4th place and a bye on the line and that is all they had to give.  MSU sucks, too.  They are the 7 seed for a reason.  

Embarrassing.

Where are Hoops44 and others with their take on our efforts in Montana?

Maybe winning on the road in the BSC isn't so hard, except if you are Jones. 31 road wins since 2008 that's just under 4 road wins a year.

In fairness to Jones, he  is not the person missing all the easy shots.

You can only use that line so many times before it becomes stale. Jones has been here for over a decade and he owns the product on the floor. Nobody else.

UND was a 1.5 pt underdog vs Montana St.

Yet another .500 season.  After all we have seen this year, from them playing much better as a team, beating Weber, to this dismal showing in Montana.  All that and they are actually no better than any of his other .500 teams.  

A week ago he had me fooled.  A broken record.  

[SiouxVolley]

At least UND should have a warm up game before the quaterfinals.  Byes and double byes often don't suit other teams.  Reno is not at much elevation either, as compared to the Montanas.

As much as I would like to get an NCAA bid (it would be a play-in game), this team needs a new coachapter to have a prosperous future.

What's wrong with UND trying to win the Big Sky Conference in all sports? If there's nothing wrong with that, then Jones needs to go and a quality leader needs to be hired to replace him. This broken record has been on for too long.

Fact  und 3.5 pt underdog vs Montana St....Montana a 14 point favorite...they need to fire their coach

Fact:  they are 14-4 and go to the tourney all the time.  Fact:  their fans couldn't care less about that loss cause they are so used to winning.  

Jones did better with this team but they are still going to be 1 game over .500.  Again.  5th place in Big Sky.  Yippee.

Actually tournaments counts in the W-L record, so he could finish a couple or more above .500 or he could be at .500 (if no CIT invite). Worst case loses in round 1 of the BSC tournament and loses in the 1st round of the CIT finishes 15-16. Either way he hasn't had a winning record since 17-14 in the last season of the GWC (2011-12).

despite the disastrous road trip, this could still set up nicely for UND in Reno.  Provided Idaho beats ISU tonight.
