UND moves onto game 2 of the season and the middle portion of the non-d1 creampuff schedule.  After easily dispatching Crown, its time for in-state Mayville.

Hopefully will have the services of the 4 that missed due to suspension (get to class guys!) and get a much better look at what the rotation will look like going into the season.  As much as I don't like these games, I like the fact they are all at once and can be gotten out of the way.  Am interested to see how Rolls-Tyson and Kinsey bring to the table. 

Is it next Friday yet? 

[Cratter]

Thanks for putting the date and time. 

19-17 Mayville St.

Three for UND

20-19 UND.

Back and forth so far.

10 min left in first half.

43-35 UND at halftime. Not great.

Mayville looks great........

ugly ball.  Mayville playing up to their ability and then some

[SWSiouxMN]

Any reason why our two Juco recruits aren't playing?  Still suspension related?

[Cratter]

Teams looked pretty even most of the game.

From what I understand, they are not as talented as we had hoped -especially the kid from England.  I suppose they Are hoping they will be better after another year of development.

Agree!!

 

[CMSioux]

Last year I thought they had overcome their freethrow issues - tonight ugh, hopefully it's just a lack of focus. 

[hoops44]

Kinsey is pretty athletic and had a handful of D1 offers  he was projected to be first guard off the bench... 

[SWSiouxMN]

letting Mayville hang around isn't exactly what the doctor ordered.  #3 is just unconscious right now for Mayville

[CMSioux]

Shanks needs to focus on rebounding and stuffing the dish passes - not much else, especially shooting threes.

Final 94-66 These games are a no-win if you blow them out it's expected if it's anything close it's a disaster. 

[Cratter]

Someone is new at the tv scoreboard.

It was 0 0 after half and now it says Maryville 94 UND 66.

Agreed, it would be great to have a better non-conference home schedule.

At least play one of the 346 other D-1 teams.

[SWSiouxMN]

finally started to look a little bit decent towards the end.  Its a win and Geno and Shanks got to get their feet wet in this young season.  Hooker was Hooker yet again. Quite surprised to see Brown get decent minutes in the rotation. I really hope we can get a lot out of Seales this year.

Surprising that Seales did not play or score much.  Really need someone to replace McBuckets threes.  Kienan Walter may be that three point shooter, but not yet.  It's most the Hooker show it seems.  Looking for more balanced scoring.

Brown looked good once again in the minutes I watched.

No money i was told on another thread. But it seems the women and even the other DI team in the state can find a non conference opponent at home other than us.

NDSU paid an absurd amount to Ark St to open their new digs.  They didn't have the cash left to schedule more DIs.

Women's bball doesn't have a big pot of gold dependent on scheduling so it's much easier to get big name teams to come here, like Iowa.

Ark St, UND, and UC Davis is what NDSU has at home, and we only have NDSU when they all agreed to a home/home.

A lot of women's team can make as much traveling for guarantees as they can playing at home. The same isn't the case for men's teams. 

You also can't force teams to sign a home and home, especially when they have closer options. There isn't a single person who doesn't wish there wasn't at least another D1 game or two.

Do you know what is considered a money game in Women's College Basketball?  About 20k.  A money game in Men's college basketball like UND going to Wisconsin 90 to 110K.  Now lets reverse it what if UND wants to bring into a mid to low major for just a one off game how much would that mid to low major need to consider it? My understanding is 40 to 60K. 40 if you're beatable and closer ro 60 if that isnt a given from what I hear.  I gaurantee you that Iowa isn't getting anything like that or requesting that to come play here tomorrow night.  Why?  Because it's womens basketball and the fiscal dynamics are completely different than that of Men's basketball.   Sadly, UND's Athletics budget is such right now that there is no way to pony up to bring in a team...and it would have taken some ponying too, at least this year, because the word is out that we may actually be decent, and nobody is going to come and risk a loss without some definite coin in the pocket.   Bottom line, we need coin or to have our school in a different part of the country where there are many D1's like a Weber State-  they can arrange a Utah State(Logan), BYU (Provo) Utah(SLC) or Utah Valley(Orem)-all are just down the road.  It's an entirely different game for Men's basketball scheduling than it is for women.
