SWSiouxMN Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 After dropping a tough one to North Florida, UND looks to bounce back against the host team Wright State, coached by former SDSU head coach Scott Nagy. The big key in this one is to slow down the exciting Mark Alstork, who is averaging 29 ppg, including a 39 point performance a few weeks ago against Toledo. He had 24 in a 68-64 in against CSU-Bakersfield. Will get to the line at will. The guards are going to have to be active rebounders, as their best ones are 6'3 and 6'4 in height. Again, another tough game but a game that UND can and should win Game once again is on ESPN3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIOUX29 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Seriously, Does Yogi Berra coach/play for us. Deja Vu all over again. Bad shot, Bad decision, only when it's crunch time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND-FB-FAN Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 This is a broken record. Same crap every season. Would you all like to actually support a UND men's basketball program that can annually compete for the NCAA tourney? If so, let's hope for the "I wont say it" next spring. Look at what Bubba's hiring has done for the football program despite some advocating for more Mussman football. Well, the same can be done for UND men's basketball if Faison cuts ties in the spring. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But only conference play matters, CIT matters, transition, young team, cold weather. Excuses are a mile long why this guy is still coaching, and Faison hasn't bothered to pull the plug on him like he did to Mussman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND1983 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 But they aren't supposed to win these games, remember? Wright State and North Florida are above UND, as is every OOC opponent. It's all about conference play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfan512 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Does OOC play mean anything in terms of making the tourney? No. Does OOC play mean anything in terms of this team developing a winning identity? Absolutely! Losing these close back and forth games in such close fashion will absolutely translate into conference play, or even tourney play. I've really enjoyed watching this guys, but it is extremely frustrating to watch the most consistent part of the game be blowing it late. Hope they can figure it out quickly.

I don't think Faison gave him another extension. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did that conversation go? You likely won't be coaching here anymore unless you make the conference championship game this season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagger Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Miserable first half by UND. Avants has had a tough 3 game road trip, and Crandall has been worse than Avants. Shanks undisciplined. Hooker also had a bad half. No where to go but up in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux24/7 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Shanks is not very good. Hasn't developed at all in the time he's been here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-1 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 These non-conference games drum up hype for the rest of the season and home games. Constantly losing them does nothing to promote the program and basically forces the MBB to start winning conference games to build hype. By that time it's February already. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodak651 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I just don't care anymore. Shanks just air balled a free throw... Would love to be able to drive down to the UNI or Iowa game this year, but there is just no hope for this team non conference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When things get to the point where apathy sets in. If fans are angry and venting, that is a good sign. If fans start to feel apathy, that is a bad sign. MBB hasn't been relevant for so long (20+ years) that apathy is starting to settle in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
