hoops44 Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Undefeated in BSC play powerhouse Weber St. struts their stuff into Grand Forks for a for a clash with the Fighting Hawks on Thursday... Weber picked by almost every expert to win the BSC is living up to its billing. Weber is on a 7 game Winning Streak... I look for the Vegas line to open at even to Weber -2 points range This is a fairly critical game for UND if they plan on getting a first round BSC tourney bye. I think UND needs the game more than Weber and gets the W at home Quote
petey23 Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 This would be a huge statement game for UND. It would let them know they are capable of beating anyone in the league and hopefully would propel them on a nice runh to finish the season. Quote
CMSioux Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 So many variables... Will Geno be a stud or a dud? (love his enthusiasm and skills but some games...) Will Dirk show he's top tier in the conference? Avants will be Avants - that's a good thing. Can Carson avoid the mystery fouls he seems to get every game and remember his only sure shot is a dunk. Need Quint to be our floor leader and get his numbers. We have the talent and game plan - giving up offensive rebounds, missing free throws, turnovers that is what brings us down - all those are within our control. Quote
UND-1 Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 UND outplayed them last year at home (the only time UND has beaten Weber). Great game to watch, team played inspired. Need Geno and Hooker to take over again like they did in that game. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 My x factor in this game is Geno, if he comes to play UND will take care of business at home. My gut says UND wins this by 5. Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Can't wait for this one. Its great that we have shown we can play with the best in the Big Sky and beat them. If this is a close game in the second half, I like our chances. Our FT shooting has been clutch this year. Especially down the stretch. That is my X factor I guess. Quote

That performance cannot be overlooked, even if UND has come around since then; UND lost a game and a chance to sweep NDSU with that performance at the charity stripe. Quote

Well, besides that game Since then UND is shooting 73% from the line. If you take out the Iowa game where we shot 6 for 19, we are 80% from the line since the Bison game. The shooting all around in the last Bison game can't be ignored. But the team has shown that it has moved on and improved. As shown by the numbers. Quote

hoops44 Posted January 18, 2017 Author Posted January 18, 2017 Weber opens as a one point fav... Quote
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 This is really an important game to win, to get the team mentally set to win a majority of the remaining games. Quote

Frank "math" doesnt tell the whole story. Had UND made more free throws than NDSU attempted, especially early in the game, the game would've been played far different down the stretch. NDSU extended the lead late in the game while UND was trying to catchup- completely different style of basketball when UND was trying to play "catchup". UND dug themselves into a hole. And I didn't say the poor free throw shooting was on the staff, so that's you hearing voices. 1 Quote

BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Looking forward to going to this game, expecting a good crowd. Quote
darell1976 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Very sloppy shooting early on. Missed like 5 layups/tipins in a row. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Crazy start for both teams UND 7 Weber 6 15:57 1st Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Weebs on a run, TO UND Weber 16 UND 11 13:10 1st. Quote

darell1976 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Seems like they can't score right at the basket but can hit outside and hit jumpers. Crandall is hot!! Quote
