There are very few sporting events that can match the intensity and suspense of an important tightly contested back and forth basketball game. With the ESPN exposure, and the classic finish of the game, makes it more important that we sink some serious $$$ into it. 3 Quote
UND-1 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 That was unbelievable. Gotta give credit to Jones and his staff for somehow keeping them in it late when they could have folded. Unreal. We know who our coach is for the next 3-4 years, at least. Let's embrace it now and move on. 2 Quote
dmksioux Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 UND jumped up quite a bit in RPI by winning the tournament. Currently ranked at 121. 4 Quote
tnt Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Well WDAY started their sportscast with Moorhead losing the State Championship game. I get they are local, but if the Bison made the Dance again they would have spent 15 minutes at the beginning of the whole newscast. Doesn't feel like the good for the state sentiment, which is fine, but at least recognize the importance of a first time event versus Moorhead losing in the title game for the 8th time. 3 Quote

The Fargo media can suck our exhaust fumes for all I care. The bottom line is, we are getting national exposure and (for once) NDSU is not. 2 Quote
sioux24/7 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 CSU Bakersfield playing on ESPNu right now for there ship. Would be a nice win on the resume. 1 Quote

The internet has leveled the playing field for getting the message out via the "media" in 2017 and helps out UND and GF being in a smaller market as less and less people pay attention to the local tv news.

Siouxperfan7 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I assume there will be a selection show Party at the Betty tomorrow with the team. I wonder if ESPN will have a camera there. They always like to show the "first timers" reaction. Quote

MoSiouxFan Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Huge congratulations to Coach Jones and the Fighting Hawks on a great win and a great season! Was afraid to take my blood pressure the last few minutes of the game. Q is a winner, as is the entire team. They never give up. They've learned how to win the close wins; makes all the difference in the world. 3 Quote

Cratter Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I'm not going to be a happy camper if UND didn't even send someone to Reno with a camera to record post game celebrations (cutting down the net) and post it to their youtube channel. 1 Quote

I'm tired of being happy to be there. LETS WIN THE DAMN THING for once! And we did win the DAMN THING baby for once! Yah! Quote

NONE. Yah, in retrospect we won, but great point you made. A week or two ago we lost at home we lost at home on Thur night and I said while Bernstine had a real nice game, he was our leading scorer and that was the problem when you have Q, Geno, Baldwin, and Cortez on your team. Bernstine leads in scoring means he had a good game but it also likely means we ain't winning, same thing with Avants, unless we end up with 6 - 7 guys in double figures scoring. Quote

Would be awesome to see the entire post game on court festivities! Quote
