Other than random threads, the only info we seem to have is thishttp://www.azdesertswarm.com/basketball/2017/3/13/14902182/ncaa-tournament-in-depth-look-analysis-arizona-wildcats-first-round-matchup-north-dakota-bracket Would you say this is pretty accurate? Will Fighting Hawks utilize a zone? Arizona's offense looks confused and constipated for a good few minutes when even a simple zone is implemented. Our 7'0 Serbian center Ristic actually does worse against smaller athletic 4s than traditional bigs. How athletic is your smaller front line? How deep does your bench run? Arizona will try to wear down as teams can go 8-9 deep depending on opponent. No one in the tourney is to be overlooked, but I'm interested to see how the low post size difference is compensated for. Wichita State cut us off at the knees last year, by completely shutting down our guards which starved our much bigger and stronger frontline. Though, Arizona's has a 15 seed loss in history, I believe it took a certain Steve Nash to accomplish that task. Regardless, I look forward to watching the game. From my reading of his style of play, I expect at least Hooker to go off. Thank you for allowing me to post on your forum. STEVE KERR! I am so old-school that I remember when Arizona fans would yell that when he scored. That was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was awesome. ha that is old school. I had no idea Lute had such connections to North Dakota. I'm looking forward to a smooth, high scoring, game tomorrow. I personally defense may go uut the door and it will be a shoot out, Here is an article about our end about how the Hawks will try to upset high praise to your backcourt http://www.azdesertswarm.com/basketball/2017/3/15/14941338/arizona-wildcats-basketball-north-dakota-fighting-hawks-backcourt-ncaa-tournament-hooker-crandall http://www.azdesertswarm.com/basketball/2017/3/15/14941802/ncaa-tournament-north-dakota-to-rebound-value-basketball-zone-upset-arizona-time-tv-preview looks like the zone won't happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geaux_sioux Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I am beyond curious to see what it's like for our guys to go again a premiere team with NBA talent all over their roster. I know we played Iowa but they aren't that good and we played like garbage against them. I still think Geno eats them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when you thought UND wouldn't be able to compete in Division I in any sport but football, and only Winona State and not UND could win a d2 basketball championship.
