Popular Post darell1976 Posted March 16, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 16, 2017 If anytime is the right time for Jones to get his first win against a ranked team tonight would be perfect. Fighting Hawks upset Arizona, advance to the second round. That would be a great headline Friday morning in the Grand Forks Herald. 6 Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 I pick Cortez Seales to steal the show tonight. To win we need someone to go way over and beyond. Cortez will have a monster night. He can't be stopped when he decides to go to the basket. We need about 25 from him. Quote

UND Fan Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 1 hour ago, ArtVandalay said: I'm here. No band. No cheerleaders. Even the Jacks have band and cheerleaders. This may seem trivial but their absence to me is unacceptable. Implies that no one thought this through or some dumb people are making some decisions. A trip to NCAA basketball tournament is a wonderful marketing opportunity to showcase your university. Now, we will be the school that has fight song being played over PA. All the bands and cheerleaders were even at respective practice/media sessions yesterday. Weak damn sauce! Cheerleaders are here (talked to a few of them last night) but the band is not. I assume that is because of spring break and the $ needed to get them here. I don't know if I like it but we have hired a local high school band that is to be really good to "make some noise" for us. 1 Quote

Really glad the cheerleaders made it, not surprised about the band. Interesting move to hire a local high school band. That's a pretty cool thing for them. Quote

That's a pretty cool thing for them. It actually happens more often than you'd think. Deadspin had an article on something like it a few years back. Nice to hear the cheerleaders are there and the University did something beyond giving the PA announcer a recording of the school song. Quote

It would be nice if Cortez can work his magic. I think the sleeper is Baldwin. He may have more open shots than either Q or G. Quote

hoops44 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 “I think their guards are as good of a tandem as we've faced, especially when you look at their production,” Miller said. “They combine for about 35 points per game.” Hooker, a 6-foot senior, averages 19.1 points per game this season, shooting 47 percent from the field, 44 percent from 3, and 88 percent from the charity stripe. He also averages 3.6 assists and 1.8 steals per game. Crandall, a 6-foot-3 sophomore, is posting 15.6 points and a team-high 4.3 assists and 2.1 steals per content. He shoots 50 percent from the field and 36 percent from 3. “They do it both on defense and offense,” Miller said. “If you look at their steals, they really disrupt the other team. I think they combine for about five steals a game. But they're pesky, they set the tone for their defense.“But [North Dakota is a] very well coached, tough team. When you win your regular season, which we did, and then you win your conference tournament, I think it says a lot about kind of your heart. And I think they're a team that has a big heart. And it's going to be a tough game Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 the best/only way to win this game is the 4 guard (q, geno, corey, and tez) 1 forward (drick/avants) combination and hope the three's drop and those two forwards stay out of foul trouble....this should be fun!! und 65 az 64 3 Quote
bigskyvikes Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Seems wrong to have the Bison news channel reporting from the game! Couldn't WDAZ sports go there, or are both there and I'm watching the wrong channel? Edit, just seen it is on WDAZ! That looks better... Quote

It is safe to say we have a bit more going on than they do right now. Some of you need to take a step back from the ledge and pop a xanex. Same old thing for hockey. They should take a backseat this weekend. UND and "ol' time hockey" are the butt of all jokes amongst people who realize football and basketball is where the potential really lies. 1 Quote
dmksioux Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Just watched the VNL sports cast from SLC. Beth Houle (sp?) reported that's Geno is battling an injured ankle. Did he injure it in the conference tourney? I don't recall seeing or hearing anything about it? Quote

SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 every time their seven footer is on the court send drick up to screen about 26 feet away and let geno or q drive and kick...guys need to make those shots tho!! make the 7 footer move around Quote
geaux_sioux Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 I've got two game beer options. Labat Blue, my go to for football. Apparent Horizon from Schells Noble Star Collection. I'll start with the blue collar beer and if the mojo isn't right I'll swith to the fancy stuff. Quote
