Nice win, 17 turnovers by ISU helped a lot. Here’s hoping for a big winning streak like last year.

First off: We finally snap the long losing streak and got conference win number 1 (didn't see the last 7 minutes as I had to run to Target)

Now for the legit bones:

Built off of the MSU performance nicely, 4 players in double figures with three other players just one off of getting there themselves.  There was a lot more usage of a 4 guard lineup with Dale/Avants anchoring the 5 spot. It helps when you have now 4 capable guards to run that now that Tray has step into a productive role.  Was nice to see them shoot well from the field and from beyond the arc for a change.  Seales had a productive night, and I felt Brown played his best game at UND tonight. 

Interesting development was the lack of minutes of both Walter and Jafar in this one, be interesting to track this over the next few games to see if a trend develops.  UND only played 7 players extensive minutes (20+) and they looked pretty good. 

Geno needs to snap out of his funk and fast.  

Weber comes in Saturday, be a big win to get at home and get to 2-4. Find a way to meatloaf the conference road trip and finish the first half of play 4-5 and UND will be in semi-decent shape for the 2nd half.

Looks like jones is banking McCauley til next season...never heard what type of season ending injury he suffered, but he was a fairly high ranked juco recruit who was ahead of Collins in the rotation prior to his mystery injury.
