This article posits that Lipscomb, Grand Canyon and Penn may be the next Final Four darling.

Almost all the underdog stars with a big run in the Big Dance have been non-football and non-hockey schools:  Gonzaga (back some time), Butler, George Mason, Va Commonwealth, FGCU, and most recently Loyola-Chicago.

Doesnt sound good for UND or any the the Dakotas.

Went to the Sioux luncheon today and Jones talked about the team. Mentioned that this is as talented of a bunch as he’s had here (coach talk). Also mentioned if we thought Jaron Nash and Troy Huff were athletic, wait until we see Jal, who he said comes in about 6’6” or 6’7”.

And 165lbs. Will be a fun guy to watch.

It was interesting how he phrased some of his comments about the team this year compared to last. No doubt there will be growing pains but I'm thinking the locker room will be better overall and will hopefully translate into success later into the season.

FGCU does have not 1 but 2 Club Hockey teams. They are poised to move to D1 hockey when the time is right as they have ruled out adding football.

And that means the FGCU mbb team will be dead as soon as the other sports arrive.

Penn has a football team too and all Philadelphia goes to the games.:whistling:

Jones is gonna have Nike socks on under his adidas socks in silent protest 

Who knows what the team will wear? As it was rumored that Adidas sent uniforms in Bison Green.  Nothing says we are excited to have you as a partner  and will pay attention to your details and your needs by sending uniforms in the wrong color. Lol

guys:

marko hit two threes

moody hit 2 or 3..one from really deep...quick release (mcdermott who?)

lucas will be a serviceable 6'10 or 11...left and has "nice" form

bento-super quick with huge vertical

brooks--looks like he could suprise

latvian point guard-good frame on him

jal-not sure what to make of him right now...just a physical freak. 

 

women:

I agree. It was a quick glimpse but I thought Marko looks like he has some real potential..  This team might surprise..  I also haven"t figured out jal at all.  Maybe real upside or not quite ready yet.  we will see.    It will be interesting..  Moody will have some nights where he is on fire  and some nights where he is not. He is a wild card..  But could be one of those type players that might fans  come to watch just to see If he is going to light it up..  Excited for year.
