UND (2-5, 8-12) vs USD (2-4, 8-11) 1/23 7 PM

[SWSiouxMN]

I would love to go deep on this preview... but I am going to simply say this

UND needs to win this game... period. There are 3 winnable games in the next 4.  Time to turn the season around. 

[SWSiouxMN]

No Avants tonight

Rebraca will start in his place.

 

[FSSD]

too bad, because I think that USD is weak down low.  Having both Rebraca and Avants on the floor would have caused problems

[FSSD]

Tonight it will be interesting to see if the seniors figure out how to close out the game.  3 tough losses (UNI, SDSU and NDSU) winning those would have changed the direction of the season.  Of course it is not too late.  But, if it comes down to crunch time do you still go the Seals, Avants and Stewart..... or do you go Brown and Moody.

[Kab]

So we come out flat

stupid ass pass again

no fire

thanks jones

 

[Kab]

Jones coaching is a 10 point deficit to start every game 

[petey23]

This game and effort so far is putrid.

[Kab]

Stewart should be a leader but I don’t see it from him

where the hell is the game plan 

our jr. high boys coach said she could come up with better game plans

 

[UND1983]

Stewart's body language is so awful.  Not a leader at all.  Bad thing is he's their point guard.

[Oxbow6]

This team and this program is a total joke right now.

Alt-who?

Yup.......exactly. 

[Kab]

South Dakota is not a good team so that shows what we are

[SiouxFan100]

WOW 

SD must be pretty good. Never knew

[SIOUX29]

Stewart, I thought pouting constantly went out in 8th grade? Yea he Lasers a few in, but? 

[Kab]

Put the whole bench in

wont make a damn bit of difference 

[Oxbow6]

Thompson HS BBB team could keep it within 20 vs this squad.

[UND1983]

Seales hit a three!!!!

[Kab]

It’s just plain to see these kids are lacking a coach 

 

[UND1983]

Brown and Moody have gotten exposed badly on defense tonight.  Jones had to pull Moody and Brown is now getting worked over.

[SWSiouxMN]

Team still can't make that one play.

I'm afraid this team might not make it to Sioux Falls. 

[rochsioux]

How has jones been able to keep his job this long ?

What’s the issue with the athletic department ?  Do they not care about the basketball program ?

As a fan it is getting difficult to care.  The only time the games really matter are during the conference tourney.  We are so far away from ever having any chance of getting an at-large bid that it makes too many games irrelevant every season.

At least for me, I need to see a team that is well coached, occasionally can pull off the upset against a major school, and every now and then is good enough that you could at least make a case for an at-large bid if they fail to win the conference tourney.  That would get me more excited about the program.  I don’t foresee any of this being possible with the current head coach.

Making the NC$$ tourney once every eight years and then getting bounced out right away is just not good enough to build up a passionate fan base IMO.

 

[Kab]

Jones doesn’t make much but he is way over paid

i don’t know why any player would want to play for him

 

[UND1983]

That sucked.  On to the next game.....

Blame Faison and his great "negotiating" skills.
