They are definitely making baby steps in the right direction.

I just wish they had a few more players that could make an impact on the scoring column to really make a threat

[SWSiouxMN]

That said:  Big opportunity on Wednesday against Fort Wayne to put some big separation against the lower 3 teams in the conference and win a tiebreaker against the Dons.

Nice to see big games from Rebraca, Stewart, DAE, and Walter tonight.  Especially from Rebraca and DAE, who needed them. 

6th game in a row where turnovers have been under 12.  

Free throws were solid once again.

Isn’t the PFW game Thursday night?

Yes.

It would be nice if UND could get the basketball highlights posted as fast as the hockey highlights - basketball was home, hockey was on the road.

Now that we sit halfway through the conference season, where do people think that the team stands?  Overachieving? Underachieving? As expected?

What are the expectations for the 2nd half?

[gfhockey]

I would say a little bitter then expected overall

 

some games were disappointments tho

I want to see us beat a good team in the conference. Wins against IPFW, WIU and Denver do not excite me. Let's get a W against one of the I29 teams.

I think I like what Sather has been able to do with the group he has provided and am optimistically excited for the future.

That is about where I am at as well, given the fact they have played the conference season without Moody leans me to think better than expected.

The Omaha and NDSU games were missed opportunities yes.

I think they can beat NDSU at home and perhaps steal one against Omaha or USD.  They do need to start beating the I-29 schools and the sooner they can start doing that, the better.   

Still important to get those road wins against WIU and Fort Wayne.  

I would love to see them finish with a winning conference record.
