Some how scored, couldn't jump. Give it a break. Pre conference game are figuring out players. We have limited options. It is early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have skill at all, and based on the past few seasons there's no reason to expect that shots are just suddenly going to start dropping.

GoodGood Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I really hope that dunk and little hook shot can give Matthew's some confidence. I think he can be a solid player someday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxFan100 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Guess the game went pretty much as expected SW predicted 16 pts and it ende up at 18 I need to start betting real money on SW predictions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux24/7 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Norman has been struggling but I think he has it in him. I see our lineup by the end of the year being Nero, Bruns, Norman, Sueker and Matthews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodak78 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Norman would be a good 6 man. I was hope that would be Bruns role but he needs to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kab Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Coach said they played with emotion, we didn’t he needs to find the players with mental toughness to play more he sounded as frustrated as those on this board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ND-fan Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 We don't have inside player that you can count on to score one on one down low in the paint. I think Sather and company blew it last spring in not finding another post player that can score down low. Urbonavicius could score better down low in the post than the players we have on the bench now and he wasn't very good. I think the three post players we did pickup last year could develop in adequate post players but we are far from that happening this year. They should have been looking for transfer that could have filled that roll for this year. Bruns is going to be star player in the future and he's getting better each game but he can't carry this team and shouldn't have too. When we have starting 5 out on the floor we can somewhat play with other teams but soon as we substitute were in trouble and as game goes along teams find ways to beat us and run the score up. This is going to be long season ahead for us we will be lucky to win 5 games in the conference and that may be way to high a figure. I wonder what Sather is thinking now because the group of kids he has recruited there are to many without real athletic ability to be playing division I basketball. This has to be priority going forward for him to get to next level of player to come here. Its possible because Jones recruits there were a number of them were at next level of play and he had them coming here. I thought we would be better but i just read print that Tsartsidze was real jem and he may be but he has ways to go and were already to conference season and we have no alternative with our next post players true freshman. Like i say this is going to be long season and we have ways to go rebuild this team and it may take even more next season before we can start moving forward.

MoSiouxFan Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I liked our compete level tonight. If they can maintain that as our young players mature and the team gels, we may not finish in the top 4, but I think we'll compete in conference play. What that turns out to be will depend on how fast our young players mature and how fast coach can get them coached up. We show good flashes, it's just that those flashes need to last for 40 minutes.

bincitysioux Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Seems like this team is full of role players, but there isn't a single difference maker on the roster. They play hard, it seems like they are coached well, but unfortunately there honestly just isn't a lot of DI talent on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the mid-major level, you aren't going to get someone coming in who's polished. 8 hours ago, ND-fan said: This is going to be long season ahead for us we will be lucky to win 5 games in the conference and that may be way to high a figure. Based on where the other Summit teams are rated and how they have been performing, I think you're selling them a bit short. The league looks to be pretty down this year outside of 1-2 teams.

northernraider Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Long road trip to California to badly lose two games. I know it's Sather's third year, but how soon before time to re-evaluate the decision? Two more years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
