UNO Rules Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Nice win over Minnesota State. Find it weird how you blow UNO out and then USD comes up there and beats you and then UNO goes to Vermillion and beats them. I think that just shows parity. Quote
UND92,96 Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 It was great to see the Ryp of last year this weekend. He scored over 50 points on the weekend and was nearly unstoppable. The Sioux are just a different team when he's playing at his best. Perhaps the most impressive statistic about the Sioux right now is the 6-1 record against teams ranked in the north central region poll. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 But only enjoy it until noon today because it won't mean squat if you don't take care of business against SCSU. Glad to see they listened. Quote
teamsioux Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 The men finally got votes in the national poll, 29th overall. I think they are 4-1 against teams in the top 25. Quote
Corella Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Am I the only one looking at this newest top 25 and absolutly laughing at it?? UND is 4-1 against the top 25 and 18-4 overall. Metro loses to Colo Mines last week and drops 1 spot to #2. The Sioux have beaten Mankato, now at #4 (and how do they only drop 1 spot after losing to UND??), Florida Gulf Coast, which checks in at #18 with a 15-4 record, and Omaha, which is at #20 I believe, 2 times. Oddly enough, USD, which was at #18 last week and plays the softest schedule chalk full of NAIAs every single year, only slips 4 spots to #22 this week despite losing 2 games. Weird. Guess who does the voting for the top 25 from our region......you guessed it, none other then USD's Dave Boots. Granted USD did beat UND by 20, but give me a break. UND has played one of the toughest D2 schedules in the country. They are on top of a revived NCC right now despite being scheduled a ridiculously, almost unfair first 5 league games, playing each of the 4 so called "haves". This new poll is ridiculous. I realize it is the national poll so it really doesn't mean much, but WOW. Hopefully the regional poll is a bit more representative of the way things are. If the Sioux aren't minimum #4 there (after Ft Lewis for sure, Metro, and maybe Mankato) something is horribly wrong. UND is now 6-1 vs last weeks regional top 10. Quote
SiouxMeNow Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 yup...it's a screw!! Too bad Rodney D. tipped over or he'd be in GF singing...."NO RESPECT - NO RESPECT!!" Quote
SiouxMeNow Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 maybe it's for the best though...something to tack up on the Sioux Locker room bulletin board every week!! Quote

The Sioux teams preseason national poll usually have them near the top (10). Regardless of recorders etc, they seem to up there. Whether you agree or not, polls are generally based on historical success at the national level. The UND Men's basketball program has little of that. Quote

sioux goo Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 ranked ahead of Omaha and USD in the region but behind them nationally??? why even have a national poll..its a joke and a team UND beat Florida Gulf Coast is also ranked....what a joke!!!!! Quote
UNO Rules Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 UNO wins at St.Cloud last night. It appears you should have an easy game against Augustana this weekend. Quote
petey23 Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Women lose 71-60. OK, augie women are tough. Men lose 84-80. Pretenders or contenders? Quote
UNO Rules Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Not very often that both your mens and womens both lose. The mens team losing to Augie surprised me. We play them Saturday up there. Hopefully your loss will serve as a wake up call to us. Quote
SiouxMeNow Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Big game for the Sioux at St. Cloud on thursday - a win would be a great antidote for the bitter loss to Augie. It's halfway through the conference season but it's almost 'put up or shut up' time for the Sioux... Quote
UNO Rules Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Should be a great game with St. Cloud. We play USD at home. We beat them up there this year but last year they beat us at the Sapp Fieldhouse. Quote
star2city Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 The Dakota Student last week gave some clues into the leadership this team. http://www.thedakotastudent.com/vnews/disp...7/41f96e42e0c7a "Leadership is critical if we want to move on and win titles," said Glas. With 24 games played this year the Sioux have not chosen a true leader, but rather a group of leaders. "We are led by committee. [Todd Rypkema]has taken the bull by the horns on the court, but there is a lot more to being a leader then being good on the court. You have to step up in the locker-room, on the court, off the court and in every situation," Glas said. He added, "We have a group of seniors that have taken these roles. Steve Bradley has been the most vocal of the group. He will get the team together and get them back on track when things start to fall apart. Now we are not the most verbal team, but more silent leadership occurs then is shown." With the loss to Augustana, the St. Cloud game will be a big test for the team’s leadership. If this team can get rid of its inconsistency evident again Saturday plaquing it, it could make some noise. One of the more revealing insights, imho, into teamwork and sacrificial leadership by a Fighting Sioux team was from this past Saturday, and it wasn’t found in the sports section: NAOMI DUNAVAN COLUMN: Jim Goodrich On reflection, the 70’s basketball teams seemed to have shared leadership and spiritual traits with certain other Sioux teams that have probably exceeded expections based on talent alone: such as recent Sioux football teams or Lee Goren-led hockey teams. And the reverse seems also to be true: those teams where the athletic leadership is more selfish than sacrificial in character seem to underachieve. Quote
coachdags Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 fun watching former sioux...greg mcdermott,and ben jacobson..uni on the duece tonite down by 6 at half to creighton Quote
dakotadan Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 The guys picked up some nice wins this weekend. Saturday night's game was especially fun to watch with the overtime win. I was a little disappointed to see so many people get up and leave when the game went into overtime though. I mean come on, that is the most exciting part of a game. Quote
dakotadan Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 The guys are now tied with UN-O for 1st in the NCC. It would be great if we can go down to South Dakota and pull out another quality win this next weekend. Quote
star2city Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Good to see two wins over the weekend, but that away loss to Augustana seems big now with three tough road games left. Since all other NCC teams have now made a UND appearance: Is there any team in the NCC that has more talent the the Sioux starting five? What needs to happen for the Sioux to go up a level in performance? Quote
BIGSIOUX Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Good to see two wins over the weekend, but that away loss to Augustana seems big now with three tough road games left. Since all other NCC teams have now made a UND appearance: Is there any team in the NCC that has more talent the the Sioux starting five? What needs to happen for the Sioux to go up a level in performance? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> IMO, with this talk of leadership and lack of it for the most part, i start to question the head coaching of this team. It seems that we have better than average talent that only produces mediocre results. dont get me wrong, our record is good and we have played well against top teams, it is unexusable to lose to the bottom feeders in the league. perhaps the leadership should come from the top, Coach Glas. let me know what yall think bout glas....just interested in the general consensus.

NDSU grad Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 im pretty sure he lost the ND mr. bball clarification anyone? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're correct, Adam Dobmeier won Mr. Basketball that year. Quote
UND92,96 Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 I believe Lindahl (Cando), Dobmeier (Fargo South) and Adam Jacobson (Shanley) all came out of high school the same year, and it appeared all would have outstanding college careers. Unfortunately, none of them has really performed up to expectations IMO. Lindahl has clearly been the best of the three, and does have an all-conference selection to his credit, but he's still got to be considered an under-achiever thus far considering his 6'10" height and shooting ability. At least he has another year to go (as does Jacobson) due to having taken a red-shirt year, but Lindahl's defense and Jacobson's offense have a long way to go to be considered anything other than at least somewhat disappointing. I'm not sure whether Dobmeier's problems were injury-related, weight-related, or something else altogether, but he certainly hasn't been the explosive athlete and scorer in college that he was at Fargo South.
