If we lose someone to a higher profile program, that is one thing. But losing players to teams at your own level or in the same conference, that is a potential red flag.

SiouxFan100 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 But to be picked last hurts sets the bar pretty low even though we won’t be last after 3-4 years I wouldn’t claim success at seven wins imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a .500 season would be successful. It’s an uphill climb from where we were at but being less than .500 should not be acceptable year after year.

Kid is from 15 miles away from USD... after 1 year they wanted him, so he went there. Because if they wanted him his senior year of HS, UND wouldn't have gotten him. In college basketball right now, you are building one year rosters, at all levels. UND has a chance to erase last year by having a better year this year....and at the end of this year, players will leave and they will try to build another team next year... welcome to the real world of new college basketball... fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then one year later realize he is pretty good once UND developed him and put him in a good situation. Sad on USD's end and frankly, sad on the kid's end that he would go back to a local program that told him he wasn't good enough out of HS.

SiouxFan100 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 If teams have to rebuild every year because of players coming and going - one year rosters - I see that and don’t like it but then it seems like we are not able to succeed in that environment so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SD UND Posted October 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2022 I don't think UND will miss Bruns as much as they think they will, he will be a nice player at USD, but won't win another award while he's down there. UND will be more talented this year, but young, so there may be growing pains again but I think we will see a better version of UND basketball than we saw last year. Biggest question is whether they will be able to keep the talented class together for at least 2-3 years... history tells us that that is going to be hard so those guys need to grow up quickly and they need to play. Let's do our part as fans and get to the Betty and create an environment that kids will be excited about. If they fail on their end, then we can question them. At the end of the day... Sather is a good coach... he didn't all of a sudden forget how to coach. Yes, the results have been below average to mediocre at best... If anyone has been hit by tougher luck in the last 3 years I would like to know who it is and then I would call them a liar... He will get it turned around, just might not be as quick as @gfhockey wants it to be. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ND-fan Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I have been looking at UND picked to be last and i was thinking how you can come up with that with all the changes to the teams in the Summit. We have three schools that have coaching changes in South Dakota, Omaha, and KC and all these schools had losses to the portal and now made up new faces for the coming year expect these teams to just gel and be contenders. Then we have ST. Thomas that was heavily senior laden last year and will be made up freshman and sophomores for the coming season which spells for inconsistent season coming forward. Then we have NDSU hit heavily by portal but granted they have one best players in the Summit conference but my guess is they will be there by end of the season but there will number of losses along the way. I can see how you can pick SDSU, Oral Roberts as the top of the league but even they have few questions marks and here again if one major stars would go down it changes these teams. Denver seems to be team on rise and they are returning good nucleus and they they could move up. Then Western Illinois team made up portal recruits who knows how they will gel and perform history says sooner or later that will blow up on you. If I was doing preseason picks I would just pick top 4 or 5 and rest i would just give their strengths and weaknesses because who knows how they will shake out. My top four for Summit as it stands right now would be SDSU, Oral Roberts, Denver, and based on history NDSU. From there i wouldn't even want to make a pick until i see how they start playing in preseason conference schedule. But getting back to UND I think they will be close to 500 team in conference play if they are healthy i look at last year how close they played teams with total roster of 7 or 8 players for latter part of the season. They could even be better than that if couple of these recruits step up play big roles on this team. I wouldn't be surprised we again have the rookie of the year again on this squad especially looking at several of quality of players coming in and we will have openings to allow these players to play in games. Basing it off last years performance is not practical anymore when we have portal and rosters are remade each year by adding players but this how this preseason prediction we had is based on.

iramurphy Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I’ve learned long ago that preseason polls aren’t worth fussing over. Who cares what the pollsters think. What matters of course is what each team’s players and coaches think and then what they do to attain whatever goals they have set for themselves. I doubt we will finish last. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
