HoopsFan03 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 22 minutes ago, UND1983 said: I always love it when fans lament "losing our talent if we fire the coach". We have 1 conference win. Does it really matter if we lose that "talent". FWIW, Bruns is averging 9 pts on an average team and shooting 41 percent from field. He stuck out here cause we had nobody else. This team definitely has talent though is the only issue. With a different coach and a different system we are a middle of the pack Summit team. Sather absolutely needs to go, but they need to try keep Omot, Eaglestaff, Brooks, and Norman for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree. I simply look at the players on the other team for my comparison's. They look better, are bigger and have more length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had Eaglestaff at the 2 and Omot at the 3 that is great size and length at the 2 and 3. Not many teams have 6'6" and 6'8" wings. The issue is we have one being the backup point when he isn't a PG and the other is playing the 4 when he isn't a 4. Put them in the right positions and they will excel in this league. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added Norman and Brooks in there because you need Norman for shooting the ball. He can shoot the crap out of the ball. And I feel like Brooks could develop into a really good slasher and pesty defender. Has shown flashes but him not being able to shoot the ball at all has hindered his development. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxperfan7 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Tranfer portal is here at college basketball. How many quality transfers want to play for a team that has had single digit wins the past 2 seasons and is looking to do that again this year and looking to finish last in the conference 2 years in a row?

Those 2 teams can hold Nelson down, shows where UND needs to get better at. was surprised that forum guys didn’t know about that extension or maybe they didn’t want to ask Chaves may well give an extension at the end of this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDSU and UND aren't even in the same conversation for the state of each basketball program. I don't understand how we win our second conference game of the season in February and all of a sudden the program is turned around and Sather knows how to coach. An extension sets this program back even further. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodGood Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Don’t want to get excited about beating another NET 300 ranked team. It was fun to watch a game where we were clearly the better team on the floor though. A lot of winnable games down the stretch here that would make things interesting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone but ORU and maybe SDSU suck this year. The fact that we have 2 conf wins, given the state of the Summit this year, says a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few NDSU grads who complain constantly about Richman and how he's a worthless coach. Seems to me there used to a thread on Bisonville as well about Richman running the team into the ground. It always looked like he wasn't universally loved by many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do consistently complain about him but he’s had a pretty successful run. Starts slow a lot but picks it up in conference season play and the conference tournament.

And he'll leave and the program will likely fall back into the abyss because he didn't build anything. Look at Missouri State's FB program. Petrino tried to do the same thing before he bolted. And then bolted again a few weeks later. And MSU's football program is going to continue to struggle. Absolutely need to use the transfer portal to plug holes. But it isn't going to build into long-term success if that is the plan. What they are doing now isn't working either and they are trying to adjust. Easier said than done, otherwise it would work for everyone.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxfan512 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I don't understand anyone majorly defending Sather through all of this. He hasn't done anything during his time here. 9-17 with maybe one more win left on the schedule. People can talk about the transfer portal all the want, but every team in the league and the country has to face the transfer portal. They can talk about not having the players with the size or physical play like other teams. The coach recruits these kids, if he can't get them to stay or develop them or have them game ready, that is on him. Not saying it is an easy job, or that everything is within Sather's control, and that's not always fair BUT after multiple years of this has he done anything to EARN and extension? I'm not a basketball fan, so it doesn't make a huge difference to me, but I do enjoy when UND has a good year. Gives me something else to follow casually and watch. Definitely been a few years since I've been able to do that. (Hoping the win over Denver sets a tone for a the hockey series this weekend! ) 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
