Well, they aren't the only team to blow us out this year. And NDSU's season overall hasn't been much better than ours. But yeah, it is still pretty nauseating.

Sadly, they have been the only conference team to blow UND out... twice

 

[SWSiouxMN]

Our freshman have looked like freshman tonight

 

[SiouxFan100]

Freshmen can’t be freshmen anymore after this many games.

Matt Norman has played well, at least on the offensive side of the basketball. 

[SiouxFan100]

I still watch and hope we will do better the next game. No answers tonight.

According to some people, our viewpoints are irrelevant. So I guess it doesn't really matter.

The only thing that matters is that the players had fun tonight! That’s all we can ask for!

Yep. That and teaching life lessons.

Sather is a good guy. We just have bad luck.  The portal is mean to us. Our budget sucks. Grand forks gets cold in the winter .  It's fun to lose as long as we play hard and represent the good old green and white .   (Ira this is sarcasm) I think that about covers it for the minions 

[SWSiouxMN]

We have gone to stopping teams but can't score to now scoring but can't stop teams.

 

[SiouxFan100]

If it ain’t one thing it’s another 

[Kab]

Other coaches make adjustments

sather I’m not so sure he knows how or when 

[UND1983]

Hard to adjust when your players aren't as good as the opponents.  Recruiting and retainage.

There is some talent on UND's roster and I really like Danielson. Seems like a good kid and really hard worker, but if he is starting and playing big minutes for a D1 team there may be an overall talent issue.

Why Matt doesn’t start is crazy

Our defensive rotation is atrocious.  Grant Nelson scored at will and we were still leaving him WIDE open.  T can’t stop Grant one one one and we let him score 25 before we thought it may be a good idea to give him some help.  When the bison drove, we waved them through with no help whatsoever.  Do we really think it is a coincidence that every team we play shoots 50 to 60%???  Not going to win any games with that kind of defense, unless we count on setting a 3 point scoring record every game.  That was our only conference win - and may be our only conference win this year.  We do have some promising freshman, but it will be a miracle if we keep them out of the portal to stay and win about 3 games against NAIA teams plus one or two conference wins a season….  Sather has got to make some adjustments or we may not win another game this year….  We can’t afford to have two or three guards on the floor at the same time that simply cannot hit an outside shot.  Just won’t work.   I thought we turned the corner on offense last week, but we went back to an anemic offense in the second half.  And our defense is just painful to watch.
