Yea, I think some people took it as it’s a bad NAIA conference and a bad conference in general. It’s still good basketball, but like you said, obviously way below D1 and D2. Quote

Jamestown this year vs UND this year would have been a close game. I mean, those are your opinions right? Because they definitely can't be proven?Something others could call dumb or blatantly false? Or call an uneducated, lazy take? Or even an insanely bad take? Did I get all the adjectives in there? For the record, for 2022, Massey shows UND with a 69% win probability on a neutral court and 76% win probability in Grand Forks. The odds of a 20 point or greater Jamestown win comes out at 2.5%. For 2023, it shows as 72% and 79% with a 7-10 point margin of victory. Which tells me, maybe the first part of your comment is just a bit of hyperbole.... 2 Quote

DL Sioux Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 Bottom Line: Mason Walters may want to move on for his final season and would be a huge get for UND. We just have to figure out how to get him to drive past NDSU and Boden Skunberg! 1 Quote

Played high school ball with Boden Skunberg and was extremely good. IMO he absolutely could have played at a higher level out of high school but stayed home and has really been a great player for UJ. We can debate whether the GPAC is a good conference until the cows come home...Wolters would absolutely help UND get better. Would he average 26/10...no...but he would be a true back to the basket physical post presence with good athleticism. I'm not holding my breath we get him but it sure would be a feather in our caps... Also by all accounts he's a great kid. He'll have his degree I believe from UJ...and he has a few local NIL deals in Jamestown...the community has always been very supportive of him from what I can see. He's paid it back with his play. 1 1 Quote

My niece plays on the womens team at UJ which is one reason I follow the GPAC and know about how strong the conference is. But I saw their men’s team had scrimmaged Northen and Morhead. She said the men lost both by around 5 points but that UJ had beat Morhead last year in 2 scrimmages. I know it is only a scrimmage but still interesting to see how the top GPAC team against the top NSIC team did not “get smoked” 1 1 Quote

How about win 9 out of 10 times? Quote

Yep they are. It was actually the men’s team that scrimmaged them though. Its fun to see how talented these non D1 teams around us our. Just proves their are quality basketball teams and players at all levels. 1 2 Quote
McBuckets Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 I think we’ve all heard enough about the GPAC for a while. Besides Mason Walters does anyone have some other names of transfers UND should be looking at? More names will come out next week with the portal but just curious what everyone was thinking Quote

fightingsioux4life Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 I am looking forward to when we are talking about what NCAA seed we will get and how far we can go instead of how good an NAIA conference is or isn't. 1 Quote

He wasn’t on the hot seat when he was something like 2-23 in a 25 game conference stretch? In all seriousness I don’t care if Paul Sather or Santa Claus is the head coach. We’ve finished 6th, 5th , 10th, and 9th in the conference the last 4 years. Those results in an average to probably below average conference are not good. Maybe next year is the year we make a huge jump. Seems like there will be a lot of turnover in teams rosters next year. I’m sure the SU’s, ORU, and St Thomas will be at the top. I will be disappointed if we are not amongst that group. As always I will be at most home games and look forward to traveling to a handful of away games. I’m already looking forward to going down to Lincoln once again! 2 Quote

His 3 point % took a dip this year which could be a concern Quote
