Ok, you win... UND should just schedule all Summit league teams one extra game in the non league slate. That way we can play everyone in the Summit 3 times a year. Fans wouldn't get sick of that at all and the players and coaches would love it.

 

Head--->Brick wall

only talking 3 games......one year it's two home and 1 away.......next year 1 home / 2 away.........or just call sacred heart in EGF...they would've put up more of a fight than vcsu

Disingenuous straw man argument.  I didn't win - we both lost.  Communicating with you was a complete waste of time.

[SIOUXFAN97]

take my mayville idea on step farther.........und/ndac plays a non-c game every year and rotates it around the state........jamestown, valley city, bismark, willison, minot, devils lake, mayville, wahpeton

your welcome.

so that with sodak too............one year they play in rapid city......next year williston and so forth........

your welcome.

I gave you the reason why they won't do it. Because no one would. You didn't like that answer... I don't know what to tell you.

Still doesn't answer "why".  You're not the deepest thinker are you?

So play them conference and non-conference.
Creating a more insular schedule which hurts come ratings calcs and tourney times. 

We know why you're not the AD, ... thankfully. 

ummmmmmmmmm the midcon conference is a one bid conference so this makes no sense. unless these 3 (someone has win em so their "ratings" will go up)....... games keep someone from getting the coveted WBIT or NBIC ?? bids?

I like the idea of UND and ndsu in Bismarck against mt. And mt. State

the next year do in billings 

‘could make the 3rd game Dickinson and msu billings 

‘give other parts of both states easier access to games

Love the men’s basketball thread activity. I hope the boys can keep the interest by having a fun season.

I don’t need to think that deep when talking about something that won’t happen.

See, now this is realistic… and it was something that was in the works in 2020 and 2021 but Montana shut it down

I threw this out there a week ago. Quite a ways back in this thread.

Bismarck Civic Center

2-3 day event

NDSU and UND against Montana and Montana St.

U Mary and Minot or Jamestown against a couple teams from the Great NW Athletic Conference and/or Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference

BSC and UTTC against a couple JUCOS from Wyoming or Nebraska.

maybe Mix in some High School teams from ND and SD.

Love this idea, plus can use the exhibition hall to have multiple games going at the same!

One way I would look at scheduling if I’m the AD is looking at combining basketball and hockey. Schedule something with some of those hockey east schools with similar level basketball programs like Merrimack, UMass Lowell, Dartmouth, heck bring in Miami but have these games overlap with a hockey weekend against the same school.

I've always like the idea of pairing up with hockey opponents.  For example NDSU played at WMU this year, and WMU may be headed back to Fargo for a return trip at some point.  Get WMU to the Betty, and stuff the basketball team onto the hockey charter when they head out there in a couple years.  Not sure how much room is on the plane, but if they travel together ya gotta think there could be some benefit of efficiency.  Could play a second game while out there, in addition to WMU. 

[nodak651]

UND and NDSU seem to be working together more when scheduling games, which seems to have helped a little bit.  Hopefully that can continue - kind of a non-conf travel partner, which helps make trips out to the Dakotas more cost effective for other D1 programs.

I’m a roller coaster of emotions when following a team so right now it feels all doom and gloom going forward. As I step back, I think we are fine but I don’t think we will finish where I want us to. While shooting is an issue, defense is our biggest issue. We have the athletes and length to be a good defensive team, minus maybe inside.

Where did you think we would finish and who would you have above us in the Summit? I also don’t understand the defensive issues. I thought length and athleticism would make things very difficult on opponents

I thought 4 was an appropriate spot. Maybe different with an eligible Ihenacho too. Basically I thought we would be fringe Tier 1 with SDSU, ORU and NDSU but instead I think we are tier 2 but closer to tier 3 than 1. All made up things in my head haha.

Following this could be of interest to us. I’m not sure how much longer it would still be worth Tyree even playing this year though. Assuming the sophomore class sticks together, I’d rather him join that class next year as juniors.
