Oh boy listening on the radio Jack Daniels is saying the team is not listening to the coach and Mel is trying to make them do full-court press down 20 with three minutes to go

Pretty sure that's what pissed Collins off last Saturday too (according to some). UND couldn't guard anyone all game but let's press down 18 with 4 minutes to go. Everyone in the Betty just wanted that game over. NDSU was happy to hang 100 and then took a timeout to let Mal think about what transpired to end the game.

Well, Kansas City didn’t get 100 but we still lost by 15+

Is Bernhard loosing the team and that would not be good for the future of this team. I have thought there has been signs where different players are not playing well together and I don’t think star player system works very well with young players not very well now with modern players even more so now. I have wondered this with Kacie when she has tried to do too much this year at times and has taken poor advice shots or trying to make pass that turns into turnover. Also her comments on who ever practices better gets playing time this is okay maybe for a short time at the beginning of the season but as season goes along you need to shorten the rotation to get to some coordination between the players on the floor. My thoughts on this season was this year she has played up to 10 to 11 players for the game and last year she only played seven to eight players a game where last year I thought she should played the sophomores a little more in first half of the season. We will find out in about month if we see movement in players. I hope not because I believe we have potential of fine team in the making Pemberton, Aumer, Beal, VanderWal, Ibrahim, Horne, Cottingham, and Ownen these players to me have tremendous upside. Hurst has great potential but she needs to work on her defense game and not worry what her stats are because if she fixes her defense and plays smart basketball her stats will be just fine and would be playing on winning team. I think what ever there goals were for this season are probably not going to be met because development of this has not happened like it should have and now they look like team that is tired and lost belief they can achieve their goals. The only thing that will correct this break and off season working on pla yer skills and getting on same page of playing smart basketball.

Really? Does it matter where they come from? Seem a little small-town thinking.

Yes it matters where they come from. Mentality and comfortability is directly related to success in any profession.  Plus, if they are average and play little defense why are we going 800 miles to get them?  There are plenty of those players within 4 hours of campus.

Mayville.....small town ass kicking.

I'll wash...rinse...repeat...this team needs shooters. Kacie is a scorer...and a good one at that but this team can't shoot the basketball. NDSU has 6 kids that would start on this team because they can knock down shots.

and they need height and length, .  I said it before the season and it has proved true.

Truth there as well

What a mess

[ND-fan]

they need to get a point guard that can run the offense and be able to shoot the three or create offense driving. We haven't had point guard since Leah Szabla before she got hurt. I look at that 2014 team we had we were big and had length and we had scorers from inside to the outside and Gene Roebuck recruited that team, and it amazes me now we only won one conference championship. Since then, the level of talent recruited has never equaled the talent that Roebuck brought in and even when we recruited talent weren't able to keep it or get it to play up to its potential. Bernhard is from the Roebuck era and i have to believe she has to know or can see were not where the program was in level of talent recruited or construction of the roster. We are not playing that smart basketball UND was known to play. 

[SiouxFan100]

That would be Schiller

I'll disagree on the PG argument.  Kacie will finish...what top 5 in total points and assists? She has had pretty much no supporting cast for 3 years. She's one of the best I've seen at UND.

She replaces Kacie. Not as strong but has the same great vision and knowledge. Also is the Cross Country champ so she's a conditioned athlete. Needs to add a few pounds as all frosh do.

I don't necessarily agree with this sentiment but two ND and one SD commit coming in.

That’s fine, you don’t have to agree with it but their record the past few years certainly doesn’t prove me wrong.  If a UND team is to get distance recruits I would expect them to at the very least be good players with upside. We got enough average players in tri state area.    

[ND-fan]

The three recruits we have now all are guards and Schiller appears to be true point guard at 5-7. Mathern and Volmer are guards but kind of inbetweeners in that they are about 5-10 to 5-11 and on high school listing Mathern is listed at 6 feet. If the roster doesn't change from this year will have Davis, Aumer, Cottingham, Beal, Owen, and Bass plus the 3 recruits at guards, Pemberton, Horne, Hoskin at the forward positions, and Vanderwal, Ibrahim, and Jardine at the center position. 

I haven't seen Jardine on the bench is she hurt or is she not on the team, but she is still listed on the roster. Also, will Davis comeback for covid year. Otherwise, our is roster is full for next year unless we have some people leaving. Yes, Kacie has been playing a lot of minutes at point but just think if she was playing alongside Paige Myer of South Dakota State she would be scoring in high twenties and having much better looks at the rim than she is now. How we compete going forward with this team is pretty much baked we are what we are now. If we make a run in the Summit tournament it will be that we got hot shooting the basketball.

Jardine transferred to another school over Christmas.  It's Hoskins last year.  But you are right to many guards again. I don't think coach knows how to recruit or see talent
