2023-2024 Season

Nice having contributions from 6 ft 3 in Minnesota transfer Oberg

Und has turned this around in short period of time and they have done this by playing team ball. Kacie and Sammiyha today lead by example by doing little things by boxing out and rebounding, playing good defense and working hard to be right positions to score or feed the basketball to someone else. Pemberton is starting to figure it out to play at this level. Hurst had good day and today's foul trouble i believe were from poor calls against her, but she did have quality minutes when she was in playing. Aumer is starting figure out her role and continues to work hard coaches dream in a player. Oberg is playing up to her potential and it's nice to see. Vanderwal didn't play much not team she matches up with. Horne didn't play much either not sure why probably worried about her ball control. Davis had good game playing defense and moving the ball in half court. This is very good game for us and now it's time to see if they can make this happen on the road and tough road trip it will be going to ORU to Denver. Will know much more after this next road trip.

Hoping Aumer gets the chance to be our ball hawk.

Pemberton is really smooth.  Still very early, but the way she's going she'll be in contention for freshman of the year.  Really like her play and attitude.  Seems humble and coachable, a great combination, especially when coupled with skill.

Down by one at halftime but the game had two halves and we lose by sixteen to oru.

we shot 13% from the three and had an unbelievable 30 turnovers.

 I am not a fan of turnovers 

[SiouxFan100]

Who was the last three point threat we have had - there must be someone some year we can get to shoot the three

( meaning actually make three point shots)

[ND-fan]

last night we took a step backward and I hope the team learned something when things fell apart in the third quarter there was too much individualism and trying to force the play and ORU took advantage of this. Also was our rebounding we would box out have clear chance to get ball we had players watching each other to make a play on the ball and I don't know the reason for that. I still don't understand why we have Hurst play outside as much as we do when she has clear advantage catching and driving to the basket from the low post. It would clear outside for our players to have more open 3 look. Defense at times was much better but ORU shot poorly for most first half, and I couldn't tell if it was the defense or were they shooting that poorly. Kacie last night was again trying to make the perfect pass and it was resulting in turnovers she needs to slow down and let the offense playout more and then when she has these mistakes, she wants to come down make up for that mistake right away. I though Bernhard let game get away there in middle of the 3 quarter and she needed to have timeout earlier and get them settled down and run good offensive play where we would get good look and high chance of scoring.

I also think Beal needs more playing time, but her offense has been not there it's like having whole in my bucket but until she learns how to be more productive, and I think it's going to take more consistent playing time. Pemberton showed she still young player where we are going to have ups and downs and learning to adapt her game when people play her different. Horne is also going to be very good player but it's going to take some time and she just needs to keep playing. The team chemistry still needs work and I have my doubts if that is ever going to get fixed this year. In regarding to the subject forementioned I think Bernhard is going to have address that before next season and maybe it will fix itself in the offseason. Thats all I am going to say on that. The last thing i will say ORU has been difficult to play for UND women over last few years and some of that i believe when we get to ORU and KC we get different type refereeing and we have difficult time adjusting to that calling. I think you see that with all other teams in the Summit when they go South to play

Women about to pick up a nice road win.  30 seconds left and lead by 10.  Officials trying to steal the show with technical fouls and long reviews.

[ND-fan]

Denver game referees calling of this game  leads to ugly ending. Und wins by 10.

[Kab]

Not playing good today

too much individual play and not team play 

[gfhockey]

I assume after this performance, Mel gets an extension

[SiouxFan100]

We are not a smart basketball team

ill advised shots and passes

getting beat on back doors 

double dribbles.   Etc

just basic basketball skills and plays are lacking 

ugly ugly first half

[gfhockey]

The body language on the bench has something else it’s almost like the most few years of the football team the girls are laughing and pointing at people in the crowd, my God

[gfhockey]

Does k c think she’s Kaitlyn Clark with these long three balls?

[NewUndFan]

I stopped going to the games in person and it's so hard to watch them on TV. They don't look like a team. I have never seen a player play worse defense then Hurst.  NDSU beat this team by 30 plus. Next weekend should be fun 

[Kab]

I noticed a lot of chirping at the refs today 

a couple times a player was chirping and St Thomas quickly headed up the court and scored while UND player was no where to be found on defense

miss a shot hurry back on defense, not rocket science 

[Oxbow6]

End of 3rd

USD 52

UND 43

 

[Oxbow6]

69-53 USD

Kacie 19 points and 10 rebounds

Hurst is such a liability on the defensive end

 

[gfhockey]

How much string does the coach get?

[ND-fan]

This team had couple steps forward but now we have taken couple of steps backward. Last night you could see they spent mor time on defensive schemes but then would have mental breakdown leading to score. The offense was pretty much none there last night with exception of second quarter. The turnovers just make it impossible for them to have any offense consistency. The offense is just impatience  trying to force the offense instead of working the basketball and reversing around to create open shot. Bernhard and coaching staff last night wasn’t quick enough to make changes when we getting beat by mismatches on the floor. NDSU is going to eat our lunch on Saturday if we play like we did last night. I could see loss of more than 30 points and Bernhard better have game plan to get the offense going. I see our athletic ability and you here it by opposing coaches but so far we haven’t reach point where we play smart enough to take advantage of of this athletic ability and I wonder if it’s going to happen this year.  I believe this is crunch time for Bernhard for her its time for coach this team to fix these problems become more of elite.coach by getting this team to step up and get to another level. If she can’t do this her longterm future becomes question because she needs to she can compete with other top coaches in the league. She has been in league four years and it’s time for her to show this growth because she has had time to find players and coaches to prove she has put together winning program.
