UND vs Northland (Exhibition) (11/1 7 PM)

[McBuckets]

Hong gets in and instantly gets a bucket why am I not surprised! Plus goes and throws a dime leading to a foul. The future is now!

[SiouxFan100]

Let’s hope UND men’s basketball becomes a thing again!

[McBuckets]

Lets get Doppler a bucket here would be cool to see everyone who plays in the scoring column

For those wondering about televised games on midco, go here:

 

https://midcosports.com/schedule

 

then scroll down to the “daily schedule” (what it defaults to) and click “live schedule” and then use the filters to narrow it down to UND games under “Filter by team” and just Basketball games under “Filter by category”.

 

looks like it is 24 televised games between both men and women with all the televised and non televised home games (plus non televised road conference games) on Midco Sports Plus.

I will be very curious to see how fast Mara gets up to speed.

If we take out Hong and Erikson, it is 14-22 from the projected regular rotation players(63.6%). 

Still not great but better than 57.7%.

8-15 from 3 from the projected regular rotation players will work however.

I left with 4 to go but from what I saw I think Kraft might have the best chance of being a player here. His shot is legit and he’s got some build to him. His finish off Hong’s great defensive play was awesome.

He looks pretty lost basketball wise. I’m sure will be even more apparent against legit competition but man is he a freak athlete!! And he’s got really good size. Going to be hard to keep him off the floor even with not very polished basketball skill/IQ.
 

That will come with time and being on the floor more though. 

Agreed.

Wow, he has gotten bigger since leaving Red River.  Very nice shot.

I listened to the game on the radio so not able to see the size Kraft put on since being in a college strength program, but I would say Hong and Bothun have the most potential out of the group. We all know where I stand on Hong, but I am excited to see Bothun in 2 years after he puts on some weight and develops to the college game some more.

I would agree with Bothun too. I think I will give the edge to Kraft but Hong can be a nice player as well. Maybe Doppler did something after I left but man I just think he’d be better fit in the NSIC unless something clicks for him.

Doppler got a couple buckets in the last 2 minutes but yeah he would be a real nice addition for a NSIC team, seems like he loves the midrange which we’ll have to see if that translates to this level. My guess is he’ll have to become a pest on the defensive side of the ball to earn some minutes in the next few years.

If there is one thing that Bothun knows how to do right now: shoot it.

I know. Dumb! 

Midco is paying.  Not dumb.  They are also local and actually care about the Summit, so will be a high priority.  That isn't the case with ESPN+.  More money for UND on media deal is a good thing.

I'm not talking about money. As a consumer it's dumb. I haven't seen one fan base excited about it. In fact, the only people I've seen excited about it is Midco employees.

Thought UND would have posted some video of the game, haven’t seen anything yet

Its nice for someone who only cares to watch Summit League games but as a fan of college basketball and other college sports this is just another subscription we have to get plus need ESPN+ to watch some of the non conference games.

The Midco broadcasts were the ones that were broadcast on ESPN + so there is no difference other then now I have to have a Midco Plus Subscription, ESPN Plus to catch the games on there that are not played at a Summit League school AND Have a TV subscription to CBS Sports to catch those games AND if I want to watch the Iowa game on Tuesday I need a Big 10 + subscription for $15.  Not sure why they didnt just keep with ESPN + definitely more bang for your buck because I can watch other teams as well for exact same price as Midco Plus.

Not arguing those points because they are all 100% valid. Subscriptions cost more than cable these days to watch what you want. Stuff like the Iowa game is the same regardless of what the Summit is doing.

They did it because Midco is actually paying them, requiring minimum broadcasts and now all Summit games will be televised (instead of being on whichever platform the home team had, if they even had one). Fenton set up a very successful model that was the same thing with the NCHC and the schools with larger fan bases actually see some return on it. Also, getting away from ESPN allowed them to move the championship, so no more Tuesday night championship game on ESPNU, instead they will have some flexibility on when that can be played. I know one of the big complaints is the Monday/Tuesday finish for semis/finals. If it flops or they get enough negative feedback, ESPN will take them back for the exact same deal they were getting.

Yep, I understand, but I'm hopeful that the Midco deal is a step toward NCHC.tv moving to that platform, which would save me $115 a year on that service.  And again, I like the other wraparound services that Midco provides like weekly highlight shows and better support of the conference than ESPN does.  And I've also had lots of mediocre broadcast quality on ESPN+ streams, while all the Midco broadcasts have been much better and more consistent.  I get that they aren't every going to show Duke-UNC or other big games, but they are very good at what they do and they are actual invested in the community and in the Summit League.
