Omot is currently shooting 14% from three on 7 attempts a game.... 

How Danielson still gets more minutes than Brooks is absolutely mind blowing....

I don't love Omot playing the 4, but there should be thoughts of starting Brooks over Deng and moving Omot to the 4. The season is young but through 5 games Deng hasn't really provided anything

Amar was a great addition. If he keeps playing like this, he should be putting pressure on a decision to start him over TT

Omot will figure it out. I just don’t want him to force it. That’s what it looked like he was doing a bit against Pacific. He can get to the rim and either draw a foul or make the bucket almost every time. I’m sure he’s trying to show he has an expanded game to get bigger looks but we can’t let it hurt winning.

2nd half not going well. Trailing by 5 right now. Brooks about to go to the line.

0-5 on 3s today for Omot. He's too talented to be settling this much

[sioux24/7]

Trailing by 9 now. T just set a moving screen. Things are unraveling. 

[sioux24/7]

Trailing 53-51 now. Nice little run there. 

[sioux24/7]

Leading 69-67 with under a minute to play. Omot stepped up and Eaglestaff hit 3 FTs. UND ball.

Brooks is always making plays! Love it!

At some point do you go to a starting lineup of Eaglestaff, Brooks, Omot, Amar and T? As long as Brooks is playing plenty of minutes probably doesn’t matter but it seems he has been providing more than King so far. 

[sioux24/7]

71-67 UND 17.5 seconds left. EMU ball. 

[sioux24/7]

This Acuff kid is killing us. 71-70 UND with 13 seconds left. Get the ball to Eaglestaff and make your FTs!

[sioux24/7]

Danielson to the line. 

[sioux24/7]

Makes the first. Misses the 2nd but Amar gets the board and goes to the line! 4 seconds. 

[sioux24/7]

Amar misses both

[sioux24/7]

They didn’t get a shot off. WINNNNNN

Found a way to win again!

I was a little surprised to see Deng go from starting to completely cut from the rotation, but I like the 8 man rotation! 

Did he get a minute? I only caught the second half. He’s not hurt is he? Just a benching? Hope he takes this and learns from it and doesn’t just give up on it.

I think defense?

If the Betty is packed, the home court advantage has the potential to be insane. If we can keep winning, we can build a fan base that shows up on a consistent basis.

Keep it up boys.

Pretty sure it’s just defense.  Not sure what is going on with him

There might be a reason he went to 3 different Juco's.

Yeah, probably another one of Martinson's bright ideas.

I’d love Bill to address this on his next pod or something. What’s the reason? I like the addition of the “court side” seats on the baseline though. I have this memory of similar court side seats on the base line back in the day at the Betty, maybe I’m making that up but I’d like to see that too although not sure how the walkway worked then.
