Defense and rebounding. Shot around 11% from 3 in his two recent years at JUCO. Hasn’t show a whole lot of offensive skill thus far

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. 

Expand  

Just a benching. And he’s not in the box score for any minutes. Didn’t see the floor today.

5-1!!! Nice work! Pack the Betty!

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.

5-1 and it just seems like we haven't even played that well or at least haven't seemed to put together a full 40 minutes. Granted everyone we've beat has been right around a Kenpom 300 team but still fun to get out to such a great start.

the bar only?  i saw people in there from my seats (behind vcsu bench)....the area is still "open"...they just closed the "bar"? (which i couldn't see from my seats obviously.

I wish I had billions of dollars. I’d build a hell of an arena for UND basketball. Football too.

Sure glad that UND men’s basketball is apparently a thing again this year. Just what this old guy needs is a basketball team to follow.

[gfhockey]

Nothing like a current rpi of 48. Ahead of the likes of creighton

The fellas better not sleep on the Tuesday game against Concordia St. Paul. They have been bad for a few years but  their coach has rebuilt their roster a bit as they have 5 former D1 players including a 7th year senior who is averaging 25 and shooting 45% from 3 and as a team they are shooting 40% from 3.

[petey23]

Speaking of non conference games I see the Bison have a game coming up with Oak Hills Christian college from beltrami county Minnesota.

Oak Hills has some of the following results this season

Lost to Rockford University of Illinois by 53

Lost to Bemidji State by 81

Lost to Valley City State by 63

 

The played a little tournament in Dickinson over the weekend and lost by 72 to Dickinson State and in the rematch with VCSU they managed to keep the deficit under 100 as they lost by 92.
