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

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.

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. 

i do like that the one set goes all the way to the wall........but why couldn't they have gone all the way to the baseline???????

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.

We should work on filling up the arenas we have.

I’m not suggesting bigger, I’m suggesting better. 

I really like the setup at USD.

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.

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.

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.

I’m pretty sure we’re playing the Concordia from Moorhead not St Paul

They are playing Concordia Cobbers from Moorhead.

Interesting that the last two wins have actually dropped UND in KenPom from 236 to 243.

Yeah, not really sure what either team gets from scheduling a game like this. Looking at their roster, their tallest player is 6’6”.  I can’t imagine NDSU even plays their starters in this one.

Wow and I thought UND scheduling Northland was bad.

Ok. ESPN site says Concordia S.P. but I see CBS and our site say Moorhead
