UND (6-1) @ Cal State Fullerton (2-4) 12/1 8PM

[sioux24/7]

UND (KP 241) heads out west for the return game for Fullerton (KP 214) competing in the MTE last year. UND actually kind of had their way with them last year in somewhat of a surprise. 

Well fast forward to this year and UND is riding a 6 game win streak while Fullerton has one D1 win over Southern Miss. Despite the records, KenPom predicts UND to fall in this one 73-68. 

It appears that this is another team with a high scoring guard, Max Jones. He’s averaging 18.5 points, 3.8 boards and 2.8 assists. I’d also keep an eye on Donovan Oday. Looks like he’s coming off the bench but average 10.6 points. I’m mostly interested in him because I was hoping to land him out of high school and then again when he transferred from McNeese State. Not sure if an official offer was ever made either time but he was on their radar at least. 

Looks like we will be able to catch this one on ESPN+.

Hoping to see Brooks back out there tonight! Was it confirmed that he was sick and that's why he wasn't even at the game?

Games tomorrow big guy

Yes, he fell ill just before the last game.

UND is +5.5 with the total at 141.5. Implied score of 73-68. 

I expect to win, but there’s no reason we don’t cover.

I like UND ML! Think we see the best performance of the season tonight 

[forksandspoons]

Let's go Hawks!

[sioux24/7]

Down 19-14 with under 8 to go in the first half. Doesn’t feel like we have our A game by any means. Need Omot to be the alpha. 

[Nodak78]

Very cold shooting.

[Nodak78]

Defense is getting lazy.

[forksandspoons]

Gotta get some stops here 

[sioux24/7]

Down 27-17. No offense. 

[SD UND]

Coach Sather just took one of those magical timeouts- let’s see if it works 

[sioux24/7]

This has ms a bit worried going forward. Obviously we weren’t going to win every game but our offense is nonexistent. 

[Nodak78]

Shooting 27%.  Out rebounded 21-14

[SD UND]

Until T pulls his head out of his ass- offense will sputter at times in almost every game 

[GoodGood]

Drive and kicks that should be 3s are simply not 3s with this roster 

[Kab]

Can’t play worse can we 

[Nodak78]

Missing bunnies.

 

 

 

[GoodGood]

Fullerton is doing a great job at scrambling on defense. I’m impressed

I was wrong 

[sioux24/7]

The start to the year, minus Iowa, has been fun but we knew there was some luck involved and we weren’t beating amazing teams. This game, so far, isn’t what we are either. I still think we have work to do to be atop the summit though. Middle of the pack finish and then hopefully a strong run in Sioux Falls.

Not to get too off topic of this game but I haven’t really been impressed by anyone in the summit so far. I think even the “top” teams are very beatable. I think anything is possible this year

if we can come back and win this...........lfg
