UND (8-5) vs. St. Thomas (8-5) 12/29 @ 7PM

[sioux24/7]

UND (KP 252) couldn’t pull of the upset last week against Nebraska but showed some really impressive moments but just couldn’t hold it together in the 2nd half. But now it’s onto conference play, with 2 Big Sky games mixed in, and it starts with St. Thomas (191). 

UST had a strong non-con including a near upset over a top 10ish Marquette team. They are led by Parker Bjorklund (#5), averaging 14.2ppg and 4.8rpg, and Raheem Anthony (#24), averaging 9.8ppg, 4.5rpg and 3apg. 

Tough opponent that’s well-coached. KenPom projects UND to pull off a tight one 68-67, while Bart Torvik projects a 67-66 loss. Get out to the Betty and check out Tyree and the squad in action. Guessing most haven’t seen him play in person due to him playing the Covid year.

Excited to watch this team in person for the first time this year!

[forksandspoons]

Pack the Betty!

2.5 point favorite with only 49.6% chance of winning per espn

so if you are a favorite why less than 50% chance to win ?

[SiouxFan100]

Coach needs to get our team ready

[UND1983]

Wtf is going on?  

[SiouxFan100]

Not ready for prime time 

we are sooooooooooo inconsistent 

[forksandspoons]

Oofda 

[SiouxFan100]

Not impressed with our coach right now

[SiouxFan100]

We don’t do optimism - once we do. - it is dashed

[Kab]

Put in the subs, wtf is sather  doing not having team ready 

[Kab]

Worse start than the ladies, 

[forksandspoons]

This is so brutal lol 

[SiouxFan100]

Do we actually have offensive plays? Really doesn’t look like it

[forksandspoons]

Two years in a row I haven’t been impressed by a single st Thomas player. They play team basketball through and through 

[SiouxFan100]

Sather will be soooo impressed that we dug ourselves out of a 22 point deficit and got it to 12 points 

I really hope I am wrong 

[petey23]

Need to pound it inside against defense like this and score at the rim and get to the line. 

[UND1983]

Lot of time left.
