It is really hard to believe where Mal has taken this once proud program.  Gene Roebuck would have broken 5 clipboards by now.  Of course if Gene were here, we would never look like this either.  Dribble through  zone press - turnover.  Hold the ball forever and not recognize they are playing zone - bad shot or turnover.  No defense.  No fire other than Schiller.  We are on course to surpass our own turnover record of 28.  Likely going to beat it tonight.  It is getting really hard to talk myself into going to watch these.  Clearly time for a change…

I like the breaking clipboard type

We pull away and win 73-61

things just will get a lot tougher 

not very optimistic right now

I will be the first to admit I have always backed Mal, but I think Hutter is HC sooner rather than later. As a Mayville grad I know he is a winner. Can’t be any worse.

Dakota State beat Mayville by 26. Tonight SDSU beat Dakota State by almost 40.  Should give us a clue how far behind we are in the summit.

Wow 

yes, not looking good

[ndsportfan]

Even though they got a W tonight.... that was a total loss for UND.  Mayville State barely has enough to field a team and had to recruit on campus to fill a roster and they almost beat UND and honestly dominated the majority of the game.   They were out hustled, out played, and definitely outcoached!

Which basketball program are we feeling better about? It’s probably the men’s team but idk it’s close. 

[gfhockey]

Mal tell everyone this team can win the summit?

Neither. Both are so far behind it’s unbelievable 

[shep]

Lots of TOs by players dribbling into trouble. 
 

I thought the D was much better v Bethel. Last night was a step back.

I thought that Bernhard could turn the corner as coach and she has recruited better talent here in last two years but what I see is we get players here and if anything I see regression in their fundamental basketball as their careers move along. The program right now should be playing better basketball with the talent we have here now. Chaves needs to address this by end of the season and probably they need to move Mallory into another roll at UND. If Mallory is ever going to coach at this level she needs to be assistant with another coach learn how they develop players and teach fundamentals to their players. I have feeling she has couple of assistant coaches that could help her now but  she is falling back into her style of coaching as she played basketball not trusting or wanting to change.

You are seeing talent where it doesn't exist!

[ND-fan]

• Yes, there is talent on this team. Pemberton has talent and has even gotten better without coaching .  Schiller can become very good point guard. Ibrahim is rough but with some work on fundamentals should have been redshirted last year but we needed some length.  Piekny looks to be long and quick and has nice shot. Horne, Demers, and Volmer (if she gets healthy) can play minutes in various rolls. Couple of other freshmen to early to tell what there future.  The players I have mentioned are quick enough to be effective at Division I and with proper coaching we would see the talent come through. The rest on team I don’t think should be playing division I basketball they have some skills to play at this level but not enough to succeed .This how I see it now with this team. The elite team in Summit is South Dakota State they could end up being top 25 team this year but will be hard to get to with rest of the Summit. North Dakota state and Oral Roberts will battle for number two in conference. St Thomas will round out top four. The rest of Summit will be question who has most home wins to come in fifth. Should be year of playing your players who have most talent and see if can develop beginnings of competitive team. We need to still find players with length and speed priority in next years recruiting class and again and again.

After last night, there’s lots of hope for men

Everything looks better when you have a guy score 40 and the team shoots 42% from three on 41 attempts…
 

Hopefully we can build off last night!

D1 talent is different from just having talent.

Does anyone know what color UND will wear today in Laramie? I would love to wear the same color jersey. I have a green and a black one. 

[petey23]

Saw UND is down at half at Wyoming.

UND's has turned it over on half....yes, half of their possessions. That is 6th grade girls basketball level.

[SiouxFan100]

Down by 13 at the half at Wyoming 

same old same old

16 turnovers - just under an amazing one a minute- just not improving - after Mal acknowledged the problem and said they were working on it 

1-8 from three

doing good rebounds 

[SiouxFan100]

Of the nine players that Wyoming has played so far the shortest is 5’ 10”.  Lots of length 

we are still out rebounding them though 

[SiouxFan100]

Lose to Wyoming 73-41

we scored three points in the 4th quarter 

we had 29 turnovers  - they had 17 steals - we can’t dribble or pass as we had six assists 

we were 2-13 from the three

demers had 13 points - only player over six points today

we are doing ugly with no end in sight

But the real question is, what's the team GPA and community service hours?

[gfhockey]

And how’s culuture

[SiouxFan100]

Pretty tired of sucking so bad - gotta think  - never mind - for whatever reason we aren’t doing it
