It’s super early but how much of the what looks to be the start of a turnaround should be credited to Hutter? I feel like he has made an immense impact early. 

Tough to tell. He has the experience that I would think would be very helpful. As long as the coaching staff gets along with each other.

IMO his biggest impact has been  team culture and experience with how to run a successful program. The team seems to play more together and is more bought in.

I feel a great deal has to do with coach Hutter. One example Hurst our 4 star recruit under Mal was starting over the past 2 years. She plays zero defense and if she isn't hitting multiple 3s total liability.  This year she doesn't see the playing floor.  Why the first two years did she play significant roles and this year nothing ?  Guarantee coach Hutter put a end to it. If Mal saw it the first two years why did she keep playing her.

Rivalry weekend for UND with NDSU  but now what will be  game plan be for UND. I pretty much know what SU game plan will be to take advantage of their length and try to get open looks at three. They will try to out rebound us on offensive side and get us in foul trouble on inside.

Und has choice of man to man pressure defense or go to match up zone force SU into trying to beat them with three where they have been his season. I think they may change up on defense depending what is having best results and to protect them from getting in foul trouble. Offensively we will need to have good afternoon from outside and then be able to push them on transition where I believe they could be vulnerable if we do it smartly. The other question will SU pressure us full court to create turnovers and trap our smaller players. We will need big games out of Demers and Ibrahim on inside and then will be if Schiller and Aumer will be able to score with length that SU will have against them. 
I think we will have difficult time winning Jory has gad our number and hasn’t lost to us at home. I also worry our turnover problems will return especially in hostile gym if things start going wrong.

Mallory on Dom - another UND basketball coach who says they are not concentrating on wins and loses

I hope that is just spin for Fargo media because at this time of the season it’s all about winning because more wins in conference sets up for better position in the conference tournament. Second yes your working on getting better but now you have to find ways to win even when your not playing Well or not playing like you would like. I am afraid if she wasn’t spinning it means they have started over Hutters system and she not comfortable with it she has reservations and why she is not sleeping at night with her ending comment about kids to Dom. This final stretch they have to perform and she knows this.

Maybe Mallory should coach high school if she doesn't think wins and losses matter.

Sather said the same thing. Maybe wins and losses don’t matter to anyone in the athletic department

Which flows from the top (Chaves). Which is why Chaves has to go.

She did. And she won a whole lot of games. 

The lack of ability to read through coach-speak in media appearances is hilarious.

Not sure I’ve heard many winning coaches say wins and losses don’t matter. In fact I think most good coaches say winning is the only thing that matters. Maybe I’m wrong

Taking in the double header today. First time seeing the women live.

Your ability to shill for this athletic department is what's hilarious.

Hakstol was a master of coach-speak, but I don't think he ever said wins and losses don't matter. Neither did Blais, Roebuck, Glas or Lennon.

You’re also talking to the same guy that said a coach with a 30% win rate through 6 years could go either way in getting another extension or not……. 
 

Don’t want to go back to read that novel post he made but I’m pretty sure he said the same thing about Mallory……

First quarter observations...

UND is a bad BB team

Demers is a defensive liability 

Can't run an offensive every set from 20' out

Schiller looks frustrated but she plays so hard

How about second quarter ? 

[Oxbow6]

33-30 UND at half

Schiller is legit

She is for sure legit. Good thing she lives in grand forks and loved UND. Or i don't believe Mal could get her. But they are beating a very good NDSU team at home.  I'm coming around on these girls.

Schiller is so legit. Such a good opportunity the next 3+ years to surround her with talent and good coaching. I said it before that she can have a Caitlin Clark effect locally.

And now?

[SiouxFan100]

I think we got called for questionable fouls. 
Abrahim is a deal breaker making it tough for su posts

we could have folded but came back strong 

we are not getting open three point shots

Let’s keep the turnovers in check

We are playing tough

Halftime update? 

[SiouxFan100]

Stats show we have blocked six of their shots 

we are shooting 61% and they are shooting 36% - this will even out

[SiouxFan100]

To be fair - if someone for the first time saw us play that first qtr we were struggling and for a bit looked like we were going to get routed
