SiouxFan100 Posted January 31 Posted January 31 We are down by eight at the half. This is a game we can show we are getting better. A win would be expected if we are getting better. Quote

Kab Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Mal and hutter were having a few words a bit ago Mal should coach more and bitch at the refs less 1 Quote
NewUndFan Posted January 31 Posted January 31 We just need a overhaul with women's basketball. Not sure why Mal don't try playing both bigs at once. Demers and Ibrahim. Ibrahim deserves more minutes. 2 Quote

SiouxFan100 Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Showing some heart down four with four minutes left in game Quote
gfhockey Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Watching on tv it’s funny how the mayville guy will be trying to coach in the huddle and mal cuts him off Quote
NewUndFan Posted January 31 Posted January 31 They just need to make Hutter the coach. His teams in Mayville with much smaller players beat UND. 1 Quote
shep Posted January 31 Posted January 31 They made a nice comeback and the offensive movement was much better in the 4th. This team can’t rely on 3S Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted January 31 Posted January 31 We did a lot of good things. Decent turnovers, even rebounds. Couldn’t get crucial stops - gave up crucial offensive rebounds and we struggled from the free throw line. We only got two points off the bench. Quote
Kab Posted January 31 Posted January 31 A couple of UND charges were questionable but don’t questions the refs Quote
ND-fan Posted January 31 Author Posted January 31 We’re not running any offense it just push try to create drive and score. This is Mallory game up tempo game then one on one individual scoring and offensive rebounding scoring.but all individual. Announcer said we’re playing like we’re at track meet. This is not formula to win and be successful in the Summit. The result ends in loss, Ruth Sinn out coached us and just played fundamental game and team game. Mallory lost patience and goes back to her style of basketball and we were never in the game really and we lost. This should have been winnable game for us playing at home but we just took step backwards again or should I say returned to what we have been for Mallory’s tenure as head coach. Chaves and Armacost I hope were at this game because they should not be pleased with this performance when St. Thomas is beating us now regularly even in their probation period transitioning from D3. I thought we had chance finish 5 in conference now we’re looking at probably finishing 6 and maybe 7th so we will end up probably playing SU ending our season having 3 loss season to them. Quote
ND-fan Posted February 1 Author Posted February 1 All you can say is 20 turnovers and points off turnovers 31 to our points off turn overs of 6. I could say number of things but we’re trying to play fast again and guess what return to same old results turnovers and we can’t win games like that. Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted February 1 Posted February 1 We lost by ten and we missed 10 free throws. we gave up half of their points to Larkin -39 points. She went to her right almost all the time but we just couldn’t stop her - couldn’t force her to go to her left we outrebounded them and shot a better percentage from the field correct turnovers killed us pemberton had a monster game with 17 rebounds and 19 points aumer had ten rebounds Schiller willed us to give us a chance at the end we played a decent game less the turnovers and not doing what we needed to do to stop Larkin (double team her?) Quote
ND-fan Posted February 1 Author Posted February 1 Larkins looks like she beat us. What beat us is the turnovers we give up to many possessions and those possessions turnover turn into points to them. We out rebounded and shot better percentage but it still was not enough to offset the turnovers. Foul shooting was 60% but season average of 78% would have netted us another 4 points. Not mentioned how we had to pressure them to stay in game resulting putting them to free throw line 23 times. Reason we even got back in this game was they continued to shoot three point shots at terrible percentage and still we couldn’t come back. Take back turnover points to even 15 which should be on high end we win by 6 points even if Larkins scores 40. Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted February 1 Posted February 1 A guy can do all things with numbers. for instance larkins averages 24 points. I guy could say that if we hold her to her average we win by 5. truth is with most games it is a combination of things that determines the winner. Turnovers certainly were a big part. Quote
TeedUppp Posted February 1 Posted February 1 ND had no flow on offense or defense all game. There were no visible adjustments to correct anything. Refs rolled out the red carpet for Larkins to do whatever she wanted as well. Seemed like the ladies just looked defeated all game. End of game strategy was another head-scratcher. Another close result, without the W. 1 Quote
CMSioux Posted February 2 Posted February 2 One of the problems with hiring a legacy as your coach is it is hard to move on when the time comes. 1 Quote
ND-fan Posted February 2 Author Posted February 2 I agree Mallory is green through and through but problem is she hasn’t been able to become coach many thought she could become. It time for UND find her position she can still contribute to athletic department and women’s sports. The UND family needs to step back see the facts of where we are just like we did with Bubba move on. 1 Quote

Kab Posted February 2 Posted February 2 UND can’t afford to find all the bad coaches a position with UND Quote
ND-fan Posted February 2 Author Posted February 2 Because athletic department has been my observation is small group.of people and donors and alumni are big part these people are close and friends from top to bottom and when things get to where needed change they take care of people like Mallory and Bubba. They then always have money to make it happen. There have been just firings like Chris Mussman, Brewster, and Logan but these were coaches not part of inner UND family and Grand Forks community. This is my observation from afar and have seen this over the 50 years I have been following UND sports since I was junior high. Quote

We cannot run this athletic department like the family restaurant, where the incompetent son-in-law gets to keep managing the place despite poor performance. Results have to matter. This is Division I athletics, not a small town high school. 1 Quote
