It's nice I get to live rent-free inside your head. :wink:

You literally are the one who brought him into this conversation. There's definitely somebody living rent free in a head, but I'm not sure you'll like the answer. Speaking of rent free, thanks in advance for the downvotes @HoopsFan03 @GoodGood @McBuckets

Grown adults worried about downvotes. Should be worried about why our basketball team is down at the end of every game 

Back to the real point of this thread, I think we have no shot against SDSU this week. But Saturday is a HUGE matchup with KC at home.

Aren't you the one who went out of your way to specifically tag me in your post in a completely different thread and topic? And definitely not the first time you've done it.

Rent free indeed :lol:

And you go out of your way to respond to comments I make, whether or not you were tagged in it.

Men's Bball = 1-3 conf and 7-12 overall good for 8th in summit currently 

Women's Bball = 2-2 conf and 7-10 overall good for 5th in summit currently

Football = 2-6 conf and 5-7 overall good for 8th in MV

Hockey = 7-3-2 conf and 12-8-1 overall good for 1st in NSIC, but bad non-con losses have them likely missing NCAAs yet again. 

Soccer = 0-4-4 conf and 4-8-6 overall good for last

Softball 6-12 conf and 14-42 overall good for last 

Volleyball 2-14 conf and 9-18 overall good for last

 

At what point does the pressure move to Chaves instead of just coach by coach? I'm not sure I can find a peer school with worse overall athletics than UND right now, and that includes last year and this year so far. 

This shouldn’t be acceptable

We have not beat SDSU since 2011.

I've never heard a bad word from DAE or about DAE from any of his high school coaches, his coaches with Dakota Phenom, New Orleans, or the 2 coaches he had at CSUN. Obviously there's something with Sather where the two just don't see eye to eye and DAE feels the need to lash out on social media. Sather should worry about improving his winning % and DAE should probably keep it off social media and focus on his career. Just like everyone that moves on from the program, I hope nothing but success for them

Just seems like weird behavior from DAE. Am I missing something in this or does he continue to do this on the X unprovoked?

As some would say, it is strange and odd behavior from a young adult.

 

yes all shots at sather have been unprovoked.

You guys have definitely been big DAE guys from the start.

I probably shouldn’t have brought it up on here. Don’t want to derail what’s actually happening. 

Anyways, just watched the Dariyus Woodson Midco feature. Seems like a good kid. I would be lying though if I wasn’t frustrated with how he’s played out. I knew coming in that 3s was what he liked to shoot but I really think he has a skill set to provide more than that. Not saying he will be a post presence but he is built more than I thought coming in. Feel like he could be a bit more of a point forward almost? Idk just don’t think he should be exclusively a chucker at 31% from 3. Also, has 3 total rebounds in conference play. Shocking for a 6’7” guy playing significant minutes. 

I should add that with the recent NCAA ruling with JUCOs he could technically be a freshman. Believe the waiver right now is only for seniors (Amar).

Im a big Woodson fan, seems like a great addition to the team and a great human being. But definitely agree he needs to develop his all around game more on defense and crashing the boards. 3 total rebounds is crazy for conference play

DAE behavior is strange and odd behavior just like its strange and odd behavior how much it upsets people that a player who hasn’t played a game for UND in 5 years says something negative about Sather. He is clearly getting what he wants with seeing how worked up some people get after he makes a post. Really wish DAE would’ve been an all summit league player for UND and hoping for the best for him in his pro career

As many have pointed out, it has been a disappointing year so far. Take out the money games and the non d-1s and they’re like 4-10 or something like that against “like” opponents.

 

Defensively, it’s been a train wreck to say the least, and Treysen is struggling.

if it continues this way, then und does probably make a change.

Sather is a good coach, i will stand by that, it just hasn’t worked out at UND like im sure he would have wanted, he’d be the first to tell you that would be my guess.

I like Sather. Seems like a really good dude and from many trusted people, a good coach. A lot has happened since he took this job with COVID, the portal and NIL. Now that’s not to say other coaches don’t have that same excuse but he excelled in a different world of college athletics and at a program that prioritized basketball rather than one where it is maybe the 3rd fiddle. 

If things don’t turn around, it does seem like he may have an opportunity to go back to Northern though with the trainwreck Saul has there.

I dont know if anyone else listens to the Reaching the Summit podcast, but I just finished the episode from 2 weeks ago and I think they nailed UND.   Defense is lacking, poor shot selection, team not jelling and coach not getting them the right plays.   Until we get a change at the head spot afraid this is our future.  

Just listened the most recent podcast. They were saying the league feels like it’s down but then stated the Summit is the 20th rated conference, which is up from 24 where it normally is. I think I said on here a couple weeks ago that this is the best the summit has been since we’ve joined. I guess I wouldn’t have guessed people feel like it’s down

Maybe it's because Oral Roberts is so down and people aren't used to St. Thomas leading the way for the conference.

I think it also has to do with all the high end players no longer being in the league. Not saying there’s not new high end players but the league lost a lot of talent last year that had been around a few years. Zeke, Frankie, BJ, Tyree, Andrew Morgan, Boden (yuck), Bjorklund, Bruner.

He's in his 20th year of head coaching. If he was as bad as some insinuate, you'd hear a lot more about it.
But what you stated is what you hear almost universally from co-workers, other coaches, former players and those that have interacted with him in multiple other facets.
Doesn't change the results being below expectations but the continued questioning of his character seems to be a one-off, mostly from one person who it appears has their own baggage (with plenty of examples) and an axe to grind years later.

I think we're all hoping they can figure out how to play team defense, run a more efficient offense and go on a second half run like they did last year.

The way I look at it, St Thomas, ndsu, and SDSU are all very good teams that could be competitive in the ncaa tournament. Omaha on paper so far belongs in that tier. The preseason #1 team is probably 5th in the conference. You look at a team like UND, currently ranked 8th in the conference, and they’re 268 kenpom which is way better than your historical 8th place summit league team
