GoodGood Posted February 2 Posted February 2 We got a scheduling break as we had a week to prepare for sdsu. Got 4 very winnable games coming up and then a week off before playing ndsu. Can’t ask for a much more of a favorable setup 1 Quote

Not sure if it’s Omaha coming back to reality or just Vermillion has been a tough place to play this year. Hopefully we can pull our own upset this weekend Tough to play in front of all those fans dressed as seats. 2 Quote

sioux24/7 Posted February 3 Author Posted February 3 7 games left, what’s everyone’s prediction on how we close this thing out? KenPom has us going 2-5 beating ORU and Denver. Besides your prediction, what does Sather have to do the rest of the way and in the tournament to warrant an extension? I don’t know if this warrants it but I could see finishing 4-3 in this stretch and then winning 1 game in the SLT and Chaves extends him. Whether you agree with that or not is one thing but Chaves cannot lame duck Sather. Either move on or extend. Quote

Whether you agree with that or not is one thing but Chaves cannot lame duck Sather. Either move on or extend. Two weeks ago I predicted a 7-9 conference record so I’ll stick with that. I think a minimum for an extension would be go 5-2 and win 2 games in the SLT. At the end of the day he’s still a coach that’s won roughly 33% of his games in 6 years 3 Quote

How about we look at the last 6 YEARS like any normal school/AD would do. To me if they go 5-2 (really 6-2 if you count Saturday) that means they beat the teams they should, plus beat another top 3 team in the conference. Then if they win 2 games in the SLT that means they likely beat 2 top 4 seeds. That would be a pretty good run to end the year and worth adding a year to his contract (if adding just a single year is even a thing). Quote

If they achieved all that I would think it deserves a multi year extension. I agree that right now Chaves needs to go and Sather’s future is up in the air, but what do you think the expectations should be at UND and why? 1 Quote

If all that happened he would have a career winning percentage of 36%. And you want to give him a multi year extension? Yea I think expectations should be higher than that. Why? Because that’s pathetic 1 Quote

UND1983 Posted February 5 Posted February 5 What was Jones winning percentage? Glas? Gunther? just cause we have hockey it doesn’t mean we cannot win in basketball at a .500 clip 2 Quote
ND1 Posted February 5 Posted February 5 In my opinion, nothing happens to Sather this year in short of a total collapse which I don’t see happening. The athletic dept will have its hands full on the direction of UND Hockey after their season and will simply leave Sather’s contract intact until the early part of next season and then make decision. I know the 5 posters on here that continually want him fired will argue but fundraising/attendance for the program is very strong and that is fact, talk to anyone within the athletic dept. Bottom line, the Summit League is a one bid league, UND is not playing for a regional/national bid like hockey and football. We are only playing for seeding at the year-end conference tournament. I know, I know the record, record, record …. Don’t get me wrong, overall records are important, but they don’t mean as much in mid major BB as they do in the other sports, sorry! See you in at the tournament in March. 2 Quote
