I would love the excitement for basketball as football has now with a coaching change.  Our basketball programs are so beaten down it's depressing

Looks like I missed the Mara show!! Final score is not shocking

They’re benching a 1st Team All-Conference player for a walk-on. Sums up our coaching staff.

The reason I said it was silly was because -10.5 for UST so thought it would be silly to do an alternate line there.

My favorite saying is “Nobody has ever gone broke making a profit.” Get it however you can I guess

Eagle was 0-6 and Zero points.  He has major issues following up big performances

I don't understand how Kraft is so bad at defense. He's not slow, he has pretty good speed. But he is constantly either burned on defense and/or in bad position. Is there hope this improves and he develops into a key player for us? I didn't watch him play in high school, so not sure if this is a chronic problem or just struggling a bit in the shift to Div 1 and will learn.

I’m going to choose to stay away from this topic. Don’t want to get told that I’m hating again when it’s just the truth of the matter

My problem with Kraft getting minutes is the same problem I had with Brady D getting minutes. You cannot be a role player and be forced to guard the other teams worst offensive player AND have the opposing teams worst defender guard you.

I do notice teams immediately pick on him. If he can somehow figure it out on defense he could be really good.

St.T doesn’t have the athletic players that UND has but they have a coach that gets them in position to win games and the players know how to use screens to hit 3s.

und players are constantly chasing on defense , end up with 2 players guarding the same guy leaving someone wide open for a 3 

I don’t see anything but a one and done come tourney time

Looked like they were picking on Treyson also.  Their coach went right at our weak defenders every time.  Smart coaches win games

You want to know why our defense sucks. Amar has blocked 1 shot during conference play. 1 blocked shot from our starting center! That’s damn near impossible!!

I’m not sure, didn’t watch. Didn’t even notice that. Our two preseason 1st team all conference players combined for 34 minutes last night. Awesome!

We went smaller lineup with Deng at the 5 a lot. Similar to what we did against NDSU.
