I can’t believe you guys all ganged up on me last night. Refs were fine in the 1st half. We were getting jobbed in the 2nd half 

You have already forgotten that you were defending them throughout the second half, huh?

My biggest complaint in the first half was that non-call travel on Hadnot and then he comes and hammers it home. Although there was a pretty egregious out of bounds call in our favor shortly before that. 

Yes, that one was upsetting.  The no over-the-back call had me questioning whether I actually knew the rules of basketball🤷‍♂️

Over the back is not a call in basketball so yes might want to brush up on the rules of basketball 🤷‍♂️

I watched the highlight video this morning and it really stood out how quiet the crowd was even as Eaglestaff was putting on a show.  Jacks fans were loud, but UND didn't seem to be getting much love.

I’d love for you to find where I agreed with the refs in the 2nd half. I explained how a jumpshot shooting team is never going to shoot the same number of free throws as a team that consistently gets paint touches. I said kick him out when they went to review the Cluff foul. I thought they called a few ticky tack fouls on UND in the 2nd half. Sorry that doesn’t fit whatever narrative you have in your head 

[UND1983]

Over the back is the easiest way to explain it because that’s what everybody knows. Yes, the call is a push by the ref but nobody yells that.

Seriously! We had perfect position, he just climbs over the top. Call that!

This is not a foul. If this is what you guys think we were getting jobbed on, then that explains a lot

It’s a fine line, pushing your player from the back while your upper body is over the shoulders is a foul

a few times UND players went flying when Cluff was up to his I’m a big guy so get out of my way and no call 

the non flagrant was BS

That should be because he is not vertical

If Amar jumps and Cluff goes through him then yes 100% a foul. That’s not what’s happening here

Not a foul yet. Isn’t unless our guy goes straight up and there is more contact. If the Bunny guy can come down with minimum contact then no foul.  If he lands on our guy coming down it should be a foul, but in todays game this kind of contact gets ignored if refs are “letting them play”.

Depends on the ref, some would call it others are homers

There's something there when Trey credited his coaches for his success and if you caught the end of the game they had a great embrace and obviously have a special relationship.  UND was the only school to offer him out of HS and he's being intensely loyal and appreciative of it - that's a good thing!  He's a North Dakota guy at heart and I appreciate that.  Sather might not be the best DI coach but HIS heart is in the right place with his players and he likes coaching here.  Not perfect but I'm okay with him.  UND isn't going to spend any more money on a "big time" coach anytime soon anyway.

If Treyson is this loyal and staying after this year, use the portal to build something special around him for next year.  You can't tell me there's players who would be contributors who would love the opportunity to play with a player of Treyson's caliber.

I was just looking at the Herald lead sport story is Hockey team winning at home last night to get fourth place in the conference. Both basketball programs reach semifinals in the premiere midmajor basketball tournament with story way down list. This is big story for our basketball programs but even our hometown doesn’t treat it like it was. Treyson scoring 51 points was big it was national story but Herald or even forum just didn’t give it much recognition.  I would like to see how they justify this coverage yes they have reporter covering the teams but when coverage is buried in digital paper it shows lack of integrity in their reporting. This some of the reason we have hard time developing these sports players that come to play like to be recognized for their performances. It would also help us getting our fans to game tonight support this team. I hate to have anything negative about last nights performance but it’s time for some accountability by Forum communications on their coverage UND sports.

Agree. Thankfully, I didn't need the Herald, as  I was able to watch the highlights on ESPN Sportscenter this morning and read about the game on the ESPN app.  It was one of their main stories today. 

[forksandspoons]

I’m superstitious. @GoodGood - since you started yesterday’s game thread can you do today’s?! 

[ND-fan]

I also have follow up to the above comment on Herald and Forum Communication I went to Brookings Register site from smaller city than Grand Forks looked at their sports coverage its unbelievable how well they cover sports their to what we get. They cover the universities sports not just one but most and they also cover the high school sports this is what we used to have for coverage people need to express this to Forum communications and also advertisers to make change or find somebody that will compete with them. We need to have government step in breakup company like this when they dominate area news coverage in all aspects media you can’t have monopoly on this.

I think the Herald has a fine sports writing staff, but I can tell you as a friend of a former Herald employee, HOCKEY stories are what drive subscriptions, ads, etc.  Now, we could argue about a chicken and egg thing (i.e. does the Herald need better basketball coverage to drive fan interest or does UND need consistently better basketball teams to force the Herald to place their stories more prominently?  I would say if UND had BBall programs more interesting to follow, fan interest AND more accessible Herald coverage would follow.)  

[ND-fan]

I am probably older than you can remember  when Herald gave coverage to various sports at UnD when programs were having problems coverage was then pointed to why program were not having success. This created following and things changed to improve these teams but what we have now is basically little coverage and no medium to start change there is no pressure from public to make changes. In return no interest in the programs this what media is there for to inform and build consensus on improving things within the community and we have gone backwards to where we are less informed than we were 50 years ago even though we have all this new technology we need people covering  informing us and following up on things locally not just information from all over the nation. Media has failed in this because it’s easier and cheaper to fill space with content on national or regional basis than creating most of your content yourself. Probably has been more profitable in short run but in long run has killed large percentage media off to where local media is now just dying because it’s no different than national source of not interest to large number of the public. Probably why we are seeing growth of podcasters and YouTubers.
