UND vs. Creighton

[NDRoots4Life]

Did we not have a forum yet? Starting one as I'm watching the game. Tied up as of now.

[Siouxperbb32]

Well I turned game on and we were up 15-10 and 2 min later we were down 15-22. My bad. Didnt seem to have a good rotation in when I turned it on. 

[sioux24/7]

Sorry. I’ve been slacking this year. I see Karson Ouse on the court. I think that’s his debut? Surprised by that.

This could get out of hand fast. We fight for a few points, they drain 3s.

Noticed that as well. Was he expected to get minutes?

Playing some crazy lineups

whos in the dog house or injured

[Siouxperbb32]

Ya these rotations are crazy n getting killed by em.

[Kab]

Jones hasn’t played yet 

[Siouxperbb32]

Ya haven't seen him in yet n post guys can't be getting the ball stolen away from them after a simple entry at the elbow.

[Siouxperbb32]

Most players just don't understand situational basketball and when don't need to take a 3 we jack up 2 in a row instead of keep attacking and chipping away.

[Siouxperbb32]

There much better basketball just keep attacking.

[F'n Hawks]

Nice little run there. Down 8 

[Siouxperbb32]

And now have them playing bad situation basketball by jacking up bad 3s

[Siouxperbb32]

And then we jack up another bad 3

down 8...gray has the ball on the fast break and instead of pulling it out he goes full Dr j and gets rejected...game over from there. had a chance to cut it to 6...nope

[Siouxperbb32]

Ya i can't criticize him too much on that one as at least he was trying to get to the rim entire game but some guys that have to jack up a 3 when not even wide open just makes my blood boil watching ball these days. Kraft is maybe a different story but pretty much nobody else should be forcing a 3 at anytime on this team.

They had 3 straight turnovers n we jack up a bad 3 in that same sequence and a couple others shortly after when we were gaining cuz they were actually jacking up 3s and missing in that same span. If we coulda maybe made a couple more 2s in that time n got it back to 4-6 coulda been anyone's game.

Live by the 3, die by the 3 and UND doesn't have the shooters to live long.

Last night was the most I have been able to watch this season but Garrett Anderson is a bit disappointing, in my opinion. Thought he was going to provide a bigger scoring punch. 

[UND92,96]

Anybody know why Micah didn't play last night? If Natsvlishvili can provide the kind of production he did last night on a semi consistent basis (10 points, 7 boards), that would be outstanding. I think the rotation of Uelmen, King, Anderson, Marley, Guga, Micah, Kraft and Smith, by the end of the season, could be a pretty decent team.

Guessing his back is acting up. Might be a thing all season.

It sounds like Micah still struggling with a back injury.  I think that is why we saw Karson play - which in my opinion is a bad decision to pull his red-shirt, he didn't look ready. Guga had decent stats at the end of the game, but his 1st half numbers were not there - hopefully he gets more consistent.  I am still a believer of pulling that defending big out of the lane to open up the driving lanes. Without Jones, we did it more often, and I think uncovered more opportunities for the drive. We need our big to hit a few 3s though - we didn't get that last night, but from what I hear, bothun can shoot the ball, so hopefully with some more minutes more will fall.

[sioux24/7]

Pulling Ouse’s shirt says a lot for what they think of Erikson, in my opinion. 

[Kab]

I would pull most redshirts with the transfer portal
