Sioux WIN!

79-56 Final Score

Maybe not quite the margin of victory it could have been, but a win nonetheless. It will be nice for the team to have a little time off, and then get Gutter and Doyle (and maybe Harkins) back for the post-Christmas games. Barring any further injury setbacks, UND could surprise some people once conference play starts.

UND outrebounded Bemidji 37-27.

The Sioux did have 18 turnovers, which is way too many against a poor team like BSU.

I agree, I think it was good win on the road. Doyle is obviously missed, and I think Gutter is probably more important. UND needs an inside presence. Gutter has provided that when he's played, but he's missed some time due to injury and currently for personal reasons (death in the family). I think if Gutter stays healthy and contributes after the new year, Koenig is productive, and the big guy Lenhertz gets in the mix, those 3 guys could give UND an inside presence that they need, combined with the play of their guard/sm forwards, the Sioux could make a little bit of noise in the NCC this year.
