Winona Basketball

Recommended Posts

As a Winona fan (and parent) who was at the game I can truly say Karma is as probably as good of a word as any. This year throughout the year so many games were won that could have and should have been lost.

The PG Malvick who lost the ball (and also missed the front end of a one-and-one 10 seconds earlier) should not hang his head at all ... Winona would not have been in the championship at all without his play during the NCAA regionals.

There's no doubt in my mind that Winona is the better team but on this day they got out-played, out-coached and out-"fanned". Barton deserves the championship.

Onto next year!

I hope to see Winona play the Sioux in the NCAA regionals!

who would win if Und played Wsu in B-ball this year?? :glare:
At the risk of starting a fight ... Winona, and it probably wouldn't be close.

UND:

- last year went 5 - 5 against NSIC conference schools, Winona was undefeated

- last year went 1 - 6 against other common opponents (St. Cloud, Mankato and Duluth). Winona was 3-0.

- I'm not sure UND added any players who are immediately going to be game-changers

Winona:

- Has the D2 player of the year returning

- 2 preseason all-americans

- 4 of their 5 starters returning losing their PG Malvick (a significant but recoverable loss)

- Has probably more size than UND on its roster, including that POY character

Certainly Winona's team last year was significantly better than UND's. Probably, this year will be the same, although UND should be much-improved.
