    Maybe Jones can have a good year and end up at Drake.
    ND got the better end of the calls in 1st half...and we probably did in the 2nd half.

    Personally I think these freedom of movement rules are really hurting college hoops. There's so many fouls called it really detracts from the game. You can tell the players, refs and coaches are all struggling with what's a foul.

    As I believe one of the announcers said last night, college hoops is becoming part 3 point shooting contest, part free-throw shooting contest.

    As for the ND fans calling to fire Jones...that's a head scratcher. He's got a pretty damn good team pulled together there that should take a run at the Big Sky title this year. They need to let that guy keep building on what he's already done. The trend is positive for ND hoops.
    Winning is more fun than losing.

Second half, Morgan just completely took advantage of their mistakes and drew tons of fouls. I doubt you could come up with more than 2 definitively bad calls against UND
      They didn't have a guy that could guard Morgan one on one. They refused to double and morgan abused them for it.

      They cry about refs much like our domestic hawk fans.

        As for Isaiah and for that matter Juwan in the second half. Jake said in the post-game that it just didn't seem a like game for true freshmen against a veteran team like North Dakota.

          I honestly think ND is better than both Wyoming and Mason. Not sure that's a game we win a few weeks ago. Hooker is really good and they've got some really nice complimentary pieces.

          They'll compete for the Big Sky bid.

            Both KenPom and RPIForecast currently project North Dakota to win the Big Sky Conference. If that holds, this will be a good, quality non-con win.

              Agreed. Much more disappointed in the GM and Wyoming results and those are games we win with Lohaus and Koch IMO. A lot of season left folks. I understand being concerned with the offensive decision making and performance at times but this team is still in good shape

                As for Bennett, he was matched up against smaller, quicker and maybe stronger guys and it wasn't working for him. One time he hit the floor and kind of rolled over, sitting with his back to the basket and looked really frustrated and unhappy. This was not his night.

                  I have seen that look on Bennett's face for a number of games. This is a very frustrated player. The player we saw early in the season will return, but right now Friedman's solid defense may be the best option. Pemsl has solid post moves, I'm hoping Friedmans size can bother him.

                    I hope Friedman's UNI career is similar to Marvin Singleton's. Practically no play for two seasons and then all of a sudden during his junior year he becomes a starter and never looks back.

                      Speaking of starting lineups, in 2015 we used 1 starting lineup and in 2016 we used 1 starting lineup. This year we have already used 4 different starting lineups.

                        Those were much more veteran teams, this team obviously isn't, plus at UNI it has been proven starting doesn't matter, coach Jake gives the playing time to those who are playing the best.
