GDT: Jackrabbits vs Fighting Hawks 7pm The Betty Midco/ESPN+

[bigticket1]

Third team in all of college basketball to get to 20 wins, but it sure wasn't pretty.. Really need the five days before the next one.

This game reminded of the Saturday afternoon games in HS when we would go on our West River trips, we would always barely beat an overmatched RC school or Sturgis in front of like 150 people because of crap FT and deep shooting.

Also, I am not a fan of the UND announcers for Midco, glad I only gotta listen to them once.

Really? I thought those announcers were quite fair. Much better than most on the road.

Wasn't the fairness or stuff like that, it was them blowing a friggin load everytime a D1 basketball player hit a layup.

The legs sure seemed tired. Missed threes missed free throws and Easlys missed layup at the end. Yikes.

I’ll take an ugly road win all day though.

This was one I didn’t have the stomach to watch for more than 5 minutes leading to halftime. Trap game for sure. I watched the gamecast on ESPN scoreboard so I wouldn’t hate myself if we’d have dropped this one.

Hopefully got it out of their system and ready to battle this weekend. Onward and upward Jacks!!

This was exactly what I feared in my first post in this thread.

UND played HARD, credit to their coaches and players for the effort.

Knew it was going to be tough, having just blown them out 4 days earlier at home. Always tougher on the road, especially with such a short turnaround, and a good staff like UND has.

The good thing is, they got through it. It happens. This sport is crazy, man. Anyway can lose to anyone on the wrong day. (See Idaho game)

Which makes what the Jackrabbits have done so far this season, all the more impressive.

It probably wasn't realistic to expect the Jacks to continue to lead the nation in 3 point % by as large a margin as they were. When they come out of this slump, it will be interesting to see if they return to the level they were at, or if they settle in somewhere closer to the other top shooting teams.

At the end of the day, all roads point to the Summit League Tourney and winning three games in rapid succession to try and get into the Big Dance.

This was game 3 in five days which isn't far from 3 games in four days at the SLT. It wasn't pretty at all but they pulled it out in the end. I'm going to look at that as a sign of progress. Earlier in the year they dropped a similar game at Idaho. Last night, they found a way to get the W. IMHO the defense has improved a great deal. That will be huge come tournament time.

They get a little rest and then off to face the Yotes on the road. which is another step in the process. The Yotes are one of five teams with a winning conference record.

Bottom line is they are 11-0. That is impressive, uncharted territory and a lot of fun to watch. Hard to believe we are already into February. It is going by too fast.
