Re: NDSU Game Thread

Did he have more of a man crush then the 2 sitting in the Gen. Admission seats with the "Woodside" banner made and wearing his jersey?

I think he might have...after Woodside missed one of his free throws, I leaned over to my wife and said "Maybe he isn't God after all."

Re: NDSU Game Thread

I totally agree. One of my biggest pet peeves is when Season Ticket Holders give their seats up to the opposing team's fans.

I had an NDSU fan sit behind me (a seat pirate), he had this enormous "Man Crush" on Woodside. After Kai dunked it and the crowd got into it I gave a big yell and stared right at the guy. He obviously got the point and was pretty quiet the rest of the game. Nothing makes me more mad than having the other team's fans sit in the reserved seats and being obnoxious.

I REALLY wanna know who gave their front row seats to those NDSU J-E-R-K-S (next to Mike Redmond). That was just plain WRONG.

Re: NDSU Game Thread

I've been holding my tongue since last night, but for some reason I can't get over that game. I haven't been that pissed off leaving a game in a long, long time.

I went last night having a good feeling of the Jacks playing a very good game. Moral victory...HA! Never.

How many freekin' layups did they give up? Twenty, for real? No wonder they're giving up 60% shooting from the floor lately. Bring in the skinny @$$ 6'11" guy and have him drill a couple of guys coming in the lane and maybe they'll think a little more about driving every time.

To allow a team to come back and force overtime when they are down by 5 with a minute to go and not even make a bucket is absolutely unacceptable. To let Woodside go crashing into every effin guy on the court until he gets a foul call is such crap, effective, but crap and for the Jacks to allow him to do it is more crap. Steal the ball, take a charge, something, come on!!!

The shot Callahan took was just junk too. Have some presence of where you are and how much time is left. Where the heck was Cordova in that last minute? Granted they could have went all hack a Shaq on him, but for the stuff he was throwing up to go in, he was the best option.

That 60 foot shot by Winkleman could have just as well went in, it would have eliminated the five minutes of pain in overtime.

I read the article in the paper this morning and it just revved me up again. This was not a disappointing loss. This was an aggravating loss.

Gotta come out with some assertiveness on Thursday and win and then again Saturday. These are home games, they must be won for Sioux Falls in March to be an option.

Let's just admit....Sioux Falls is NOT an option and get over it. I don't care who it is...Ya don't lose IN THE HOUSE. I agree with everything you said. I REALLY wanna know who gave their front row seats to those NDSU J-E-R-K-S (next to Mike Redmond). That was just plain WRONG.

I've discovered that I'm really, really hoarse today. My vocal cords got a workout last night. Anyone else?

Re: NDSU Game Thread

Two things...

You can talk about our fans but within the basketball program there is a tremendous amount of respect for SDSU. Don't forget that.

As for next year, there is talent on that bench but those guys don't really get a chance to show it or develop with guys like Woodside, Nelson, and Winks out there. Those guys are going to get their touches, that is just the way it is. However, I do like how the bench guys have picked up there play, it is night and day from last year.

Will they turn into big time contributers next year? Who knows but I wouldn't exactly write them off before they get a chance. I won't say NDSU will be the best team in the Summit or anything like that(Oakland is going to be great next year) but the team is mid-level and could be very solid by the time the end of the season rolls around.

I don't think anyone disputes that your bench players might develop and improve significantly in the off season to become contributors. It was your friend tjbison trying to say that we don't have a bench. It was probably the most clueless thing he's ever posted. I won't go over the details again as others have addressed it, but your top 4 have taken 845 of 1143 shots this year. They play 3/4 of the minutes played. Woodside has taken 69 more free throws than every bench player combined. These are the facts. We return almost everyone and add the two best players in the state next year. Depth advantage/bench = SDSU by a long shot. Woodside is a terror and I thank my lucky stars he is gone after this year. Players like him come around rarely and I am happy he is almost done. And Nelson and Winkelman aren't too damn shabby either. To this end, SDSU will be pretty damn solid next year. That's the truth and you can take it straight to the bank.

Re: NDSU Game Thread

Being at the game last night, I too was disappointed with the outcome, but I think that Coach Nagy has this team heading in the right direction and if we get a few more breaks and a couple of the layups go in we beat the #1 team in the conference.

Also when we get that first game to go our way watch out for the Rabbits!

Re: NDSU Game Thread

At least I got a chuckle about something tonight.

I'm sorry but if I was judging the dive, it would have received low marks. He wasn't verticle (thank god) and there would have been a huge splash. In all seriousness, that is a play many people get hurt from and we are lucky Kai didn't get hurt.

Re: NDSU Game Thread

Hnnnnnnhhhh???
Anyone explain this?

Its not worth trying to explain.

Re: NDSU Game Thread

I think we need to start worrying about next year ... next year, not now. How NDSU shapes up with the loss of four gifted seniors, is a judgement call. As others have said, we got most of our people back, and with another year of experience under their belt, we can only be a better team.. I do like Woody's comment that "we were lucky to win", and unspoken is the preception is that SDSU has improved. Three close loses do sting however, but lets hope our guys can shake it off.

Re: NDSU Game Thread

LOL! whatever!!! SDSU has Great players, man your guys have great talent hope NDSU and SDSU can own the summit but, yes we lose 4 Awsome players, but our bench has been able to come in and give a rest to the starters and still manage a apparently poor 8-1 conference record!!! if our bench is weak than well... SDSU won't have a bench next year!

Hnnnnnnhhhh???
