4-Year UND H/H Deal

They will play home and homes beginning this year.

NDSU tweeted it out, but UND has a release on their website (which I won't link here).

I guess we need to help them balance their budget by improving their ticket sales?

They will be in the Summit before the end of the 4 years anyway.

I am ok with BB getting a h/h game each year. Yes I think you are correct on them coming to the Summit sooner than later.

It makes sense for both programs regardless. Cheap travel for the road part of the deal, guaranteed sellout on both ends for the home part of the deal. It's not like NDSU basketball is consistently selling out. I wouldn't expect sellouts to be the norm even with the new arena.

This was the right thing to do. Replace meaningless games vs Mayville and Valley City State with a better rivalry game. Now we get dont have to wait every other year for a home game.

Agreed. Basketball season is pretty long. Playing UND won't matter unless the Summit starts getting two bids.

I agree this is the right thing to do, but I'll believe this is replacing those games when I see it.

[HerdBot]

I'm all for this. Guaranteed sell out. Good games. Easy travel.

I believe New Mex and NMSU play two OOC games a year as well
