I was referring to the ladies. Not the boyz 2 men.

Doesn't matter. An 18 year old college girl is about as developed as an 18 year old college guy

20+ point loss seems to be ok and acceptable. Not just that defense gives up 90? Sheeesh

We will probably lose our last game by 20 and it won't change anyone's opinion. If it's still happening by conference play next year than we can have this discussion. Of course you're actually hoping they will suck because you seem to get joy from losing

What is your measure for success in conference next season? The reason I ask is cuz you will say the same damn thing next season. We are young and when these new freshman develop and get another year of coaching we'll be successful This team hasn't improved a lick since the season started. In fact their defense is worse than ever. They aren't getting the coaching they need. I'm sorry but its the truth. This is walseth first team as a head coach. Maybe she should have started out at a d2 d3 or naia school to get her feet wet This is too much

My expectations are to be a. 500 team in conference play and peak during the tournament. The team hasnt gotten worse. They are physically worn down and teams are adjusting. Going from a high school schedule directly to a full travel college schedule without a full off-season of training will physically wipe you out. Especially if your not used to long travel. These ladies look tired. They need to bust their ass off harder than they ever this off-season because they are obviously not in good enough shape or strong enough to hold up over a full D1 season. That's part of the reason why they make all these stupid mental mistakes. They have all the tools at their disposal. If they don't use them - the only people to blame is the players. (and Walseth for recruiting them)

With that being said let's see how hard they work this off-season.

If we don't go 500 in conference play next year I'll have some doubts about Walseth and the type of players she recruits. Well have to wait and see

They certainly haven't gotten any better from the start of the season to the end, that's a concern for me.

I will ask you again. Where do you derive your expertise? How can we take your opinion with any credibility when you do nothing more than spout off like a bar room know it all. So are you a former NDSU player? Former coach? Why you want to hide is very telling.

[Bisonionette]

So they are worse now because they're tired. Oh Goodness. That's the reason. We can dream of an 8-8 season

[Mr Meaty]

I was hoping for more improvement during the season it appears it has been minimal at best. The off-season and conditioning will go a long way toward improving. Yes Walseth is also finding her way. I have seen some in game improvement on her part from the beginning of the season. A 500 conference record would show and be a huge improvement. We are not going from 8th place team in the conference to the top dog next year. Next season the seat will get hot for Walseth sooner than later.
