Conference tourney thoughts- before during and afterward

[1993bison]

More salt in the wound. The Jacks and now the F'ing Hawks in the dance. Just sickening. Our team/staff better get their shit together. Enough excuses from the insiders. This season was a failure imho just because of the way we closed out the season. Watch the effort and body language in our 2nd game against the Jacks compared to the last few games.

Turning this around starts by competing in one of the other tourneys like the CIT, CBI, or Vegas tournaments. All we heard all year from Richman was self admitted excuses how young and inexperienced this team was. What better way to build your program and gain experience. You want your players to have the will and mental toughness to want to compete every opportunity they get why wouldn't the coach and administration have this same mindset. If they don't complete in one of these they are just talking out of the side of their mouth and I don't ever want to hear that excuse every again. I don't want to hear the pay to play bs either. A lot of teams with far less resources are playing in these things and you cant put a price on experience and developing a program.

NDSU's season is done. They are not going to a postseason tourney. Too expensive for a meaningless tournament. Didn't UND pay like 20k last year to have a thousand fans at a CIT game at home?!

I believe it was $35,000. I could be wrong though.

For the cost I disagree. 1 or 2 games more isnt going to change a thing. Sometimes taking a break for a while can be just as helpful as "playing more games"

We know you love Rosie.

As much as I'd like to see them play I agree that sometimes time away can be just as good. Dex is on vacation in Denver right now and Tyson is at home in Tampa so I'm assuming we are for sure out as stated above.

Also why they need to get rid of all football bowl games with the exception of playoffs. Why someone would want to watch a game for 7th place in the nation is beyond me.

The NIT should expand and these other tournaments should just die.
