Only games that matter are in March at Summit Tourney, come on guys Richman has been saying that for years. When will you guys buy into his plan. We can go 3-whatever and still make the dance. You know how scared some teams will be with a team on a three game winning streak coming in. They are peaking at the right time. A team you do not want to face.

My boss hates it when I shorten his name to Dick, mainly because his name is Steven.
This is where I'm at. Richman has done well at developing teams throughout the season. This year's team is extremely young with some obvious holes at PG. The offense has been painful to watch but that's nothing new and even more understandable this year with so much scoring graduated from last year.
For me NDSU basketball is a completely different feel as a fan compared to football. It would be nice to be able to expect reloading and dominance year after year, but I've accepted that's just not feasible. The reward as a fan has been watching teams develop throughout the seasons and pull it together for the tournament runs. Brings and entire different level of interest as a fan.
This year's team is interesting with the amount of length they have. If only someone would emerge as a threat at creating their own offense off the dribble, I think it would really open up the offense.
Haters gonna hate though. It's like this every year.
