Losing a coach due to success is a bad thing? Lol

You’re right, has worked out horribly for our FB program

thank you! and I dont care about the 100 wins vs #200 programs, his 20 wins vs #100 programs and 1 win vs sub 100. (or a power 5 program at least)

Glad we have won the summit over Omaha & Und recently, but NDSU's basketball program should have higher aspirations!

I wonder who was responsible for bringing those kids in? Hmmm

Dave’s best teams were with Saul’s guys. He’s continuing to win in a bad conference.

It is what it is, I love that Dave’s an NDSU guy but the summit has really fallen off and we’ve naturally risen to the top being one of three programs left that gives a damn about its athletic department.

Which 3???

I’ll guess Oral Roberts cares about basketball again......

Did you not like last year’s Bison team??? (25-8, 13-3)
How many of those players were Saul’s???

So, are you saying next year’s Bison team will fall off???
Could be one of Dave’s best teams......

Roy Williams retired. Richman won't be around much longer.

yea sit in mediocrity instead of shooting for the stars. classic ndsu .

So which is it???
Real mediocrity would be not getting the 100 wins
and not winning the Summit League.

You just contradicted yourself
Chapo versus Chapo :

[El_Chapo]

omg. winning the summit over omaha/und is not a big accomplishment (sdsu knocked out early)

and if you can't see the ZERO power 5 wins in 7 years, then I can't help you.

So we are making progress here,

We’ve gone from your NDSU mediocrity bluster
To your not caring about NDSU’s 100 wins and Summit titles
And when that didn’t work,
now you shift targets over to power 5 wins.
Got it!!!

The three D1 Dakota schools.

What seed in the tourney would we have been last year? 14?

Our best team in 8 years needs to be better than that. We should have a team similar to that every year. SDSU does and has very similar resources.

We used to have teams around the 120 spot or better in the country every year while recruiting and playing in the BSA.

Last year’s 25-8 team was at 109 RPI, so better than that 120 spot you mention.
That team was Richman’s 2nd best according to RPI.
So Next year, hmmm......and only 2 seasons in between......
Would the 25-8 team have been a #14 seed, maybe, sounds right. I don’t know where to quickly look that up.
I have seen upsets happen in the NCAA’s, and quite common to the upset is a team with a dominant PG.
NDSU had Vinnie. And Tyson as a Point Forward. I would have liked to see that team get a chance. Coach Richman had them positioned for that chance......Summit League Tournament Champs.
If Vinnie & the team had a good game shooting from 3 land, ya never know.
Oral Roberts was a 15 seed......

If NDSU had won a 2-3 more of their winnable games during last year’s regular season, well, there you go. So I understand what you are saying about getting a better seed. Now that ORU won a couple NCAA games, adding to NDSU’s 2 wins, the opportunity is there. The Summit needs to improve their ranking back to the high teens low 20’s. In a normal year that could be next season. With Covid plus new transfer rules, yikes!

For El Chapo, he really needs to get on the bandwagon for Richman for next season.
If, a big if, the Bison break through and get milestone victories, possibly including in the NCAA, Coach Richman can get hired away to a MAC or MVC or MW type job. That would fulfill Chapo’s fantasy. Finally rid of Dave!!!

I’ll be sad to see him go, if that happens. I think he has improved as a coach.
I also think he has improved his bench of assistant coaches.
I also think Recruiting has been good. To me the future has promise......
