71-49 final

This has to be a boost in confidence for the team; especially with the South Dakota teams up next. Have to at least get a split with them.
Looks like both us and the Rabbits have a bit of a spark going into our pre-Frisco matchup next Thursday
Also the F'N Hawks still suck.
NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.
Fun win! I hope it’s the momentum the team needs to turn the season around. Grant looked a notch above, as usual, and White hitting a few buckets early set the tone. Although I think the margin of the win was mostly due to und not hitting any shots whatsoever. It was nice seeing und give up with under 10 minutes to go…at home!
If Sather gets fired, would Saul apply?
If he wants to be miserable, then yes. He's getting a pretty clear look at what happens when you leave Northern (a very, very good D2 job) for UND (possibly one of the 10-15 worst jobs in Division I). I haven't looked it up, but I wouldn't be shocked if the salaries are comparable, and you have the potential to win the NSIC every year at Northern. It'll be a miracle if UND ever wins the Summit, even with the other Dakota schools having a down year, as this season would attest to.
If Saul leaves Northern, I'm willing to bet it'll be for a job where he can actually win.
Then again, D1 is D1. Maybe Saul is in the "anything D1 is better than good/great D2" camp and would jump at the opportunity. But I doubt it.
Sather isn’t the problem
Do the math
Then factor in the TP …
What are the chances Richman was playing 4D chess by intentionally having his team play like trash the entire season up until the UND game just so his 1-11 team could embarrass those Fhawkers at home???
UND didn't look much different from Waldorf or Crown College...
