Men's Basketball Updates 2013-2014

[bonarae]

Post any significant updates (injuries, final score updates, coaching changes, etc.) regarding your men's basketball team here.

Harvard is now 1-0 on the young season. Score against Holy Cross is 82-72 not 80-74 posted in another thread.

[Twentysix]

Curbstomped 2 DIII teams... no real news yet.

1-0

[UNDBIZ]

No games yet, but North Dakota's starting senior center Brekke is likely done with career-ending concussion issues. Unfortunate for him and could cause problems for what looked like a team with a good chance to make the dance this year.

[bonarae]

Harvard flat-out dominated D-III MIT, 79-37. On to face Howard, still at home, on Friday.

[Twentysix]

NDSU takes on Saint Mary's (SMC) tomorrow. Mid Major #6 @ #19.

[darell1976]

UND hosts Minnesota-Morris in their season opener. Time to get this season going...we have a Dance to get go.

[Twentysix]

Looks like its quite the game

26-60 at half.

[darell1976]

UND crushes Minnesota-Morris 110-69 to go to 1-0. Next up at Wisconsin next Tuesday.

[TheRevSFA]

SFA defeats Texas State in San Marcos 64-57. It was an emotional win for the Jacks as former coach Danny Kaspar left SFA for Texas State in the offseason. Kaspar coached at SFA for over a decade

disappointing, i was hoping to see some BSC tourney in grand forks, it's going to be much tougher now.

[Twentysix]

All set, paid SMC so I can watch the game tonight... it doesn't start till 10:30.......

I need to remember to cancel their service because its one of those ****ty auto renewal ones.

[bonarae]

Harvard thrashed Howard 76-44. The last home game for November is on Wednesday against Bryant.

[Twentysix]

Lost to SMC days ago.

Tommorow we play So Miss in Fargo.

NDSU fell to Southern Miss by one last night in Fargo 69-70.

[darell1976]

UND plays at Wisconsin tonight at 7pm CT on Big 10 Network.

[Twentysix]

UND should win, it will help our RPI.

ESPN has 22-22.

Radio says 45-30 Wisconsin up 15.

[darell1976]

UND loses to Wisconsin 103-85. Next up....North Dakota State at home Sunday afternoon.

You let me down darrel. On the other hand, it probably means NDSU can win.

I think the Bison better not overlook Western Michigan or they could be 1-3 going into a hostile environment. No more half empty arena..this place will be packed.

[Catatonic]

ACU has been humiliated by a number of really good teams en route to an 0-5 start, topped by a 60 plus point curb stomping by Iowa. The highlight of our season thus far has been a half time lead over Maryland. Xavier looms straight ahead. Our Sagarin SOS is 38th and we are ranked 350 of 351.

I hope we are being paid big bucks to play these teams.

[lquarles]

How does Harvard look this year?

[bonarae]

Harvard is a loaded team. Amaker has been playing 8-10 players per game (out of 19), of which majority are either upperclassmen (juniors or seniors) or a March hero last season (Chambers, only a sophomore). Endosomwan has been playing limited minutes so far.

Meanwhile, we stomped Bryant to close Lavietes until a few days before Christmas, 86-68. We are off until Sunday, when we will play the Buffs in Boulder. Then it's off to Alaska for the Thanksgiving weekend, and we'll face Denver in the first game. All will be on national cable channels (the Colorado game on ESPNU, the Alaska games on CBS Sports Network.)

[darell1976]

http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/rpi

Current RPI, its funny to see what teams are at the top this early. I know its not going to stay this way, but fun to look at.

NDSU #27, Northern Colorado #19, UND #341. Only DI games are counted.

[WH49er]

Charlotte takes Kansas State 68-61 in the first round of the PR Tipoff. Plays the winner of Georgetown/Northeastern tomorrow.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Temple lost to Clemson 72-58 last night in the first round of the Charleston Classic. The Owls were able to bounce back with a 83-81 win over Georgia tonight. The Owls are 2-3...

[bonarae]

Ugh. Colorado used a strong second half to tumble the Crimson. 70-62. A top-100 win that was supposed to be good for high Dance seeding consideration was wasted (we led by 12 at the half). xsmhx xnonono2x

It's off to Alaska to face another Colorado team in Denver in the first game on Thanksgiving.

Bison beat Santa Clara 91-85.

Taylor Braun goes 19 for 19 from the foul line...breaking the school record for most consecutive free throws made and tying the percentage record.

[bonarae]

Harvard continued its dominance in Alaska, putting away Green Bay 76-64. We'll face TCU in the championship tomorrow.

19-19 that's impressive. With the new foul rules you need guys that can shoot FT.

I don't think I will attend many if any games this season because of that.... I'd rather watch on TV. It's like there are 50 TV timeouts anyway.

Can't tell if NDSU is playing better ball or if Santa Clara and Rider were really weak compared to UND.

[bonarae]

Harvard wins the Great Alaska Shootout with a 71-50 blowout of TCU. Two more games back in the Boston area against ex-FCS teams (Northeastern on Wednesday and Boston U on Saturday) then it's off for the finals break. xcoffeex

While Harvard is off for the finals from the 8th to the 20th, what teams should I follow their bandwagon? I prefer mid-majors and low-majors. xchinscratchx

UND hosts Presentation College on the 15th and South Dakota State on the 21st before opening conference play at Northern Colorado on Dec 29th. If UND doesn't learn how to win on the road this team is done.

Just like top programs play cupcakes, these are ours. Not saying I like it, but I know it is easy to point a finger at Minnesota, but many teams do it to inflate their record before conference play, that way if the play .500 they have enough win to likely be at least a bubble team and squeak in. It kinda forces everyone else's hand, and for teams like NDSU/UND you have to have to win your conference or have a completely amazing record if you didn't win your conference and hope for a play in game just to get bounced right away. It isn't always fair, but the way it is with that many DI teams at the same level.

UND needs a 3 game series with ALL Dakota schools (we didn't play the Yotes this season), plus more time with hockey schools Denver and Omaha, I believe UND plays Omaha next year. I would like to see NDSU get a tournament once their new building is done, with NDSU, UND, maybe UNI, and Montana it would be a good northern tourny.

They also have a 3 point loss @ UNLV who isn't horrible this year.

These games are about getting HOME GAMES. All the Dakotas, and IIRC, the whole Summit league had 4 of these awful games. Heck, counted for the D-I teams, but were exhibitions/non-counters for the lower level teams. Until the 4 Dakotas can work together to get a Thur/Sat Nov/Dec for a pair of visiting schools, it's a complete b*tch getting ANYBODY to play in the upper midwest. Constantly on the back end of home/home arrangements. We'll see if MoValley or Big East (looking at Creighton) will come to Frost for some games.

Jacks WBB has been successful at getting some great programs to play in Brookings. MBB, can't get any programs to come visit. An occasional MAC, OVC, WAC and Southland. But I believe MWC (Nevada) is the highest RPI conference to play MBB in Frost.

I think NDSU got a 2 for 1 just to get Southern Miss up. I hope it doesn't take that just to get teams up here. Maybe UND needs to play the Dakota 3 twice in the same season, that would be six OOC for us but it's only 2 OOC game for you guys.

Harvard is leading UConn in Storrs by 6 late in the first half. What is the Crimson's ceiling this year in your opinion? Now that football is over I'm starting to expand my college hoops watching. I'm a bit surprised they are not ranked given the momentum that was carried over from last year and their current 13-1 record. Cornell was the last nationally relevant team from the IL when they made it to the Sweet 16.

Can Harvard push it to the Elite 8 or Final 4? I'd like to think a 4 or 5 seed is possible. Princeton in 97-98 was the last really good IL team. They ended up getting jobbed with a 5 seed. I'd like to think a one or two loss Harvard team could do better....

USD took down the dons!! Go yotes, making it easier on us!

NDSU beats WIU by 13.
We won't be making anything easier for you if you we keep winning! ;)

I'm feeling great about the Yotes right now though. We haven't done crap on the road this year, but starting Summit play off at 3-0 and sitting in first after only winning 5 Summit games each of our first two years is great. If this week's road trip goes well and we find a way to play on the road, we should be fighting for one of the top seeds.

I thought both teams looked pretty good. UND controlled most of the second have and was able to fight off a furious late game rush by the Bobcats. #5 (Huff?) for UND can flat-out play. His game and looks remind me of Delonte West.

The Big Sky seems pretty wide open this year....

Temple's season of misery continues tomorrow night against UConn in Storrs, CT. The Huskies have a been a bit up and down lately and can't really afford a "bad" loss...

Temple 5-11 Overall, 0-5 AAC

One thing about the BSC is if a team gets hot towards the end of the season and runs a muck through the tournament any one of the 7 can earn a trip to the dance. UND almost shocked #2 Weber State last year as they had to come from behind late to knock off UND. Should be an interesting couple of months.

That is the case for almost all of the auto-bid leagues though.

Delaware topped Drexel 90-77 in Philadelphia tonight. Next up for the Hens (13-7, 5-0 CAA), a match-up of unbeaten CAA teams, with Towson coming to Newark on Saturday.

"And we've reached a new low"....

Temple lost to UConn 90-66 tonight in snowy Hartford (not Storrs). UConn gave us too much credit by moving this game from their 10k seat on campus arena to the 18k Civic Center in Hartford. On the plus side there's a raging snow storm in the Northeast so there was only about 5k people in attendance. Still, it was a national broadcast and Doug Gottlieb was doing the game xbadx

I thought the talent level between MSU and UND was solid. Huff for UND and Davis for the Bobcats were legit BCS players imo. Some of the other guys were solid mid-major types.

What's your point? UNI basketball is better than UND...should I alert the press?

2012: UNI 72-47; 77-66 (CIT) (first year post transition)
2010: UNI 65-52 (transition from DII)
2009: UNI 64-41 (transition from DII)
2008: UNI 69-49 (transition from DII)

Does this stat make you feel better for UNI basketball, that you can crush a team that is transitioning from DII?

MVC will always be better than the BSC. We have no ranked teams you have Witchita St, most if not all of your teams in the conference are basketball schools I think Weber St is the only true basketball school in the Big Sky. If you are trying to pump your chest about beating a BSC team you are looking like a fool.

[Twentysix]

NDSU shoots 56.3% from the floor. Which should create further seperation from the #2 shooting team in the country Gonzaga. (51.4% for NDSU 51.2% for Gonzaga.) No other team in the country is shooting at 51% or better.

[Yotes]

USD, without starting PG Trey Norris, allowed UNO to play what was basically a perfect second half to lose 79-75 (I swear at one point they made five 3s in a row). Another disappointing, winless road trip, now a game behind NDSU and IPFW. At this point I'm beginning to think we may go 7-0 at home and 0-7 on the road in Summit play. Home games against the States next week, very interested to see how we stack up against NDSU.

Temple fought like hell but once again comes up short. The Owls fell to #15 Cincinnati 80-76 this afternoon in Philly. We had a chance to tie or win the game at the end by our guard's layup attempt was blocked. We've been in all but two games but can't find a way to win. At 5-13 overall and 0-7 in the conference, things are historically ugly.....

#9 Villanova is the only ranked "FCS" team. In fact, they've been the only FCS mainstay in the poll this year. Dayton and Georgetown had been ranked early in the season.

Harvard has a good shot to break in assuming they keep winning. Indiana State and Stephen F. Austin might have a shot too...
