Leave it to basketball…

To put a damper on the day🥴😡🏀

Will the team make a tic tok dogging the old guys for saying comments for losing?

Gawd I hope so. If there’s one thing we all need more of, it’s 19 year olds making tic tok videos... #CantWait

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Still lots of time left. At least Witcher showed up

 

[spartanhusker]

How can you take nights off??? Fred is the king of arrested momentum

 

[TampaBaySkers]

One of those games where the bench can get us the W

 

[cubsker]

Pretty sure the game isn't over yet.

 

[BetterRed]

I never looked at the time of this game and was looking for it at 7. How are they losing to ND?

 

[mgbreis]

Neat fact, Hoiberg managed to lose to these fools in ‘19. They may pull this out but what a lackluster performance. They are sucking hard right now.

 

[Harry Caray]

North Dakota almost has as many points already at halftime as K-State had the entire game Sunday.

Mast is out with an injury. He's been the glue so far this year.

Mast is out for the next several weeks? Are you kidding me? With Keita also injured, the only two legit bigs are out. NU basketball is truly jinxed.

They said 7-10 days, not several weeks.

Weeks? Well being a bubble team was fun while it lasted

 

[spartanhusker]

Here’s your deal… get more than two bigs

 

[MargotDeeper]

Who said? Anybody have a detailed article on the affliction?

Fun fact: Hoiberg played Mast every minute of the K State but the last 3 minutes.....despite a double digit lead for most of the 2nd half. Over use much, Fred?

ESPN gives UND a 50.5% chance of winning currently

Pavelka said on pregame show that they cleaned up some cartilage. Ten days to two weeks.

 

[mgbreis]

This is what we look like when we shoot terrible. Gary better stay healthy.

 

[cubsker]

We're at 35 percent from 3...not that bad. Just have to rebound better.

 

[cubsker]

24-9 this half, nice run.

 

[TarheelHuskerFan]

Rebounding has been bad this game but the team hasn’t looked bad overall

 

[mgbreis]

To be fair, can't really underestimate how much adjustment is taking place without Mast. I'll take the W any way we can get it, but it's not pretty.

 

[mgbreis]

Gary is fun to watch!

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Good second half bounce back.. take the W and move on

 

[spartanhusker]

Ok I apologize!!!😂😂😂😂

That was the least effort I have ever seen exerted by a D 1 team in the first half. Got to watch it live! 🙄

Experimented with rotations. Not super happy about the performance, but they got the win & minutes for some lesser used players. Still on track for an NCAA berth.

 

[TarheelHuskerFan]

The first half of this thread is full of overreactions. Y’all need to chill lol

 

[cubsker]

Not all that surprising to have a slow start playing a no name team after a few big games.

Win one more, be 11-2, and then it's big boy time.

I think Allick was out against KState. Keita unlikely to play any minutes this season. So no other big guys to sub in. NU doesn’t have the luxury of sitting Mask very often. All teams play their starters until about 2-3 minutes left in games.

He played some, not much though.

I just wish that, in the first half, they would have experimented with "defense" and "rebounding". I figured we'd eventually win...just didn't expect a snoozer for output in the first half. Mast's return after the surgery will be welcome. 👍

 

[HankMoody78]

Agree. Seems since the Minnesota meltdown they've put defense and rebounding as the second half focus. Let the chips fall in the 1st half. I'm not totally against that mindset at this point in the season.

UND has a DUDE and they’re always a pretty well coached team. The Dakota basketball schools can catch people sleeping if you’re not careful. They’ve done it to MN, IA and ISU in recent years.

Was listening on the radio tonight. I didn’t catch it if they put Diop in but he will need to play more. He didn’t do too bad vs. Michigan State

To my knowledge Allick was available vs. K-state unless you have a link that says different.

"

Without a break? Mast played 37 minutes.

...and you didn't even recognize the fact we were blowing the sCats out w/ 10 minutes left. Why do we need to be at full strength during a blowout? Hoiberg can be an idiot at times and this was one of them.
