South Dakota (3/14/18)

Who is this team I am watching? And where has Duffy and Mike Miller been all year?

BillySee58 · March 15, 2018

Man, if only Duffy could've been healthy all year. His ability to shoot and take guys off the dribble is a really good compliment to Woolridge and Smart. Good thing we get him back next year!

But 10,000 is what we have now and who can remember the last time we came close to filling it? We have a largely unengaged base. I just want us to have a home court advantage. I did a quick scan. We only have 12 crowds in our history of 7,000 or more.

The super pit is not a basketball stadium it is multipurpose school facility.

Same team. USD has no energy and can't hit their open 3s.

Miller playing lights out and the whole team just looks hungry. USD looks sloppy and tired and the fans are not into the game at all. Keep it up Mean Green!

This team is so weird. Completely fell off at the end of the season. I don't believe South Dakota was overhyped whatsoever. I think it's just the Coyotes not wanting to be here and the Mean Green ballers just thankful for another opportunity.

I'd prefer to see what our current AD and student base (38K+) does when we have some success and don't immediately flush it down the toilet 2 years later.

Holding Mooney to just 8 points is huge. Great defense.

Do you want to play basketball or go party for spring break? I know what USD picked.

UNTLifer · March 15, 2018

Sssshhhhhh! No commemts until after the game.

Playing really well! Miller is showing why he was highly touted out of JUCO. I find it odd they would not give Temara the trip and let the senior play a few more minutes, but I get the point of trying to give the core guys next season more time together.

Temara had already graduated and he chose to leave as soon as CUSA tourney was over and try his hand at pro ball overseas. That is why he is not on this trip.

2 years? Wasn't it the first game?

greenminer · March 15, 2018

I did not expect this AT ALL lol

Man, he might miss out on a couple special games.

Yes. I heard he wants to make his national team

greenminer · March 15, 2018

Both teams in the bonus.

My brutally honest opinion, Lawson has been hindering this team offensively all season. We're seeing Mccasland trying out Duffy as the third guard, and he has already offered two JUCO players to compete/fill that spot next season.

I think Lawson can still add value to this team, but it would be off the bench and with a much lower usage rate on offense.

Yep. They've went 4 guards and Zach most of the night. Brings a much better offense to the floor. No Temara, limited AJ. I think Lawson had tremendous potential but hasn't been able to put it together to help the team all year.

NT 75 ------- USD 56

6:10 to go

I actually think part of the reason we're playing so well is this is not a league game. It seemed like the other teams in CUSA were starting to figure us out, but these guys have never seen us before.
