Keenan Henderson Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 UND is starting to figure things out and has averaged 83 points in their last three wins. I would expect them to put up a good fight tonight as they are a big underdog and really have nothing to lose. ORU just has too many weapons and should win by 85-75.

ORUTerry Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 UND is a very young team that shoots a lot of three pointers. We need to guard the perimeter and not let them get comfortable or go on a streak. They have won their last three games - two at home. Typically they are not a good team on the road, but opponents seem to really like playing at the Mabee Center. I hope we gain separation during the game and can coast to victory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKC Eagle Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 So a 3-game win streak averaging 83 ppg is supposed to worry me? That was at South Dakota and home against Denver and Omaha. I'm not buying it. We beat them by 12 at their place. Looks like we are +19 on the betting line with o/u of 156.5. I'll take ORU and the over (although our defense could keep it under). ORU 92-65. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKC Eagle Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Some intelligent banter on the ND forum. https://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/34805-und-4-10-10-17-oru-14-0-23-4-7-pm-216/ I like this comment from sioux24/7: "To me it all depends on how long ORU plays with their food. That’s been a common occurrence for them in the first half and just absolutely turning it on in the second half. Maybe they get caught playing with their food just a little too long tonight."

theeagleman5 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 UND may score 83 but Good Guys will score a lot more......ORU is going to KICK A$$......end of discussion.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cornelius Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 -19 is such a huge number I have a hard time picking the guys to cover BUT they certainly are capable. I hope to see a double digit win with all starters sitting late and Williams, Amboree, etc getting minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theeagleman5 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 How can we blow a 20+ point lead in the 2nd half?....TheEagleman hasn't been watching but this is ridiculous....very concerning at home vs. a bottom feeder like UND....

theeagleman5 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Well that was scary....two chances at the end for UND to tie but the shots didn't fall.....TheEagleman saw the 49-27 score at half and figured it was in the bag.....couldn't have been more wrong....a 34-8 run by UND gets them back in the game......can't wait to hear from the boys in attendence.....but yeah a win is a win and ORU is the #1 seed.....we will have to take it.....hope we play better vs. NDSU on Saturday Night.....

Eaglefan 21 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I’ll be interested to hear what the people in the arena saw but it looked like UND was hitting tough shots all night. Also seemed like the good guys couldn’t buy a basket. Max missed several three point shots that were open. Also, could have used a little more Carlos in the 2nd half, there was no answer for him in the first half. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
