All right, boys, let's go win ourselves a tournament.
I watched the last 10 minutes of TAMUCC/NDSU to see what we're
up against. My overall thoughts? Meh. They were all right, I
guess. I thought TAMUCC defended us well and they gave NDSU
trouble as well.
For the Bison, I'm not terribly worried about any one particular
individual. Maybe Shahid? He's a compact guard whose shiftiness
allows him to get into the paint to distribute or score himself.
And he can shoot it – better than 36 percent from three last
year. Good player but containable I think. Size-wise, Foreman
makes sense for him. Of the game footage that I've seen the last
two days, I feel like our perimeter defense combined with Gueye
and Otchere (hopefully) guarding the paint make it tough on him.
Ward's their leading scorer but seems like a blue-collar kind of
kid. Not a terrific shooter but a gamer.
Leave that to Samuelson (.462 from three last year), Cameron
Hunter (.400) and even the big guy Kreuser (team-best .421 this
year). Without seeing NDSU, I'm guessing you'd guess they can
shoot it from deep. Well, they certainly aren't afraid to – 47
percent of their shot attempts last year; 45 percent this year.
The conversion rate is down this fall though – just 32 percent
even with a win over Mayville State included – but give it time
as pretty much all five guys on the court can and will shoot it
from deep. We've defended shooters well of late, including
holding them to a paltry .300 make rate on threes last year.
This year hasn't quite matched that, but I like what I've seen
the last couple days. Sell out to defend the perimeter.
Inevitably, we'll get into a shooting contest with them, but we
should feel confident going to the hole. Their on-ball defense
wasn't anything special, I thought the help came late, and there
isn't a big-time defender at the rim. I'm still waiting for
somebody to penetrate, draw a big, and slip a nice dish to Gueye
or Otchere for an easy dunk.
Let's not forget that pretty much of all of these guys helped
NDSU win a first four game over North Carolina A&T in last
year's NCAA Tournament, and they hung with Duke for a half until
Zion and Co. picked up their game to start the second half. It's
a battle-tested group.
Interesting nugget: not a single player on North Dakota State is
from North Dakota. UND has two. I know it's not exactly fertile
ground for basketball talent, but still, nobody?
A noteworthy stat: NDSU has shot 105 free throws to their
opponents' 52. And this is a three-point shooting team. But
Shahid and Ward have shown a propensity for getting to the line,
and they're shooting over 77 percent from the stripe as a team.
A much less noteworthy stat: If we win this game, we'd get to
3-3 all-time in the state of Texas. It would become only the
fifth state in our Division I history in which we have a .500
record or better (2 game minimum), joining New York (200-152),
Maryland (16-12), Maine (10-7) and Michigan (2-2). Right now,
we're sub .500 in 14 states as well as DC.
LFG.

I remember this team in last year’s tournament; they were solid.
Sounds like a tough game for us, but if we can play solid
perimeter D and attack the hole with our bigs, we have a shot.
I’m a Yankees fan, not a Mets fan, but what the hell.....LFG!

We'd have no chance in hell against NDSU in football, so I'm all
for picking this one up as a moral victory. I say we get it done
and get the W tomorrow.

Laying an egg so far. They drive and make the layup or get
fouled. We drive and clank it off the rim.

Very uneven 1st half, except for Elijah’s play. Jeff hasn’t
learned anything about staying on court. TSM very unimpressive
performance with 1st extended play. Garcia with silly
frustration 2nd personal. We’ll see what we’ve got in 2nd half.
Frustrated with transmission. I cast to my TV, but losing
transmission, and when I restart goes to beginning of game. Only
watching on phone now.

All one on one today. No flow to the offense.
