What's special is the great tradition in our program. To be in the same fraternity as Dave Gunther - and surpass him - is simply great.
He has this position open and he inquired if I would be interested. That's as far as it's at.
When they made their run at us, Evan hit some big shots.
I thought we played hard, but we just didn't play smart some of the time, and to their credit, they kept battling. They played with a lot of heart, and they just kind of wore us down. We're not offensive linemen. We're more like wide receivers. Duluth has some offensive linemen.
Our young guys don't even know what they're getting into with the conference schedule. With the more physical players we'll see now, we could get overpowered inside.
Somehow, they've got our number. Our record against South Dakota hasn't been very good. It's been frustrating for me, personally. We'd like to think we're due.
We finally made some shots. When you make your shots, it makes all the difference in the world.
We had a ton of looks at the basket throughout the night, but we couldn't make them.
We show a little life, then we backtrack. We're so inconsistent. We don't have enough talent to cover up for our mistakes. We need to play smart every possession.
We need to get our returning guys better and we have to recruit players who will make us better. Hopefully, we can add pieces to the puzzle to this group.
We didn't make enough plays. That's been the scenario of our season.
Credit Minot. They came here to compete and won the basketball game. I felt they wanted it more than we did. We showed a little life. Then, all of a sudden, we backtracked.
I've put a lot of thought into this whole issue.
North Dakota is not an easy place to win basketball games. I was proud to carry on from Dave Gunther and proud that we did it the right way.
All of our guys have all had their moments. We just need more of them having their moments at the same time. Right now, we don't have that edge, that emotion, you need to be successful.
It was critical for us to win a game. Our seniors, Evan, Adam and Caro all played well. It was good our seniors could go out with a win.
It's disappointing to lose to an in-state school. But that's the facts of life right now. We had some guys who just didn't show up. When we have guys who don't show up, we're going to struggle.
It was kind of a proud day, having Mac go to Iowa State and Ben getting the Northern Iowa job. They got their tutoring here. But, on the flip side, I'm proud of what they've done.
Not being 'the guy' doesn't bother me. I can do what I really love to do, which is coach the game.
I feel I needed to look at this opportunity at this point and time in my career. If offered the job, I'll have to make a quick decision.
