Our games against UND this season:

@ Grand Forks: W 80-50
@ Vermillion:---W 87-54
@ Sioux Falls:--W 79-57? (Massey prediction)

I wasn't able to watch the UND-Denver game, but I understand that Denver led for most of the game, then went cold for the end, and UND was able to come back in the 4th Q, really laying it on in the final minutes.

Past match-ups have been rock-fight foul fests, but I liked the Coyotes' ability to limit our own fouling in the latest game.  The only thing that worries me here is if the game is called more loosely, will UND be able to take advantage with physicality?  If that happens, I hope Dawn is able to adjust our play as well.  Our girls are no "shrinking violets" when it comes to playing physical.

Plus, our depth advantage can come into play if the foul totals climb.

I am very okay with facing UND instead of Denver. I just can't see this one being a challenge.

[Yotes]

Giving this more thought, I'm concerned that a rough game with UND is going to leave us worse off in the final. The first two games were ridiculously physical and I don't care to see another one.

This one is tighter than expected at half. Looks like UND outscored us in the 2nd quarter. Hopefully we can create some separation in the 3rd, I don't want to be sweating this one out in the 4th.

Two assists to ten turnovers. Just not the kind of basketball you want to be playing right now. Move the ball, ladies.

I'm hoping this one is getting out the cobwebs. If we play like this tomorrow, it won't look great.

Looks like they are trying to take Hannah out of the game. Earlier they gave her a bloody nose (was not deemed flagrant), then Morton just pile-drived her with two hands (was not deemed a flagrant)....

[kiyoat]

7 players with 4 fouls with 6 minutes left.

Totaly disagree. Our ladies basically gave UND the middle finger and beat them at their own game. Why...because we can; that's why!

[Men's League Waterboy]

Disagree all you want. The 'Yotes come out with that kind of effort and attention to detail in the first half tomorrow they'll be down 25 at the half.

Too soon...

[Men's League Waterboy]

Fair enough. I don't think there's much reason to be concerned about focus and effort tomorrow. Both teams know they're going to need to be all the way locked in.

Great job Lady Yotes handling a tough physical game! Be hungry!!
