We punched our 🎟️ to the state tournament to be held in Bismarck next week! We had a total team effort today!!

Great start to the season as we picked up a 77-71 road win against a gritty West Fargo Packer team!! We have a quick turnaround tomorrow against the Horace Hawks!! @LukeGambleTV @jdspn_radio @NDScores @WDAsports

The biggest excuse from parents is "The coach took away my son's/daughter's confidence." Confidence can neither be taken nor given. Players earn the right to be confident by the work they put in on their own. Get them a hoop and a ball, not excuses.#coachingdevotionals

@MLB @barstoolsports @stoolpresidente

Anybody else find this weird… games not over yet but AI said that The Dodgers won game 7…

Verse of the day! Find your peace today. Phil 4:6-7 “Don’t worry about anything, instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. “Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.”

In Colossians, Paul starts off saying “We always pray for you” (vs.3)… I was just thinking of trying to let people know that I was praying and thinking of them. Because I know if someone said that to me, I think it would make me feel happy and encourage me.

@CollinRugg @stephenasmith Why is this beneath the president? Why does SA think the sports world should be untouched and left alone? ITS SIMPLE: Don’t do anything illegal and you won’t have to worry about things like this. These guys get paid MILLIONS to play a game. How much is enough?

NEW: While speaking between dramatic pauses, Stephen A. Smith issues dire warning for what he thinks is going to happen to sports this next year. Smith says Trump is coming for everyone, including the "marvelous" women of the WNBA. "I don't know if we have ever in our lifetime been in the midst of a sports environment like the one we are going to be forced to embrace over the next year."

On one hand it’s super hypocritical to speak against it and say it’s wrong, but then go get a G league player… on the other hand… it’s allowed… and if they don’t do it someone else will... and it could cost them their jobs. How’d we get here?! @NCAA

I feel so conflicted with what’s happening in the NCAA. Teams are now allowed to go and get guys from the G-League… which is insane. But then you have coaches who speak out against it, yet go get G-League guys.

@SethOnHoops I agree…. But he’s trying to sign a player who’s been in the G-League….

💯 we have lost our way and the people that will be hurt in the end are the young people that are getting cheated of fulfilling their potential as people.

@ChrisYBaldwin lol I guess rules are rules… but it’s funny to me that he’s speaking out against the direction if basketball, yet goes out and tries to sign a G league player… great job being a “guardian.”

Houston coach Kelvin Sampson on state of the game: "We're still in an educational institution, but there is nothing educational about college basketball right now. It's all transactional. And we all put our heads in the sand." Sampson, Tom Izzo + John Calipari are speaking out."

We have generally lost the plot of what college and the G-League were for. If you chose to go to the G-League and didn’t turn that into an NBA spot & NBA money, you probably aren’t good enough to earn that. You shouldn’t then be allowed to take $ & opportunities from someone who made the smart choice out of HS and went to college.

"To me, it's ridiculous. To me, it's embarrassing." Tom Izzo's thoughts on Louisville signing a player with multiple years of G League experience. Question via @chrissolari @wilxTV

IMO, many people forget that the whole point of going to heaven is to be with Jesus. Heaven is going to be awesome, but it wouldn’t be the same without the man who laid his life down for ours and made it possible for us to be with our creator. Don’t lose sight of JESUS!

Why do people want to go to heaven? Is the whole point of Christianity just to try to get to heaven? Or is it getting to heaven so that we can spend eternity with Jesus?
