A 93-78 victory over Augustana in the first round was the program’s first postseason victory, which was followed by a 90-58 defeat of North Dakota State. Though the Sioux lost to Cal Poly Pomona in the national quarterfinals, UND had reached a new level of expectation. UND went 150-27 over the next six years, winning three NCC titles and averaging a remarkable 25 wins per year. The two steps (compete against the best teams in the North Central Conference and win the NCC championships) of Roebuck’s plan were clearly accomplished and the groundwork was now in place for the program’s second watershed breakthrough. It came on March 9, 1997, at North Dakota State in the championship game of the NCAA Division II North Central Regional. The Sioux were in the NCAA tournament for the eighth consecutive year, and if a national championship was to be won, what better place to take the step that had not been taken before than the Bison Sports Arena? If the Sioux wanted to be the best, they would have to beat the best. NDSU was the four-time defending national champions and had won 58 straight games on its home court. Down 64-54 with six minutes to play, UND went on a nearly inconceivable 19-2 run to close out the game, moving onto the Elite Eight and moving up to Roebuck’s final step, that being national champions. That happened the following weekend at the Elite Eight that was played in Grand Forks, where the 1997 Sioux won a national championship, but did so using the groundwork laid out by the teams of the early and mid-90s. The Sioux would win two more national titles in 1998 and 1999 and advance to the 2001 national championship game. Roebuck’s athletic success began at Velva (N.D.) High School, where he earned 12 letters in football, basketball and baseball. He would go on to play both baseball and basketball at Mayville State (N.D.), where he would earn a degree in physical education and business education in 1969. While at MSU, Roebuck was a HEAD COACH GENE ROEBUCK four-year letterwinner and three-year starter in basketball. He also excelled in baseball, twice earning all-conference honors and being named to the NAIA District 12 team once. In the fall of 2000, he was inducted into the Mayville State Hall of Fame. In addition to leading the UND-Lake Region women’s basketball team to a three-year mark of 87-14, Roebuck also guided the Royal baseball team to 1985, 1986 and 1987 North Dakota state baseball championships. Roebuck was named baseball coach at North Dakota in 1990 and led the Sioux to a 99-61-1 record over four seasons. In 1993 he took UND to the Division II College World Series for the first time in school history. Roebuck resigned as baseball coach in July 1993 to concentrate solely on women’s basketball. Roebuck’s wife, Karolyn, works for the Grand Forks Public Schools system. They have one daughter, Cierra, who is a student assistant coach with the Sioux after playing the past two seasons. 5
