tmh8286 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I've just been reading the Bisonville board. Winning tonight is a BIG DEAL to the Bison fans -someone over there said, "this is probably the biggest day in the history of history in the state of North Dakota." If they don't win tonight I'm going to feel bad for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bballmangc Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 At the risk of getting the Debbie Downer flag thrown on me, I'm not sure that Pittsburgh was that tough of a draw last year. Didn't they crap out in the second round? Washingthon St. did the same thing the year before. They will be a #1 seed this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Didn't we lose to Missouri this year? Played them closer than anyone else in Columbia this season: nine points. Without a point guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't it be a big deal? This is the year they thought they could compete. They have been planning this for 5 years. For anyone who follows NDSU basketball and their transition to D1 this should be a huge deal right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue82 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I think it will be a slugfest tonight - and am ALMOST looking forward to watching it. I think either team would represent the Summit well in the tourney, although I believe NDSU's style would give them a better shot at a first-round upset. I pick the Bison tonight in a close one, won by late-game heroics at the charity stripe 71-66. From a selfish standpoint as an ORU fan, I'd prefer a NDSU victory, simply because we all know it's a "one and done" prospect for the Bison, who will be rebuilding next year. Oakland, on the other hand, could use a win as a launching pad for next season. However, if Oakland wins, I won't be too disappointed - as I have a great deal of respect for Kampe and his program.

Bogus Smith Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Anyone want to take a stab on the attendance tonight? How many empty seats will be on the Duece tonight? Is it still predicted to snow there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes; the point I was trying to make is that I'm going to feel really bad for them if they don't win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understood it that you felt bad that they felt that way. (That's how I felt on your comment! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManiacAlum Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I think Missouri's pressure would at least make NDSU speed up and might take them out of sync. Just make sure you rotate back in a hurry, becase they WILL put up some 3's. Mizzou doesn't look like the most disciplined ball club in the world, but if they aren't a #3, then who is? People are saying that the Big East, ACC and Big Ten could possibly put in 24 teams in the tourney. There's going to be a lot of terrible major teams getting in this year because of mid-major favorites blowing it in their conference.

I THINK the storm is supposed to move into SD tonight. TODAY, in Fargo, blizzard, near white-out conditions, high winds, I-29 south not closed but under no-travel advisory. Many Bison fans that planned to drive down today have decided not to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmh8286 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Why feel bad for NDSU? Were you in the UMAC for the Mid-Con Tournament Championship in 2005? I wouldn't wish that feeling on anyone . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about this kind of weather isn't just the accumulation of snow; it's the wind. 30 mph winds (as predicted today and tonight) can make for "white out" conditions with just an inch or two of snow that make it virtually impossible to drive. The funny thing is, no one up there seems at all surprised about the weather. It's almost like they knew this could (would?) happen all along - yet invited us anyway.

True, but I thought I read somewhere yesterday that they're expecting 10-12" accumulations. I think ND people that are already in SF are concerned about being able to get back home after the game tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatloaf's advice for driving in snow.... drive 30mph with your warning lights on, while in second gear.... and its almost impossible for things to go wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
