GDT: Bison vs. Gophers

[ndsubison1]

Thought I would start this since no one else did

[ndsubison1]

Bison win tip, Gophers score first 3-0

Bison in zone

[ndsubison1]

Woodside misses wide open lay up. Not a good start so far for NDSU

5-0 Gophers after 2 FT

Gopher steal misses 3 rebound to WInkelmann, Nelson scores 5-2

[SDbison]

Thought I would start this since no one else did
What is the deal with Big Ten Network? They are showing a Tenn State vs. Indiana game that is essentially over.......past 8:00. Tenn State calls a timeout with 1:30 left when they are behind by 18 pts.....WTF?

[NDSUstudent]

Finally the game is on BTN, 2-7 Gophers.

[ndsubison1]

Woodside burys 3, tied up at 7

wish i had the BTN. Im listening on the radio

[NDSUstudent]

Woody for 3 game tied at 7

[ndsubison1]

11-7 Gophers

Poor call on Nelson

[NDSUstudent]

9-13 Gophers

[NDSUstudent]

Winks for THREEEEEE 14-13 Bison

[NDSUstudent]

Tollackson with the lay-up, foul shot coming after timeout. 14-15 Gophers.

[SDbison]

Nice! Now watching in HD on BTN. NDSU running with the Goofs! Yeah!

[ndsubison1]

16-15 Herd baby! keep it going

[NDSUstudent]

Tveidt with a sweet jumper Bison up 16-15

[ndsubison1]

travel on Westbrook, Nelson knocks an open look, like what I'm hearing right now 18-17 Bison.

Gophers come back with 3 20-18

[silkamilkamonico]

Geez. i'm sweatin' every time Moorman has the ball.

[NDSUstudent]

Geez. i'm sweatin' every time Moorman has the ball.

Yeah, its not a pretty thing to watch.

[Montana Bison]

Bison need a big man, more depth, and some quickness

[ndsubison1]

26-20 Goofs, we cant be giving up these easy 2nd chance points. We're having a tough time defending McKenzie as well.

[NDSUstudent]

Nelly is ice cold right now.

[Bison_Pride]

their shooting sounds terrible, it's painful to listen to

[ndsubison1]

their shooting sounds terrible, it's painful to listen to

agreed, they need to get it within single digits before half

[NDSUstudent]

The Bison are settling for way too many jump shots, so far its a replay from last year.

[BisBison]

what's the score?

[HoopsBison]

They need to rebound better and get back on def.

[fightinbison]

We are getting hammered....44-27....come on fellas...at the half

[NDSUstudent]

Yuck..Bison down by 17 at the half.

[X-Factor]

44-27 at the half. Gophers look like they are going to roll this one.

[HoopsBison]

Def sounds terrible and Nelly is in a total funk

[extremerouge]

wow that was some bad play at the end of the half...the gophers went for a run of something like 13-0...NDSU is having a tough time cracking the pressure...

[extremerouge]

the big ten network halftime guys just called us SOUTH dakota state...it's good we are getting that nationwide respect...

[SDbison]

Yuck..Bison down by 17 at the half.
Bison shooting sucks so far , but the Big Ten refs are letting the goof hack the crap outt of NDSU. Oh yeah, Gophers shooting the threes at will.

[Flintstone]

The last 8 minutes was pretty hard to watch. We are ice cold right now.

[X-Factor]

the big ten network halftime guys just called us SOUTH dakota state...it's good we are getting that nationwide respect...

You can't really blame them....that's how we have been playing so far in this game.

[silkamilkamonico]

I don't remember our offense being this stagnant. There just doesn't seem to be a lot of moving around. I don't know if it's the gopher defense or what but it's boring to watch.

[NDSUstudent]

Saul needs to light a fire under these guys offensively, at times the team just settles on taking way too many jump shots.

[X-Factor]

BTW
Bison are 10-30 30.0%
Gophs 16-36 44.4%

[Blue]

You can't really blame them....that's how we have been playing so far in this game.
Which South Dakota State team are you thinking of? The 6-2 Women or the 3-3 Men?;)

[NDSUstudent]

26-16 Gophers with a huge rebound edge.
Bison have 10 turnovers, Gophers have 8.

[X-Factor]

Which South Dakota State team are you thinking of? The 6-2 Women or the 3-3 Men?;)

True, Jacks seem to be playing a lot better this year. Keep it up....until you play the Bison ;)

[fightinbison]

You can't really blame them....that's how we have been playing so far in this game.

I wish we were...... SDSU beat UNI.....

[NDSUstudent]

I wish UNI would play us at home.....

[fightinbison]

I wish UNI would play us at home.....

They won't until they have to......SDSU set up a 2 for 1 ...they went to UNI last Year...this year was at Brookings....Next year back at Cedar Falls..

[Montana Bison]

No inside game, And there throwing enough BRICKS to build the new basketball arena! We need some quickness, we look SLOW!

[NDSUstudent]

Finally the team is attacking the Gophers a little bit.

[silkamilkamonico]

I'm disappointed. It looks like the guys are quitting out there at times.

[fightinbison]

We cut it to 13...now at 24

[extremerouge]

dont want to be a downer, but this is on the verge of embarrassment...

[silkamilkamonico]

dont want to be a downer, but this is on the verge of embarrassment...

I agree.

I understand the Gophers are going to be a lot better under Tubby, but you really have to wonder just how important Andre was to the team the last couple of years.

[NDSUstudent]

This is pathetic.

[extremerouge]

you can really tell the difference in speed...

[79FCourt]

Andre was huge for this team. An inside presence is absolutely necessary and without it, our big three, no matter how good they are, will struggle. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this can be remedied through coaching/practice. We simply don't have the talent inside to compete. Saul and Co. need to find an impact big man somewhere for a run next year.

[fightinbison]

Tim Miles brings in CSU to Minny next, then up to Fargo for the Big Game....

[extremerouge]

i wonder if playing the DAC schools and such have hurt us at all...a DAC school vs this gopher team is a large change in spped...i know when i played against weaker teams, there were possibilities of picking up bad habits and playing at a slower pace...

[heckler]

This is embarassing there is no way we should be killed by this much. Thanks coach for preparing our guys.

[extremerouge]

This is embarassing there is no way we should be killed by this much. Thanks coach for preparing our guys.
there is a major difference in athletic ability..i don't think it can fall squarely on Saul's shoulders

[extremerouge]

when your three main scorers are a combined 10-31...

[NDSUstudent]

there is a major difference in athletic ability..i don't think it can fall squarely on Saul's shoulders

This game was embarrassing. This team lost to Florida by 10, Florida is an athletic team. The team lost all of their composure after the Gophers went on that run.

[79FCourt]

Tough for the big three to be great when that's all you have.

[BisonDouglas]

Getting pounded. Lack of bench extremely evident. Lots of work to do...

[extremerouge]

Tough for the big three to be great when that's all you have.
it was a bad game overall, but i dont think the big three can be excluded from that...you gotta make baskets to win games...if the guys you count on to do that aren't its gonna be a tough game...

[NDSUstudent]

It should be interesting to see how the team responds against ORU. That game will tell a lot about this team.

[79FCourt]

it was a bad game overall, but i dont think the big three can be excluded from that...you gotta make baskets to win games...if the guys you count on to do that aren't its gonna be a tough game...

But, when a team can key on your big three because there is no one else to step up, you can't expect those guys to succeed when they are always dealing with double teams, etc. We need help inside to open things up for Woody, Nelson and Winks.

[heckler]

I just want to win against a good team this year. At least with Miles you knew you could.

[TheDoctor]

I figured this would happen....well maybe not this bad though. People on here were actually predicting a Bison win. That I knew 100% was not possible with our lack of height and bench scoring. ;)

[TheDoctor]

Whats the score now or is the beating over??? ;)

[extremerouge]

the beating is over...88-56

[TheDoctor]

I am sooooooooooooooooo glad I did not make the trip to mn for that. My 10-2 AM trip home in order to teach at 8 AM would NOT have been even mildly enjoyable. ;)

[Mr_Meanor]

I think NDSU is really going to miss Miles. The team just did not look prepared tonight and it really showed. The only game where I can say the Bison played well this year was at Tennessee Tech. This team really needs to add some depth. I wish Carlson was not red shirting. We really could use him this year.

[TheDoctor]

the beating is over...88-56

Thanks....I was watching on the BTN and the announcers had nothing to say. They didn't want to insult us, but it was pathetic. With 10 to go, I left to go home and at least Scotty Miller was all over their case, saying the were so defeated that they had no emotions on their faces anymore. ;)

I agree, but the thought is save him for the seasons that matter tournament wise. ;)

You were right, that was bad.

[SDbison]

Well, I was thinking about driving up for the CSU game......not so much now.

[SDbison]

One comment: NDSU looked like a high school team against the Goofs tonight.

[Bisonguy]

Well, I was thinking about driving up for the CSU game......not so much now.

Check back in a week or so. CSU is playing the Gophers next, and they lost to Northern Colorado earlier this week.

[extremerouge]

One comment: NDSU looked like a high school team against the Goofs tonight.
yeah they were just plain bad

[fightinbison]

I think we need to give Saul a break.......Tim lost his 1st regular season game CSU at Montana by 30 some points.....?

It happens.......

[NDSUstudent]

Well the team did lose to a bad K-State team in 2005...56-82(the game was very similar to this one). Three weeks later the Bison beat a team called Wisconsin. Bad games like this do happen, how the team responds on Thurday will be telling.

[extremerouge]

im with ya here...tough to outcoach Tubby...

[heckler]

But I don't think Kstate was the biggest game of the season.

[TheDoctor]

Did you see the way Tubby was passionately riding players, refs, anyone he could find when they were up by 22??????? WOW! I think his passion has rubbed off on his boys. ;)

[NDSUstudent]

But I don't think Kstate was the biggest game of the season.

Minnesota wasn't the biggest game this year, pretty sure Florida gets that title. The team can still get one more shot at a high major in California if it gets its act togather.

[heckler]

Minnesota is still a huge game and Florida only had freshmen but I do get what everyone is saying... just thought we were better than losing by 30+... and I think we are but I hate losing to Minnesota.

[TheDoctor]

Whats worse is that MN visibly wanted it more. ;)

[BisBison]

embarrassing loss:( :( We looked totally outclassed. :smh: :smh: Every loose ball, every rebound, some shots looked like we'd never seen a ball before we were just hapless.:banghead: :banghead:

[TheDoctor]

I can't imagine that bus ride home had much to say. Could you imagine having took the TeamMakers bus? That would be even more depressing than last year. ;)

[sambini]

Its over boys and move on to ORAL ROBERTS. B1SON THERE WAS NO TEAMMAKER BUS ONLY 10 PEOPLE SIGNED UP. BOUNCE BACK BISON++

[TheDoctor]

Thats a relief.......;)

[SlickVic]

tubbeyville won the battle of the benches 41 to 7 that was the ball game...my oh my...the pressure minny applied on defense was equally incredible

[TheDoctor]

You didn't join us today Vic....were you on your way to MN?????? ;)

[99Bison]

At the game tonight... Guys looked tired from the beginning. Hung in there ok until the end of the first half when they looked really tired.

The most frustrating part was the lack of effort especially by Woody from the point he got his shot blocked at the end of the first half. You are supposed to be a leader. Why are you not hustling back after a looseball or at least to get back on defense? Both Nelson and Winks huslted back to make plays on various of these events and at least 4 times Woody just sat there and sulked. I'm not talk about with 5 minutes left in game down by 30. I am talking about the first half down by 4 or second half down by 13. That was very disappointing.

The one positive from the game is that we were consistantly working the offense and not do the chuck it up because I'm frustrated junk which gets us in big holes. Like at Florida.

I also heard the Team bus didn't get down there until 6:10 tonight. Strange way to get ready for a game.

It was actually nice to see MN play a good basketball game though.

i didnt see any constant running of the offense...the shot selection tonight was horrible aka definition of the "chuck it up"...agree that woody wasnt making the wisest decisions out there but my oh my was he being molested...moorman and susenguth looked completly lost and so did saul...anybody else see the zoom in on him earlie in the second half? he looked completly out the game...tubbyville conducted a clinic tonight im real interested to see what the gophs will do in the big 10

[bisonhusker]

Anyone want to jump on my "Juco" bandwagon? That was pathetic. We need an athletic banger. I don't care if they are 6'10, as they aren't available, but give me a 6'5 tough guy/athlete. Juco here we come. That was sad. Amazing what Tubby has done with the same group of players. Those kids had passion last night.

[TheBisonator]

Somebody mentioned playing DAC teams, and that how it may hurt us. I completely agree. Scheduling Mayville State and Minot State not only guarantees the bare minimum in attendance and fan interest, but those games may also put the team in a kind of set mood that is not up to the level of the games against the high-majors. It weakens the team, and it weakens the program's bottom line. I have no problem with finding one NSIC team every year to play at home, but wee need to cut out this Minot State and Mayville State s**t. Find an extra holiday tornament to travel to, I don't care. This DAC bulls**t needs to stop.

thank you! i think tougher competition brings out the best in players and keeps them focused

[lakesbison]

IM STILL THROWING UP.. WHAT A DISGUSTING TASTE..


THE ONLY WAY I COULD SHUT UP THE GOPHER FANS WAS TO YELL "HEY ... WE GOT 2 OPEN DATES ON THE FOOTBALL SCHEDULE NEXT YEAR... why dont you pick one and get your ass kicked AGAIN!!"

[SDbison]

IM STILL THROWING UP.. WHAT A DISGUSTING TASTE..

Funny, but true.......I was looking forward to NDSU basketball holding my interest until close to the Spring football game, but now I don't know. Actually, I didn't expect NDSU to beat Florida or Minnesota this year, but I thought one of these games might be close.

[NDSUstudent]

I was on the athletic JUCO big man bandwagon before but now I'm really on it. For now I guess Zo comes back in two games, he should help defensively but playing a team with a good big man will still be a struggle.

[99Bison]

Oh yes, JUCO tough guy needed.

Will Zo be back for the Colo St game???

[ndsubison1]

Well good thing we dont play Georgetown

[NDSUstudent]

Will Zo be back for the Colo St game???

As long as he has his grades where they need to be, he should be back.

[Swat_Team10]

I like Zo as a role guy. But do not see him as the end of our team issues.
I am concerened about the uncompetitive degree the players performed. Not the same effort we have witnessed before from this group.
