GDT: VCSU vs NDSU

[HoopsBison]

Alright guys its game night once again for the Bison.

3 games in 5 nights, first of is Valley City State.

They got a balanced attack for their level of play but arent a huge threat for us.

Look forward to seeing the bench a little more. Also i think this would be a great game to give Lucas several looks down low and see how he responds.

Good Luck Bison

[ndsubison1]

Great game to get the bench some PT and get them some confidence. VCSU should be a little more competitive than Mayville, but I can't wait for the USC game on Sat.!

[Herd]

It would a good night to win by 30 and send a message. But seriously, the objective should be to win, use the bench, and save some legs for Saturday.

[ndsubison1]

are they showing this on go bison? I click on it and I can only hear audio...

[ndsubison1]

n/m it's showing up now... stands looks awfully bare

[ndsubison1]

5-2 Vikings, quick start for VC

[SDbison]

There is some dumass standing at the top in front of the camera.....

[ndsubison1]

yeah i know, did you see him waving his arms during the anthem? kinda like he was directing the band LOL

[SDbison]

slow start for the Bison.......again!

[ndsubison1]

once again the old people at the scorers table screws something up... this time with the shot clock... happens every fricken game :banghead:

that really sucks........like this is some youth game at the YMCA....

[ndsubison1]

i think i just heard a pin drop in the BSA...

[ndsubison1]

9-5 Bison...

[ndsubison1]

wow VCSU throws a up a pray as the shot clock expires bounces off the top of the backboard then on the front of the rim and in... karma i guess from the banked 3 that they lost to up north

9-8 Bison

[SDbison]

Somebody makes a 3 from VCSU, ball bounces on top of the backboard and then in. I thought that is not allowed.

[ndsubison1]

VCSU holding tough.

15-14 VCSU

[SDbison]

Is the ball allowed to bounce on top of the backboard? I thought the sides and top were out?

[ndsubison1]

20-14 VCSU what the hell... :banghead:

[ndsubison1]

Is the ball allowed to bounce on top of the backboard? I thought the sides and top were out?

Top and sides are in bounds. it can bounce on top of the backboard, but if it bounces and goes over the top of it to the other side then that's out of bounds.

[ndsubison1]

20-20 now...

[SDbison]

wow, if VCSU can hang with the Bison at home just think what USC will do to NDSU in LA?

[ndsubison1]

wow, if VCSU can hang with the Bison at home just think what USC will do to NDSU in LA?

Yeah I know. I'm not looking forward to that match-up. We don't match-up well with them at all.

[ndsubison1]

23-22 VCSU. Winks to the line

[Bison101]

What the f-n hell.

[SDbison]

This game is fugly! What is the problem with the Bison?

[ndsubison1]

We're not playing with any fire and the crowd isn't helping whatsoever. 25-24 VCSU

[iHEARTthundar]

How is this game so close? shouldn't we be way ahead?

[ndsubison1]

29-25 Bison, 3 by Vaughan and lay-up by Carlson... finally

[ndsubison1]

How is this game so close? shouldn't we be way ahead?

VC's shooting well from the field and 3 point line as well. NDSU playing with no emotion right now. They're also doing a great job of limiting our chances

[ndsubison1]

37-30 NDSU at halftime... :eeek:

Time for Saul's beating at the break...

[lakesbison]

Dont worry...these vcsu guys f'ing suck....bunch of prayer 3pter's....up 7...be 20 by no time

[iHEARTthundar]

lets hope you are right... this is embarassing!

[IzzyFlexion]

Just a few seconds into halftime, Miller says, "Give VCSU credit for coming in here to this big time atmosphere" !?!?!?!
Sounds like a funeral service in that building!

[TheBisonator]

If anybody can convince me why we need to be scheduling these DAC teams for regular season games, I'd love to hear it....

i really wish the students would get up for every game and not just when we play ORU or SDSU... and everybody else only cheers when the students do...

[Bison101]

If anybody can convince me why we need to be scheduling these DAC teams for regular season games, I'd love to hear it....

Confidence and record builders. But still, I'd rather be playing Kansas State right now...

[ndsubison1]

home games... count just as much as D2 games towards RPI as well

Judging by numbers on this game thread Bisonville interest is just as bad as fan turnout. Regardless, the Bison should be up by 20 points at half.

[TheBisonator]

home games... count just as much as D2 games towards RPI as well

Then why not play a couple D2 teams??

[ndsubison1]

Then why not play a couple D2 teams??

because they count the same towards RPI.......

[TheBisonator]

because they count the same towards RPI.......

Wouldn't it be less embarrassing to be in this situation against an NSIC team though?? At least then we'd be playing NCAA teams.

I mean, schools like Moorhead, Bemidji and Crookston aren't willing to come to the BSA once a year and round out our home schedule??

NAIA games are more of an automatic win than D2. It helps with building up that win column. Duke played D2 Presbyterian earlier this year, I guess that's the same as us playing VCSU. Every good team plays terrible teams in early OOC games

Presbyterian is DI, at least more DI than the uxd's. They're in the Big South.

[NDSUstudent]

Woodside is hurt, sounds like an ankle injury.

[lakesbison]

Woody getting taped up...will be back..im reportin courtside

[heckler]

I know that everyone on here likes our basketball coach but seriously I am still not sold on him. He seems to be a good person but a good coach? I don't know yet.

[IzzyFlexion]

Could be a long Saturday if Woodside can't play.
Oh, did I just state the obvious??!!

[ndsubison1]

Presbyterian is DI, at least more DI than the uxd's. They're in the Big South.

nm then... but I would still say that's the same as us playing a team like VCSU... but the scheduling will get better as time goes on

[heckler]

Could be a long Saturday if Woodside can't play.
Oh, did I just state the obvious??!!

Our starters shouldn't have more than 10 minutes in these games.

[ndsubison1]

Our starters shouldn't have more than 10 minutes in these games.

not if were barely winning...

[Da Bison]

Back in

Ben Woodside

[IzzyFlexion]

Woodside is back in??
Don't like that move....
Too damn risky given the circumstances.

[NDSUstudent]

Woody getting taped up...will be back..im reportin courtside

Nice call lakes.

[ndsubison1]

keep Woody out...

[TheBisonator]

keep Woody out...

I agree. Let him rest tonight for Saturday's game.

[ndsubison1]

reporting live from the NDSU Bench... lakesbison... did you get any tips from Erin Andrews?

[TheBisonator]

What's the score, anyone?? PLEASE tell me we're pulling away!!

[ndsubison1]

54-39 Bison

[NDSUstudent]

Yeah, now that it seems like he is ok, let him rest.

[tcbison]

Bison 54 VCSU 39

[TheBisonator]

54-39 Bison

Good. Thank God. I don't think we'd hear the end of it from up north if we somehow lost.

[BisBison]

What's the score, anyone?? PLEASE tell me we're pulling away!!

Bison 54-39 VC timeout 12:24 left

[ndsubison1]

This game will hurt Woody's scoring average

[HoopsBison]

man things could get ugly on saturday if we play like this...

[NDSUstudent]

This game will hurt Woody's scoring average

It about guarantees the record goes down at the BSA against NAU though, but I wouldn't' complain if he dropped 35+ against USC.

[TheBisonator]

man things could get ugly on saturday if we play like this...

Seems like we're doing fine now, but I hope Woody's OK...

[ndsubison1]

56-44 VCSU just won't go away...

I consider this a trap game... coming off a pretty good tournament at Drake.. Huge game vs. USC on Sat....

[heckler]

can we please take out some starters now?

[ndsubison1]

Mike Nelson is on the board everybody, just scored his first points...

[ndsubison1]

can we please take out some starters now?

up 16, 9 min left.. keep them in a bit more, but I would sit Woody

[BisBison]

up 20 now Moormann out Nelson out 7 minutes left

[TheBisonator]

Boy, this game scared me for a little bit, but it's good that we pulled away...

[ndsubison1]

Alright Saul time to pull Woody and Winks... 5 min left, get your bench some PT

[ndsubison1]

I cringe everytime Woody drives to the bucket

[ndsubison1]

73-54 Bison
4 min. left
Woody now out. Winks still in

[BisBison]

Bison win 83-62 sounded ugly. 1400 fans.

[ndsubison1]

83-62 Bison Final

Much better 2nd half...

Time for USC. hopefully we get a better showing and a full game from them in LA

[BisonVifte]

It was ugly. No energy most of the game.

[imabison]

If anybody can convince me why we need to be scheduling these DAC teams for regular season games, I'd love to hear it....
Ask Saul Phillips, he will tell you that they do not have the funds to bring in any higher level of competition.

Get your friends off their butts, get them to the game. Attendance will drive funds, and funds will allow better competition.

Saul said it himself a fews ago.

[SUBISON247]

It is Thursday of Finals week. If the students are not studying then they are gone.

[IzzyFlexion]

Bison win 83-62 sounded ugly. 1400 fans.

The game 75 miles up I-29 featured Dickinson State and was attended by 1,792.:(
I know it's finals week....but being out-attended by them is brutal.
By the way, Dickinson State only lost by 5!
