[lakesbison]

Ok NDSU, You want to be a NCAA basketball team????

We're behind you all the way, lets ramp this up a LOT!!!!!

3 Summit Games

[NDSUstudent]

One game at a time lakes, one game at a time.

[BigBison]

Yup one game at a time.

[sambini]

A game at a time......

[lakesbison]

"sigh" your missing my point...


every team has a losing record, NDSU has to finish 27-5 or 26-6 in my opinon!!

[NDSUstudent]

"sigh" your missing my point...


every team has a losing record, NDSU has to finish 27-5 or 26-6 in my opinon!!

At the rate ORU is picking off teams they won't have a losing record for much longer. The team we play for Bracketbusters will also have a winning record.

[Herd]

I'm with Lakes . . . ramp this beootch up! Let's play in the tournament, let's destory some more teams like Utah Valley! Let's ramp it up! Let's send an angry team in Brookings.:ranting:

[rutlandbison]

I am also with Lakes here. Shit why not run the table, we have a shot. We need to take control now, go to Brookings and beat them by 30!!!:ranting: :ranting: WHOOOOAAAAAA!!

[lakesbison]

OH YEA... it starts tomorrow at cubbies!!!

SDSU=DEAD!!

OAKLAND=DEAD!!!

IPFW=DEAD!!!!!!


LETS DO THIS!!

[JacksFan06]

jackrabbits = HUNTED
golden grizzlies = HIBERNATING
mastadons = EXTINCT
leathernecks = DOMISTICATED

[lcbison]

jackrabbits = HUNTED

Sioux= ....................................

[NDSUstudent]

This team is already expected to win the Summit and get to the big dance now some want to throw a 19 game win streak on their shoulders? :smh:

I'm not saying it can't happen but cmon on people. Just relax and enjoy the ride.

[Hammersmith]

The only win streak I'm concerned about is a three-win streak in early March in Sioux Falls. Anything else is gravy.

[ThunderDan]

Well said...running the table means nothing if you don't win the conference tourney.

[mebisonII]

Bah, you all are letting a dismal football season de-color your glasses from their former green-and-gold!

Its sports, why not be excited and have some fun!?! I'm all for it, lets have a 19-game win streak!!

[lcbison]

NO, this is life or death. If the Bison don't win the world will end.

also:

No criticizing the Bison players

No criticizing the coaches

No handing out little red dots on an anonymous internet message board!!!

[Herd]

I'm not saying 27-5 is going to happen (although that would be sweet), I'm just saying . . .

Ramp, this Beotch, Up! (sing-it-with-me) Ramp, this Beotch, Up!

How about you start with not making derogatory statements towards the Sioux.

[lakesbison]

HUH??? W T F


is the gopher bball team choking affecting your judgement sirhinn *2 in a row and your safety left the football team*

[TheDoctor]

Well said...running the table means nothing if you don't win the conference tourney.

Not entirely true....it means a guaranteed NIT appearance. ;)

[Ricky Bobby]

I would rather make the NCAA tournament and lose the first round than win the NIT.

[SirHinn]

I would rather make the NCAA tournament and lose the first round than win the NIT.

Agreed 100% and I'm sure the players and the coaching staff would agree as well!

[lakesbison]

ahem.. sirhinn??? care to explain your remark earlier and the gophers choking??

[SirHinn]

HUH??? W T F


is the gopher bball team choking affecting your judgement sirhinn *2 in a row and your safety left the football team*

Again, what the heck does the Gophers losing have anything to do with NDSU basketball? How about we just worry about NDSU getting through the regular season healthy instead of the utter nonsense talk of them running the table.

[lcbison]

How about you start with not making derogatory statements towards the Sioux.

sorry Hammer, i will leave your ppl alone

[SirHinn]

ahem.. sirhinn??? care to explain your remark earlier and the gophers choking??

Yes, I care to comment, LC made a statement that most would consider to be very offending to the Sioux people unless your very ignorant.

[SlickVic]

its not nonsense to talk about them running the table...with they way they are playing its possible that they win them all...i wouldnt bet someone straight up on it but at 4 or 5 to 1 i wouldnt hesitate to throw down a few ricky bobbys i mean benjamins on it ;)

[lakesbison]

sirhinn... SHOOT... my bad.... is that what was "EDITED" by roadwarrior???

if so.. my apoligies... but im still gonna give ya sh*t bout the gophers and hammer radio. hehe

[lcbison]

How about you start with not making derogatory statements towards the Sioux.

O come on, my comment wasn't even that bad

the other ones involved killing off species of animals



RELAX

[cvbison1]

Yes, I care to comment, LC made a statement that most would consider to be very offending to the Sioux people unless your very ignorant.

well sirhinn, this is bisonville baby. you need to take it ezzz, sip on a 40 and agree with mr. LC. Sioux SUCK

[SirHinn]

well sirhinn, this is bisonville baby. you need to take it ezzz, sip on a 40 and agree with mr. LC. Sioux SUCK

Just because this is bisonville doesn't mean it's ever okay to use that reference to the Sioux people. It was very offensive, classless and disrespectful. It's one thing to make a joke reference to animals, once you start doing it with classes of people though you went too far.

Perhaps we should continue on with the running the table talk now. Lakes, I'll give you 20/1 odds, the Bison don't run the table although I would certainly love to see it though.

[ndsubison1]

I'd love to see us run the table, but it's not gonna happen

[lakesbison]

hear me out.

1 team with a winning record (oakland 10-9) at home

possibly oral roberts.

bracketbuster game at UW milwaukee, etc.

+______________________________+

there's 2-3 probable losses... BUT IF THIS SENIOR BUNCH WANTS TO STAMP THEMSELVES IN BISON HISTORY... RUN THE FREAKIN TABLE AND GET TO THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

at SDSU
at IUPUI
at WIU
at Centenary

All possible losses too. None of them will be gimmes. I love the enthusiasm but lets not put anymore pressure then there already is on these guys. Just take it game by game, next up is SDSU.

[IzzyFlexion]

I would rather make the NCAA tournament and lose the first round than win the NIT.

This is facinating to me so I'd like to see where others stand on this hypothetical scenario.
If you had your choice:

Would you rather see the Bison make the first round of the NCAA tournament and lose....
or,
Win the NIT tournament.

[GRAFTONBISON]

NCAA. Period.

[HandoEX]

I'd rather make the Big Dance no doubt!

[SlickVic]

pretty funny story 5 or 6 years ago i got my 15 seconds of fame playing ball at courts plus and one of the local sports guys came in to do a piece for the ten o clock news cant remember which channel but he went around interviewing peoples picks to win the ncaa tourney...when i got on camra and he asked me i was like "personally im more a fan of the NIT" i thought that that was pretty funny ;)

Being the 66th best team in the nation, can I? On a serious note, ESPN shows NIT games around the NCAA's. Chances are we would never get even a minute of time on CBS's main broadcast if we make the tourney. If we were to win the NIT, we'd be on ESPN a MINIMUM of 2 times, maybe even 3. The tourney is the tourney and an upset would be HUGE (way bigger than the NIT). All food for thought. The bottom line is that after the tourneys start it's anyone's game. Therfore, you take the NCAA's and go for the upset. We were projected to play Oklahoma last week in the 1st round. We could beat Oklahoma. They are a one dimensional team that when that kid is off, they can be beat. Win the tourney and go to the NCAA's. Thats my vote! ;)

I'd take a 40 point blowout loss in the NCAA field (trust me, we won't loose by 40) to two wins in the NIT any day and on Sunday's. There is all kinds of publicity that leads up to the NCAA tournament with national stories and Summit Championship video. The NIT just quietly starts. If our current seniors were Sophmore's now an NIT run wouldn't be bad building up to a NCAA run the follow year, but its a one shot deal for our current seniors, our best team in many years.

Also, if NDSU is playing, we will get on the air in the upper Midwest (MN, SD, ND, IA, IL, NE), and the masses will see NDSU basketball in pubs all over the country. You can count on it.

I think our team is really building, and with good recruiting we will continue to have good teams (maybe better than 2009), but our profile need an NCAA shot in the arm.

We would be on tv somewhere if we made the dance... they don't always show one game, bits and pieces of our game would be shown if we make the dance, esp. if it's a close one...

[lakesbison]

B1son aint a debbie downer.... unless debbie has a friend for ME!!

Herd.. u best recognize!!!!!

OFF TO BROOKINGS!!

[bisonpride4ever]

easily the NCAA Tournament

I also would choose the NCAA Tournament. People always talk about upsets in the Big Dance (Valpo over OlMiss, Hampton over Iowa St, all the Gonzaga teams) If we make it and win a game it'll be remembered forever and brought up every year. Sure there's upsets in the NIT, but who cares. Lakes always talks about publicity, whether good or bad, well think about it if we make it to the NCAA tournament,for the duration of the tournament, we are in every major newspaper in the country, people will gamble on us. If we even make the game close people will talk about us and talk about how great this Bison player did or how Saul coached a great game. Win or lose, the Bison NCAA tournament will be the biggest sporting event in this state....until we make again next year and the year after that and so on and so forth lol!!!

[mjh]

I want some what you be smokin. We got to beat Oakland and O.R. or maybe IUPUI to get to the NCAA's. We will need great play and luck to get there.

[ThunderDan]

Win or lose, the Bison NCAA tournament will be the biggest sporting event in this state....until we make again next year and the year after that and so on and so forth lol!!!

If we make it this year, we will not be going back for a few years, unless we get a miracle run in the summit tourney. or some dominating JUCO transfers.

[Herd]

Let's be real here. We are 14-5, with 5 of the next 7 at home. I expect to be 21-5 or 20-6 at the end of this stretch . . . and that is just being relatistic. We will not goto OT in Fargo against the Jacks, and can get W's at WIL & IPI. IPI is trending down.

So at 21-5 or 20-6, there are 3 games left. BrBust, @Cent, @ORU. ORU will want to, very badly, avenge their last 2 losses to NDSU. Therefore I expect a record of . . .

Best Case 24-5
Most Likely 22-7
Worst Case 20-9

Heading into Tourney. Will have the #1 or #2 seed with W at home vs. Oakland. That is reality, and not a bad season. The tournament is everything however.

Just curious, but is there enough bridge room in Fargo-Moorhead for would be jumpers in the event the Bison don't win the Summit Tournament?
Perhaps there will be enough Red River flooding by then to accomadate everyone. Being the top seed will definately make it easier, but just think of how many nervous wrecks will be on the GDT during the championship game (myself included!) Well, first things first, I guess.....gotta get into the championship game.:nod:

I think we'll be okay. The National Weather Service is predicting a 90% chance of major flood damage for Fargo this year. With the Red about 20 miles wide, I think we can find room for them all. We can grab some flooded I-29 overpasses to serve as bridges if all else fails. :nod:

[ndsubison1]

I just hope we are the number one seed going into the Tourney. That would be huge, but I guess it doesn't matter, I just wanna win the whole damn thing...

[jimmyjack]

The Bison are an impressive group. Woodside and Winkelman are amazing. Woodside, in particular, seems to be able to take over a game whenever he decides he needs to. Nelson had a sub-par game for him at SDSU, but he's also a great player. I don't know if the Bison can run the table, but I'll be rooting for them to do it. Good luck.

While I'm at it, the other thing I like about the Bison is that they're a classy bunch. No whining. No heads shaking after calls. They just go out and play and win like they've done it all before. I enjoyed watching them play last night in Brookings.

[Rabbitlivinginverm]

I just hope we are the number one seed going into the Tourney. That would be huge, but I guess it doesn't matter, I just wanna win the whole damn thing...

I hope you guys are # one. If you are, I wouldn't mind being the 8 seed. I (and I'm sure the team) would love to knock you guys out in the first round:)

[lakesbison]

rabbit.. I sure hope you guys make the summit tournament too at #8... it's a GREAT GOAL FOR YOU GUYS!!!



Ncaa tournament vs #8 in summit tournament ---stay classy!!

[Bryan]

Without looking it up, anyone remember who won the NIT last year, or who were the final four teams in NYC. I follow college basketball closely and I can't remember, mainly becuase nobody cares.

[56BISON73]

They still have that tournament????:D

ohio state and florida were in it. i wanna say there was another sec team and then a smaller school from the east coast.


looked it up, ohio state, florida, ole miss, umass.

[NDSUFan_Sav]

If we make it this year, we will not be going back for a few years, unless we get a miracle run in the summit tourney. or some dominating JUCO transfers.

how can people say this, they haven't even seen the recruits and our teams view on the game will have to change...let it play out cripes!

[lakesbison]

This Is Still A Possibility!!!!

Pump This Up!!

3 Summit Games

You forgot 5 games in the NCAA tournament. Minor details. :cool:

[Old Titan]

Really not sure how seriously this thread is supposed to be taken, but for the record:

1. ORU is currently 11-11 on the year, and will definitely have a winning record when NDSU comes to town.

2. Winning that game could very well give ORU a fifth straight conference regular season title, the No. 1 Seed in the conference tournament, and a guaranteed bid in the NIT.

3. ORU will likely be riding a 34-game conference home winning streak, dating back to 2005.

4. That night is our "Senior Night", which is always one of our largest crowds of the year.

5. Dating back twelve seasons and two coaches, ORU is undefeated in conference games on Senior Night.

See ya on the 28th. :)

I'd be the first to wish you bad luck against OU this Thursday. I don't think we will beat you there and a loss by ORU will barring another loss than the one at your house tie us for the title. How does the tie breaker go? If we split do they go margin of victory next??? ;)

Most points by a single player in 1 game this year.....that would be Woody :D

[fargocyclone]

Not anymore, didn't someone just put up 63 this last week or so?

*Looking for a link...


Found one:

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/dickvitale/news/story?id=3879805



PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Ryan Toolson, Utah Valley


It took four overtimes for the Utah Valley senior guard to score a school-record 63 points and lead his squad to a 123-121 win at Chicago State. He also scored 22 points in a loss to Cal State-Bakersfield.

[Yellow]

Actually thats Toolson of Utah Valley with 63 points

[lakesbison]

tiebreaker is record vs next team.

[Herd]

ORU needs to win in Oakland before NDSU travels to Tulsa. I'm not giving ORU that win. If you watched ORU vs Oakland earlier this year on DTV, Oakland had ORU and choked it away, losing in OT.

I think they will loose on the road at Oakland and be 1 game back going into the final game.

tiebreaker is record vs next team.

Ok, well if ended up tied the way I see it playing out, we would both have split with Oakland then then run the table against all the rest. Therefore, there has to be another way to decide it. I am guessing it is margin of victory in our head to head games. ;)

After record against next best team the tiebreaker is RPI.

RPI.. good, we got ORU beat on that.

Not anymore, didn't someone just put up 63 this last week or so?

*Looking for a link...


Found one:

1. Utah valley isn't in our conference
2. no one in our conference has beat it
3. His isn't isn't recorded because the team is in transition (if i recall correctly)

I hope you guys are # one. If you are, I wouldn't mind being the 8 seed. I (and I'm sure the team) would love to knock you guys out in the first round:)

Don't count your bunnies before they're hatched.

If we run the table, we're actually 25-5 in the eyes of the selection committee, because of useless wins over Mayville and Valley City.

Stolen from the book of labiticus

The thing is, a legitimate run at the field of 65 almost requires a #1 seed going into the Summit. Winning the tounament from the #2 is possible, but more likely from the #1. Getting the #1 seed almost requires that we run the table, other than the meaningless Milwaukee game. So, running the table talk, meaning 24-5, isn't so stupid afterall. Then, you win 3 Summit Tounament games, yes necessary to make the field of 65, lands you at 27-5. So what's so out of line about running the table? Its almost necessary if you want the #1 seed. It may not happen, but it might.

Ah, I see what you were getting at now. I should probably read the posts leading up to a post I'm responding to, so that I get the whole point of the original post... :blush: :)

[lakesbison]

Well.. Since I Started This... Its Still Going!!!

Holla!!s this is lookin solid

[NDSUFan_Sav]

we're coming we're coming!!!!!!

Lets do this!!!

Also lets have a ORU loss on saturday!

[lakesbison]

Just keep steamrolling this train!!!

[NDSUstudent]

Run table? So much for that....seriously I hated this thread because it created some idiotic expectation that just completely took away from everything that was important...not to mention that fact that it was just a slap in the face to every opponent we have on the schedule. Well tonight we got slapped and I hope a few posters took notes. Thankfully running the table never meant jack as far our real goals are concerned. The only table we will ever need to run is in Sioux Falls.

Hopefully the team takes this loss and uses it as one final reminder that they are by no means unbeatable and you have to bring it on every night. Our defensive intesity was a bit lacking but at the same time you have to give credit to SUU for hitting some big shots. No doubt they were the better team tonight. I still like our chances of winning the league title and in Sioux Falls but lets enjoy the ride and take it one game at a time.

For those that still don't realize it. We are in the 1st place in the league, nothing changed after losing one game.

[lakesbison]

Tonite was crap,,,,,that screwed us!!! running the table.would of legitimized us in the eyes of college bball nation and the seeding comittee....now we'll be lucky.to get 14 seed ...... when we coulda been 25-5 + 12 seed on a 19-20 game winning streak ... Dammit!!!!!!

[unbison]

come on lakes on loss does not end the season...... only place they have to run the table is in sioux falls


It aint time for a bridge watch yet is it....

[sambini]

Bounce Back And Start A Streak Again.

[tjbison]

well i guess lakes will have to settle for 26-6!!!:blush:

[bison68]

Well I didn't want them to lose, but I think this just might have been the best thing for them right now. Get the loss out of the way now and start fresh and not have to worry about it when it got down to tournament time. I know I will probably be thrown under the bus with this response but I just think it was the best time to lose a game.

I like your thought process, I would have just preferred if it had come at Mill next Saturday in a game that means nothing. ;)
