Gameday Thread: NDSU vs. Oakland Semifinal

[Hammersmith]

Half hour till tipoff. Will our warriors be able to put their exhaustion behind them and pull out another win?

[aces1180]

I don't know if the game will be on, but WDAY AM streams live from 6 am - 5 pm, Monday - Friday. It's worth checking out and seeing if it works for the women's game.

The pregame show is on now, so I guess the feed will work for this game.

Are you live stats working? I can't get mine to work, even though they worked for the SDSU game.

Not yet. They quit for me half way througgh the second half of the SDSU game

Ok, now the live stats are working.

[Hammersmith]

Any insight as to why?

DeHoff wants to take Oak out of their comfort zone.

[GOB1SON]

DeHoff wants to take Oak out of their comfort zone.

And probably save a little energy for the second half.

[cabis]

Got to take care of the ball and build some momentum. Lets go Bison!

Get it down to 10 by half and play some solid D. They have a chance.

Solid D followed by boxing out and rebounding can get you back into the game in a hurry.

There's a reason they call it fundamental.

Throw out the first 5 minutes and we are looking good. Got to stay the course and keep chipping away.

[tcbison]

Looks like NDSU needs to shoot more 3 pointers! 60% is very good from beyond the arc.

[GOB1SON]

Looks like NDSU needs to shoot more 3 pointers! 60% is very good from beyond the arc.

Considering the two misses where shot clock inspired, I believe (or did Ashley miss one?)

[IronRanger]

Looks like NDSU needs to shoot more 3 pointers! 60% is very good from beyond the arc.

We heated up with about 6 minutes left in the half. The biggest part which is hurting us is POINTS OFF TURNOVERS 2 17 OUCH!!!

[Hammersmith]

Looks like NDSU needs to shoot more 3 pointers! 60% is very good from beyond the arc.

Looks like NDSU needs to steal OU's dance team.

That alone was worth the webcast money.

[GOB1SON]

Oh sure. You are the one who "advised" me not to pick up the webcast!

Damn. I love dance teams.

[Hammersmith]

Oh sure. You are the one who "advised" me not to pick up the webcast!

Damn. I love dance teams.

I tried to find you some pictures(damn, that was hard work to look through those photos of dance teams), but none of the OU pictures were large enough to make out details. Sorry. :nod:

Will the Bison and Bunnies get kicked out to the Summit if that happens?

First Question Answer:
IUPUI and ORU met frequently in the conference finals, they are still in the league. If the Mo Valley opens, the Summit can kick us out for that:nod:
Second Question Answers:
Lakes people are aware of a developing situation in the Big 10 involving two charter members and medicore performances that are being addressed:D

***Surprisingly, lakes just has walked into the house without any of his bitches

Oustanding season by the ladies, especially considering the few numbers at the end of the year. It only gets better after this!!

[Hammersmith]

Okay everyone:

Go Oakland!!

Down with the Bunnies!

[bisonmike2]

Congrats on a good season ladies. Oakland, please beat the SDSU women.

[mebisonII]

Way to overachieve, ladies!! Take a :bow:

[zooropa]

Okay everyone:

Go Oakland!!

Down with the Bunnies!

This is because you want two Summit schools in the NCAAs, right?

I have to say, NDSU played Oakland tough but were obviously gassed by about the 10 minute mark--they were slipping up going after loose balls, etc.

The Bison put on a heckuva show from the mid point of the first half to the mid point of the second, though.... I had to cheer for them, even more than I had to cheer for Centenary on Saturday.

Shame the game's 40 minutes long though. If it were 30 minutes they would've had a shot......

---

And, BTW, the women's team, although they lost, have nothing to apologize for. The men, on the other hand, had dang well better come ready to play 40 minutes tonight, because they had nothing to brag about after that game on Saturday. Not trying to rag on the men, excessively, just trying to point out that--from someone who saw both games--the women played their hearts out and lost--the men (for large stretches) phoned it in, and won. Make of that what you will.

[Hansel]

4725 in attendance


The women's tourney could triple the previous attendance record with a good showing tomorrow

[zooropa]

with a good showing tomorrow

That's probably not going to be a problem....

Sometimes you play DOWN to your competition and sometimes you play UP, im taking the earlier against Cent. and I will bet money you see a different game tonight!!

[sambini]

Nice effort and fine season ++++

[zooropa]

Sometimes you play DOWN to your competition and sometimes you play UP, im taking the earlier against Cent. and I will bet money you see a different game tonight!!

I didn't see that different of a game. A better game, yes, but you guys fouled out three of the 8 guys in your rotation.... And it was the second game in a row where Tweidt fouled out with plenty of time on the clock. The only benefit to you guys tonight was the game was out of hand.

At any rate, looks like the Jacks women will be 'cleaning up' after the men tomorrow.....

[cvbison1]

Jacks women basketball...yippie. i love womens basketball yay. sdsu womens basketball is better than the lady vols yay. they are super.....wait a minute....

[RunDMc34]

Seriously the jacks should be proud of their women's program, it would be sweet to have a top 15 team. I really dislike every single jack fan I have ever met but still they have a nice women's team that could go very deep into the tourney.

[roadwarrior]

One more win by Oakland and NDSU women are in the WNIT!

[zooropa]

One more win by Oakland and NDSU women are in the WNIT!

There is that............

[sambini]

One more win by Oakland and NDSU women are in the WNIT!
That would be sweet+++

[zooropa]

That would be sweet+++
Just FYI:

Schools bid to host the WNIT, the WNIT gets almost all the gate (IIRC), and tickets have to cost more than regular season games (vs. Summit League tickets which cost less than SDSU doubleheaders, and I'm guessing less than 2 tickets to Bison games).

I'd like to think NDSU fans, in general, would support a WNIT bid, but I have to tell you, their gutsy performance in the semis today went largely unappreciated.
