Is that a change in time? I thought that the basketball game was at 8pm CST. Either way, football playoffs are TOP priority over basketball, regardless of the opponent. I'll have to get ESPN updates on my phone for the basketball game.

If NDSU ever was in the final four, Fargo would go absolutely bonkers, people wouldnt know what football is. Nice dream and all but yeah isnt in our near future.

That being said, Football playoffs take priority. Its not like the basketball game is in Fargo anyway.


GO BISON

can gobison.com stream into the video boards at the fargodome and allow us to view during tv timeouts?

now that would be sweet.

I doubt a bunch of fans were going to be heading down to ASU in the first place. I'm sure they'll announce the score or show it on the video boards or something throughout the game.

I looked forward to the ASU game. Went there for a bit before finishing here at NDSU. My parents and bro went/go there as well. Lots of family pride on the line!

NDSU Playoffs football wins though

I really don't understand why some Bison football fans find it necessary to take random shots at other NDSU teams. The fact is, we have an exciting young men's basketball team that is off to a great 7-1 start, and they will be playing a PAC-12 opponent on Saturday. I'll be at the football game, standing and screaming my lungs out, but I will definitely be interested in that hoops game, too.

Go Bison!!

Call me contrarian, but IF your a real bison fan you'd care a whole lot more about a Bison Football playoff game than a Bison Basketball non-conference regular season game. Besides, basketball sucks. I like it when they win, and I was there for the Kansas game, arguably our most notable moment in college athletics in our short history, but, come on... You guys aren't seriously caring about this, are you?

I agree with this %100! Football comes first, but once the season is over, I go right to the basketball team. I think the attitude will change once we get the SHAC built and are consistently on top of our conference.

I care about the basketball game and I will try to follow it while at the dome. I love Bison hoops just as much as Bison football, I've gone to 100s of Bison basketball games.

You're clearly missing the point. Whether you like basketball more than football, or don't like football at all, I'm going to be bold here and say that if you are paying more attention to the Bison Basketball game on Saturday than you are the Football game, you need a serious gut-check.

I've got a smart phone(if it works in the dome is another issue) but yes I'll try to keep myself updated on the score. Maybe even try to listen for a few minutes at the half of the football game.

The first thing I did after the football game on Saturday was check out the score to the baskeball game.

[heffray]

Seems appropriate...

I don't even know what say to this... um, congrats on your film knowledge?... maybe, nice job looking up youtube videos?... your search engine skills are outstanding. I don't knwno what this has to do with Bison Football Playoff games being way more important than a non-conference regular season basketball game.

[NDSUstudent]

Nobody said it is more important, but some of us still care about the basketball game. Obviously if it was more important we'd stay at home and watch the game on FoxSportsAZ.com but clearly a playoff football game takes priority but that doesn't mean we have to act like the basketball game ceases to exist.

You guys aren't seriously caring about this, are you?

I'd also have to disagree and say that winning the summit league championship game in our 1st year of eligibility was a bit more notable than losing to Kansas in an opening round game.

[HoopsBison]

I don't cheer for just one Bison athletic team I cheer for all of them. You better believe i'm going to care and be interested in what is happening in Arizona state Saturday afternoon.

However the thread title isn't the greatest. Its not like this game is in Fargo or any where close. I'm going to go ahead and assume most of us weren't going to make the trip to watch the game. Yes, unfortunate that the two events are at the same time, but not really a big deal at all.

I care too. I think it would be great if they beat them. But in the grand scheme of things, it won't matter even if they do. Great pub for a good club, but they aren't going to get an at large bid and they have a small shot at the Conference Title with what Oakland is doing this year. I'll check the score when Scorecenter tells me the final, but I won't be thinking about the basketball game at all during the football game.

Yeah Oakland is already 1 game up in the conference, we should probably just pack it up for the year...

funny you should tell me to read posts. read mine. saying "basketball sucks" was in jest and i apologize to anyone who loves that stupid sport.

saying even that football will take "some precedence" in this instance is delusional.

Not really a big deal because people will be paying more attention to the football game, as they should, and catch the score/highlights of the basketball game after or intermittantly during. Yeah, agreed. I don't hate Bison Basketball, for the record. I just don't like the sport as a whole, especially the NBA.

[Schwarz04]

[heffray]

You're we shouldn't, but i've just been noticing that they have been lighting it up so far this year. The Bison probably have a shot, and perhaps my comments in this regard were uneducated and premature to say the least.

[HoopsBison]

We have two very exciting programs that have accomplished a great deal since making the move to D1. Both have certainly provided a great deal of highlights and made NDSU more prominent around the country. To not care about one for whatever reason is baffling to me.

Right now its football playoff time, and that is without question the most important event happening this weekend. The basketball team just so happens to be playing on the road against a well known university. Best of luck the MBB, I will try to find or hear an update on how they are doing on Saturday but it will not be of the up most importance to me.

[BlueBisonRock]

Isn't Bisonville great?!!? We can argue about some of the most insignificant details as if it were life and death, but still get up in the morning feeling loved.

Put me in the Bison athletics camp even though I have not been to an athletic contest other than football and the NCAA tourney Kansas game since I graduated. However, I do follow as much of the Bison world as I can. I believe that is why we say:

"Go Bison"!

When you dis one sport, you dis them all

[heffray]

You know your a dolt when your only response is to call another sport stupid...wow, you're cool.

holy smokes, calm down. joke. i don't like basketball, the calls of the refs play into the outcome too often, too subjective. and correction, that was not my only response. i called delusion on anyone who thinks this basketball game ranks anywhere near the playoff game on saturday. i could go on to explain what i meant by "delusional," but i thought i had made that clear. perhaps, in your case, i was wrong.

anyone who knows me would think it's a pretty big compliment to the Bison Basketball team that i care at all about them (sarcasm). Honeslty though, I care because I know how significant it is if they do well and make it to the dance. It's a big deal and I want what's best for the Bison. I also want what's worst for the Sioux, just for the record.

[DjKyRo]

It doesn't bother me if people don't pay close attention to every sport we have, as long as they don't belittle them. Them we're no better than the buthockey mouth-breathers, and we can conduct ourselves better than that.

Not that I see that here, just my two cents.

[Schwarz04]

Any way you slice it, the bottom line for me is I love both programs to death and always will. I like watching college basketball more in general, but will obviously be going to the football game due to its magnitude. Go Bison, both teams!

i didn't write that, i'm pretty sure it was Longhorn. i wrote "basketball sucks" and "basketball is stupid" because i literally think that. i don't have much respect for the sport. i do, however, enjoy when the Bison Basketball team does well, because i know that it is good for our school. i have no fight with you, we are both Bison fans. I assume you'll either be watching the Bison Football game on TV or you'll be at the game and catching updates of the Basketball game during that. That is as it should be.

no no, i apologized to anyone who likes that stupid sport. the clear cut meaning there was such that i'm sorry if me calling basketball stupid makes you feel mad, sad, uncomfortable, insecure, whatever bad feeling you're feeling. that's pretty much all it meant.

does no one else understand the significance of a born and raised hockey player who hates the gophers and the sioux, AND cheers for the Bison Basketball team? that's serious, people.

Well that changes my plans for Saturday. Bison/Lehigh football game either on TV or on the Internet on Saturday afternoon and then off to Well Fargo Arena for the Bison/ASU basketball game. I assumed that the basketball game would be an evening game, which 95% of them are. Oh well, I guess I'll have to watch the football game and dvr the basketball game to watch after the football game.

i did write it. sorry but bison basketball is low on my list of what to watch for. last game ive been to was the kansas game and i was there in the cities for the final five to cheer on the gophers

for a title to say "you guys wont like this" pertaining to all of us, i had to laugh and say who cares...like many have said, football trumps all for ndsu. it does in the local media, commercials, billboards, whatever. its ndsu's money maker and probably the sport that has ndsu casuals, like me, in the palm of their hand is because of ndsu football.

look if ndsu wins vs asu, great. ill be way too excited to be making plans against gsu, and frisco reservations. and i cant wait to see the viewing # for football compared to basketball. ill bet itll be 200+ football, 20ish? basketball.
