GDT: The Overshadowed Boys at Southern Utah

[TheBisonator]

Wait a minute, we have a basketball team?? That can't be!!!

Seriously, we could lose by freakin 110 tonight and I wouldn't give a damn. OK, I'm lying, I want to see us finally win a damn game in Cedar City, since whenever we enter that town, all of the Bison players' basketball skills magically drain away from their bodies.

Tipoff in a few.

[TheBisonator]

SUU isn't very well connected to webcast networks, I'm pretty sure GoBison AllAccess is the only thing carrying game video, and the picture quality from SUU is not reliable.

[TheBisonator]

A lot of Aussies on SUU's team.

[TheBisonator]

The picture quality looks like a close-up of a Seurat painting.

(My major was in art, shut up.)

[TheBisonator]

Dylan Hall (not pronounced "DIE-lann"), Tyler Braun, oh yeah, these announcers are gonna be wonderful.

[TheBisonator]

First segment over (15 min mark). TO Bison down 5-8

[TheBisonator]

14 minutes left in the first, Bison down 7-10

I can give updates every few minutes, don't expect a play-by-play from me.

[BisonTeacher]

this is the worst feed I have ever seen on Bison all access.....EVER

[TheBisonator]

this is the worst feed I have ever seen on Bison all access.....EVER

I was BWW's in South Fargo in 09 one night to watch the webcast of us playing at SUU.

The feed quality was the same, but you couldn't imagine what it looked like on BWW's projection screen. It looked like what one sees thru their eyes after poking and rubbing them for a long time.

And the audio was not working.

There were a lot of Bison fans there wanting to watch the game, instead watching a mute LSD trip. Whatever UND fans were at the BWW must have been secretly laughing at us.

[TheBisonator]

So far, the names that have been butchered by the announcer:

"Dillon" (not DIE-lann) Hall
Tyler Braun
Marshall Borkland

Well, in any case, tied at 15 with 9:47

[TheBisonator]

SUU has a very Division II style operation/outfit. The Summit will be better off without them.

[TheBisonator]

OK, the Bison are up 19-17 and have the ball, but I'm relying on what the annoucner is saying. No clock on the screen.

19-17 Bison, 7:47 left

[extremerouge]

You could listen to KFGOs audio stream if the video is that bad...

[missingnumber7]

You could listen to KFGOs audio stream if the video is that bad...Who's doing Play by play for hoops tonight?

[TheBisonator]

Tied at 24 with 4 minutes left.

We could be ranked number 1 in the nation and we'd still struggle in Cedar City.

[extremerouge]

[TheBisonator]

Zastrow is playing WAAAAY too damn much in this game. He's a liability. Come and get me, KyRo.

Bison down 28-24 2:15

[TheBisonator]

Bison down 30-32 at the half.

Every time the SUU announcers say "Borkland" as a reference to Marshall in the 2nd half, I'm gonna take a drink.

If I did that in the 1st half, I'd be completely shit-faced by now.

[TheBisonator]

This is what happens when you don't go out celebrating after a Bison football national championship. You end up talking to yourself in the basketball game thread later that night.

I'm gonna watch some Lions/Saints. Ciao

Zastrow - POTY material. Prove me wrong tonight.

[TheBisonator]

Bison down 33-36 15:55

[TheBisonator]

Tied at 38 with 13:33

[TheBisonator]

Bison up 40-38 12:17

[TheBisonator]

42-38 Bison a little over 10 left

[NDSUstudent]

Wow Oral Roberts rolled the Jacks 97-75

[coldspot]

Wow Oral Roberts rolled the Jacks 97-75

Terry V said there were NBA scouts there, I'm guessing to watch Morrison, and the guy goes off for 38.

[TheBisonator]

If you're not following the game, the Bison have turned the ball over a LOT.

[TheBisonator]

48-46 Bison 7:46

[TheBisonator]

56-54 Bison 4:25

[TheBisonator]

Tied at 59 with 1:41 left

[TheBisonator]

Trayvonn (I think) hits a HUGE shot at the shot clock buzzer, 61-59 Bison with 35 seconds left

[TheBisonator]

Going to OT, tied at 61

Just what we need, five more minutes of Bison basketball in Cedar City.

[Yellow]

Missed layup at buzzer.

[TheBisonator]

Two of SUU's best players are fouled out.

[Yellow]

Dylan continues to foul out

[TheBisonator]

Bison down 66-69 with about 40 seconds left

[TheBisonator]

SUU missed two FTs.

Bison have the ball down 68-69 with 27 or so left

[TheBisonator]

SUU lets Braun go through!!

70-69 Bison, 15.9 left, SUU has the ball

[TheBisonator]

Bison get the steal, break away for Braun!!!

72-69 Bison win!!!!

[BlueKeyAlum]

Great day all around for the Herd! Braun with 29 points!

[Yellow]

Wow...what an ending! I gives props to this young bison team staying mentally tough to pull out this win!

[No_Skill]

Awesome! Great way to cap the night.

[TheBisonator]

Basically what happened was the Bison got the rebound off the SUU miss with maybe 7-8 seconds left, and I think Marshall was able to pass it to Braun who broke away for the layup. SUU inbounded quickly with the clock racing towards zero, and attempted a 3 near halfcourt to tie, and IT ALMOST WENT IN.

No more Cedar City bullshit. Get on the plane and get back to Fargo to celebrate with the football team.

[TheBisonator]

I regret not listening to the KFGO audio. SUU's boring-ass announcers reflect the Mormon culture of that area.

[NDSUstudent]

Wow a win in Cedar City, thank God we will never have to go back again.

This was a great split by this young team, now sweep at home this week and we'll be off to a fantastic start.

[TheBisonator]

We'll win our next 3 in a row (UMKC and the UXD's) then we have a pissed off SDSU team to face.

[DjKyRo]

Nice win boys!

[ndsubison1]

Terry V said there were NBA scouts there, I'm guessing to watch Morrison, and the guy goes off for 38.

also wolters

Well here ya go my friend, Jack Michaels last 2 calls of the game and postgame interviews with Taylor and Saul MY OH MY WHAT A DAY IN THE KFGO BUILDING!!

[bisonpride4ever]

It said in the Forum box score that somehow there was 2,245 in attendance. I watched the game and there was no way there was even 500 people there it seemed. Nice road split for the Bison. Obviously Cedar City has been a house of horrors for the guys in past years. Nice to see the young squad step up and get the win.

[North Side]

can this day get any better???????

[The Lost Dutchman]

Is Taylor Braun seriously only a sophmore, REALLY???? TB could end up being one of the best Bison ever on the hardwood! He can take over games on both ends of the court and I'm not sure we've seen a player like him before!

[HandoEX]

Life is good. Go Bison!!!

[lakesbozo]

Congrats on win, the league goes oru, ndsu,oakland,sdsu 1 2 3 4

[IzzyFlexion]

So far, the names that have been butchered by the announcer:

"Dillon" (not DIE-lann) Hall
Tyler Braun
Marshall Borkland

Well, in any case, tied at 15 with 9:47

I think it is supposed to be pronounced DIE-lan.
That's the way Scottie pronounces it.

[HandoEX]

Wow, Oakland ahead of SDSU? That is nuts, sorry.

[Bisonwinagn]

Wow, Oakland ahead of SDSU? That is nuts, sorry.

Agreed. SDSU is #2 right now, but things could change. ORU is clearly #1 though.

[TheBisonator]

I think it is supposed to be pronounced DIE-lan.
That's the way Scottie pronounces it.

I know, he said "Dillon", it's supposed to be "DIE-lann".

[IzzyFlexion]

I know, he said "Dillon", it's supposed to be "DIE-lann".

Oh, sorry. Must have misinterpreted your post.

[Hopeful-Bison-Baller]

Agreed. SDSU is #2 right now, but things could change. ORU is clearly #1 though.

Dont care about record/conference record. 1. ORU 2. NDSU 3. SDSU

[tcbison]

Is Taylor Braun seriously only a sophmore, REALLY???? TB could end up being one of the best Bison ever on the hardwood! He can take over games on both ends of the court and I'm not sure we've seen a player like him before!

If Taylor Braun stays aggressive taking the ball to the hoop I think he will be right up there. In the Minnesota game I was disappointed he didn't drive to the hoop more.

[BisonBlogger]

Up until the last couple of games, I thought his perimeter shooting was suspect but he now seems to have got very comfortable shooting the ball to go along with his dribble drive skills. He truely is a triple threat player now which if he keeps that up, he will be one of the all time great Bison players.
