GDT: Quarterfinal Matchup vs UMKC

[HoopsBison]

Alright postseason play starting tonight against UMKC. The Bison are heavy favorites tonight and shouldnt have to much trouble from the Roos. However we saw IUPUI give SDSU a little scare yesterday. Will be important to come out early and bury them and not let them hand around and hope.

Game starts at 8:30pm.

Direct TV: 623
Cableone: 306

Midco also had a free link that streams the games.

Go Bison!

[NDSUstudent]

The Bison are 17 1/2 point favorites per LVH.

I think the team is going to come out with a lot energy tonight and win by 20. With Bjorklund having a big game.

[SDbison]

Bison need to come out with a lot of energy in all their tourney games and play as much of their bench as possible. Also, I hope the bunnies get a scare in their game on Monday and as usual play little of their bench. On Tuesday if NDSU comes out aggressive and makes SDSU run the bunnies will get worn out and lose. Of course, Saul would have to quit telling Bison players to pass and dribble the ball around the perimeter for 15 seconds before they can shoot. I really think this Bison team can play good enough defense to allow a more open offense. Seems in the tougher games NDSU gets too tight on offense and goes into scoring droughts. The slow down game then works against them.

[Bison03]

First things first, win tonight. Bison haven't won a Summit tourney game since Woody hit that jumper with 3.3 left. We need to come out strong and flex our muscle a little bit and show we are the team to beat. I think if Braun comes out and has a big game, the team will feed off that. Let's do it Bison.

[MontBison]

Would anyone take the bison at 17.5?

[HandoEX]

I wouldn't take us at 17.5. I do think we will win by double digits, but that's too big of a spread.

We are going to win the tourney. I have no doubt.

[AjaxTheMighty]

I still think SDSU is the team to beat, not us. Wolters is playing in his own back yard...in his final collegiate season...in front of a large 'home' crowd. I would love to be wrong. But I'm not. Just sayin!

[SamsRams]

Im hosting a watch party at LVH if anyone is in town or knows anyone in town looking to watch with fellow Bison fans. We already have 12 confirmed

Might be a bit high, I think we'll win by about 15.

They play six guys, and the one player they bring off the bench, Heemstra, barely plays and sucks. Not ideal for winning three games in four days.

Good point. They gave us all we could handle in Fargo, and thumped us in Brookings. I know. Braun was out. That tells me that if he has an off to below average night they win the summit...again. I think we can beat them, I'm just not feeling like we will.

[Hammerhead]

I looked for the women's game in HD and didn't find it so I gave up on the men's game and then my receiver said it needed to change the channel because I have it set to record any sporting North Dakota State programs. The women's games just had something like "teams TBA" in the title.

[344Johnson]

6 now I believe.

[Tatanka]

make that 6.

Nice job using the bench by Saul though. Getting LA some rest is good. Having Braun able to run the point gives NDSU some options.

HOLY CARP A TIMEOUT BY SAUL

[Tatanka]

7 turnovers.

[JMB]

Yeah. It's still better than 623.

Yeah I wasn't sure if it was a Dish vs. Direct TV thing....

Hopefully Marshall can start finding the open man quicker when he gets the ball. So far he's been double teamed up until now.

Excellent series, but not quite Breaking Bad-ish. DVR-ing and will watch after the game. C'mon bison!

[Bison"FANatic"]

If we were playing any other team we would be getting blown out. Luckily we are not and maybe Saul can get it turned around at half.

It's not like we have not seen teams doubling Bjorkland off Brown all year. We need to kick out of the double and rotate passes fast.

Rust is showing on Braun, fall out of bounds, off his leg out of bounds, off his foot under the basket and one other one I can't remember right now. I would be willing to bet he shakes it off in the second and puts up some good numbers.

[DIBISON]

4 shots in 9 minutes! 11 turnovers! Terrible first half, Bison not ready to play!

Braun isolation. High percentage play for something positive to happen.

[AjaxTheMighty]

I never doubted we'd win this game, but that first half was soooo bad. We can't afford to play like that the rest of the way or that's all she wrote! Two halves of good-to-great ball will get this Bison team to the dance. On a side note: is anyone thinking about joining the Jacks club? Midco has lots of ads for that. Wondering if I should do it or if it's just superb advertising...I wonder if I get a free red ryder BB gun if I join. Aww, but I could shoot out my eye! Decisions!

I'm not that surprised by the lackadaisical start. Five weeks ago we beat this team 71-34. The players know that and all the talking by the coaches can't change that. I don't expect the same tomorrow night. There should be more focus from the opening tip

Agreed. Its all about the press clippings. Add in the success at Omaha and you have a formula for "its in the bag". Saw a bit of that on BV also.

Ya I know it was a isolation but I have never seen 3 people fight over the corner the way I have multiple times this year. Seems to happen when Felt is in the game trying to run off screens as it did tonight.

jesus....its gonna take 15 minutes to finish this last minute, and its a double digit game.

And we'll see you tomorrow night

[NDSUstudent]

Well we won, terrible first half and good second half. Braun looked a lot more confident with the ball and that was a big difference. Glad Marshall showed up for the 1st half otherwise it would have been really ugly.


I expect to see the team come out with some more fire tomorrow night. We won't get away with what we did tonight vs WIU.

[tony]

As I watched the last 10 minutes of the first half, I was wondering, "Wonder how bad the meltdown is on the board?" Answer: Not as bad as I thought!

Braun is incredible shape - a month off and he had more energy than anybody on the floor in the second half.

[NorthernBison]

IMO, that first half was a GOOD thing. I hope I'm right.

[GradBison]

Hopefully this game helps us avoid another slow start in the tourney. First tourney win since fab 4?

My heart goes out to the KC kid who lost his dad right before the game.

[NDSUstudent]

IMO, that first half was a GOOD thing. I hope I'm right.

Agreed, nice little wake up call for the guys. Can't take anything for granted.

[Hammersmith]

Saul is great in front of the mic as always. Probably the only coach who will threaten to filibuster his postgame presser this postseason.

[jimmyptubas]

I won't be able to watch tomorrow because of work but rest assured I will be following online. Also without asking I was given Tuesday off so, should they win tomorrow I will be set for the championship!

It is easy to forget how little he has played still at this point.

I felt that they were selling out to stop Braun first half. They should have just let them do that and pound it down low to Bjorkland. If I am Saul, that is my message next time a team does that; get the ball to the big guy and watch the other team pay for the no help defense they play on Braun.

They were doubling Bjorkland all night till he started getting the ball out a little further and facing them up. Bjorkland was doing a terrible job of passing out of the double the first half and when he did get it out we were not rotating the ball with passes fast enough to get back to the uncovered player. Braun did a good enough job of stopping himself (he had some terrible turn overs) the first half without KC having to pressure him more. He made up for it in the second half though when he started to get aggressive and take it to the rim.

[KSBisonFan]

Didn't see this mentioned anywhere but UMKC fired coach Matt Brown yesterday. Be thankful our program isn't in this kind of chaos.
