2/14 vs Oral Roberts

[bruinbison]

Up next, home game against ORU.

Oral Roberts (10-17, 6-6) defeats South Dakota Sunday 86-72, their 1st road game win of the season.
Played without Emmanuel Nzekwesi, described as being out “with a nagging ankle injury”. He is a 6’ 8” 240 JR, averages 14.9 ppg, 8.3 rpg and was a preseason 2nd Team All Summit League pick. Nzekwesi also missed the 1st game between the teams at Tulsa, which the Bison won 67-57.

NDSU favored by 7.5 ?? whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa??

also saw IPFW only favored by 3 AT Denver. seems too easy to gamble huh.


ORU will put up a fight, NDSU Should win and complete the 5 game win streak over the 4 worst teams in the conf.

Wow this is fun. Gotta defend better and distance ourselves.

Bison raining the 3 ball against ORU's zone. First 24 points came on 8 threes!

[DakotaOkie]

Is the weather bad in Fargo? Does not look like 500 people in the whole building judging by the TV shots.

[HoopsBison]

Id say around 1500....crowd pretty light.

Obanor, the freshman for ORU, is a stud. As well as we're playing, it feels like we should be up by more than 8 at half.

[KSBisonFan]

Dave is 2nd fastest NDSU coach to 90 wins. Erv is fastest.

[semobison]

46-38 Bison at the half. ORU shoots 60% and the Bison go 10-18 from behind the arc. Entertaining, offensive first half!

[HoopsBison]

One thing to note horn not on then bench? Wonder whats up with that.

Last team to hit a scoring drought will lose this game. Defensive stops are at a premium tonight. Wow.

The FM Beez got that in the middle of a blizzard.

[HoopsBison]

This has been a fun game. Vinnie, Jared, and Tyson with 18 each. Bison playing hard and finishing. Really hope this place is packed sat, lets get behind these kids.

Agree. Some pretty good offensive basketball by both teams. Fun to watch.

[HerdBot]

Hey, we won again

[semobison]

Samuelson also had 18 shooting 6-9 from behind the arc. Two big 3's after ORU had cut the lead to 3. Maybe his best performance as a Bison.
5 game win streak, 8-4 in the conference. Who should have believed this a month ago?

[Mr Meaty]

Great win and Omaha took down the bunnies

[NDSUstudent]

That was a solid win, now comes two huge games at the SHAC on back to back Saturday's. A Bison win over the Rabbits and Brookings might run out of Joose.

Per Kolpack,

Horn was not on the bench/game because of the flu.

[BisBison]

1,880 attend the game. Sad, this team deserves better support than that.

[EC8CH]

Big student turnout tonight. Not so much everyone else.

Another fun game though. Raining threes to start the game and the crowd did get into it down the stretch.

Goat rodeo trying to park as the wrestling was getting out of the dome at the same time.

[ndsubison1]

Looked way more confident shooting the ball tonight. Ball screen defense is a concern and not enough challenging shots.

Flatten, Jenkins played 40 min each. Daum 38 tonight.

[Professor Chaos]

Different guys have stepped up each game of this streak, which is great to see, but the one constant has been Vinnie Shahid. Clearly the team leader, playing at a super high level, and his attitude has been contagious.

Let's bring it for this team on Saturday, if they take that one the struggles of December and early January can be firmly put in the rearview mirror. It'll be a tall order though, 3 of the last 4 are against the top 3 teams in the league. This team can either build on this momentum or sink back into mediocrity depending on how it plays out. At worst though they'll be the #4 seed in Sioux Falls.

[ndsubison1]

Lets get that 3 seed. Omaha beat Sdsu tonight. Sdsus trio has been tearing it up

PFW plays Omaha on Saturday as well just to add to the importance of Saturdays game vs the Jacks. If we are able to win, we are gtd to pick up a game on not only SDSU but also the loser of the Omaha/PFW game.

That OT home loss vs PFW earlier in the year is just a killer right now.

Vinnie is the man. Leader on the floor. 100%

SDSU is not a deep team.

[Bison"FANatic"]

It was interesting as we actually looked like a basketball team. I reserve my judgement till these next few games as it is a tough stretch of games. Not going to be able to count on the 3 ball the way it was falling last night but we also were doing a pretty good job as the game went along getting into the paint and to the rim. It is amazing what happens when you have someone who can say this is my team, follow me and lets go win some games. Vinnie has been outstanding and we don't look like a rudderless ship the last 5 games. Ward and Eady have also looked good. Lets see what we do against some better competition.

[Mr Meaty]

Just when a person thinks you are done with the program, they suck you back in.... We can close strong at the end of the season and have good old Mo on our side in the conference tourney.

Team? Yes. Richman? No.

[southcliffbison]

Really like Ward's tenacity, especially on the offensive rebound. Showed no fear contesting for rebounds against those trees of ORU; and that little jump hook of his is difficult to defend.
Put the Summit League on notice, Bison, beat the Bunnies.

Let's not get to far ahead of ourselves, this winning streak has been against the bottom half of the conference. There's no doubt this team has talent but let's see how "Big Red" coaches the team through the last 4

There's no doubt this team has talent but let's see how "Big Red" coaches the team through the last 4We have won 5 straight. We are sitting 8-4 in the conference. If things fall correctly on Saturday we could be a game out of first. The team is playing confident and having fun. Its time our fan base does the same.

It's okay to enjoy this run, who knows how the last 4 will finish but. It just seems like a lot people (not directing this at you) are just waiting for a loss to say i told you so.

What a fun game to be at. The start of the game was fast and there wasn't a media TO until 10 minutes left in first half. The Bison made 8 three pointers in that 10 minute span. You could tell Jared S. is feeling better and has his strength back. He earned his minutes with 6 three pointers and 18 points!!

Quoted for truth, thanks!

[KSBisonFan]

SDSU is not a deep team.

For this reason, I hope we attack the rim to force some fouls. Going big would help and get Geu some minutes inside against Daum!
