Winnable game for the ladies. Go get another win.

[HerdBot]

7-9 in conference play. 2 conference overtime losses. Winnable Summit league tournament game. A 1 point loss to Wisconsin and another non conference OT loss at a MVC school. We lead in most conference games late. Good progress. We are so much better than we were and are trending upwards. The ladies are playing hard and fast. Problem is depth but that will come in time

[Mr Pep Band]

Winnable game against Denver, when was the last time the women won in Sioux Falls?

Looked it up. March 2009 when they were the 3 seed, beating 6 seed Western Ill.

our conference is putrid. we win one game pre conference against new Hampshire. This speaks volumes on how bad the conference really is. But at least we didnt lose 20 this year. Lets see next year...

This is crazy, hope the ladies can end the streak in SF! Denver hasn’t lost in over a month so it won’t be easy.

Our conference sent two teams to the NCAA tourney last year with one getting to the sweet 16 round. This year we have the (depending where you look) the 15/20 ranked team in the country. SDSU is very capable of taking down USD in the tourney and that would send two teams back to the NCAA tourney. Yes there are some poor teams in the league and we are one of them. But the improvement this is was welcomed and I only think better things are on the horizon. I know you did not like Walseth and the way she coached and the results she got. But if you cannot admit this year NDSU improved and is looking a lot better. We got blownout by 20+ most games last year year. This year only a couple of them. The rest of the games we were in and had chances to win. Things are improving.

I think Bisonette meant outside the 2 SD teams.

[Mr Meaty]

I think Bisonette meant outside the 2 SD teams.

You maybe correct on her statement. But who on here would have said NDSU women would be a 6 seed for the tourney this year at the end of last year? I would not have said that. So maybe there are 3 dumpster fires below us but at least we are not at the bottom. There were solid improvements made this season.

To be honest with you, I could almost swear the Bisonionette is a psuedo log in from El Chapo...
OH well, A difference has already been made, and with an off season to build on hopefully will continue.

One difference I noticed was that when the Alumni players took the court at the last game, there was a bunch, and seems to me that when Walseth was coaching
there was only about 5..that in itself is major. The support of Alumi players.

We are definitely a top heavy league. USD and SDSU are leaps and bounds ahead of everyone. It will take a few years or longer to catch up. But a baby step is by fielding a competitive team that is improving. So far, so good.

And why would that stop you from using a psuedo log in?? purple..

Thanks Chap... Some people read without absorbing content. Outside the SD's this conference is a righteous joke...

So, you want us to move to a better conference where we would be less competitive?

Im just stating a fact. how bad this conference is this year. Teams 3 to 9 are terrible. If you don't think so, you didnt go to any games.

[TAILG8R]

24-14 NDSU after first qtr. Team playing really well.

Ladies lead Denver 24-13 end of first. Great start!

[TAILG8R]

Now up by 12 in the second. Largest lead NDSU has ever had in the summit league tournament

[semobison]

Bison bigs in foul trouble already. 2nd quarter has been a struggle. Lead down to 8. Need to weather the storm.

[Hammersmith]

Bison not liking this basket. Only 3 points this quarter and the lead is down to 1. Can't wait for the quarter to end.

And there's a 3 for the Bison! Lead back to 4.

[semobison]

34-30 at the half.

[TAILG8R]

34-30 at the half. Hopefully with the big back in they can build a lead like the first qtr.

Zero respect from the Denver coach. Keep of the good work Bison. NDSU is in foul trouble, but everyone is filling in and stepping up.

[Hammersmith]

Another stuttery broadcast on ESPN+, but not nearly as bad as last night.

[TAILG8R]

Lots of fouls that will probably come back to haunt us in the 4th.

[Hammersmith]

Tied up at 47(I think), end 3Q.

And now the broadcast is as bad as last night.

[Hammersmith]

Tied at 66 with 45sec to go. Bison ball.

Come on ladies. Send both Denver teams home, cursing our name.

[Bison"FANatic"]

Wait a second I thought we only ever played 1 game in Sioux Falls?????? What is this second game stuff.

Way to go girls and coach!

[semobison]

Biggest win for this program in over a decade!

[Bisonator98]

Way to go ladies! Congrats to the girls and Coach Collins! Hell of a job this year!:bowdown:

[Bison03]

Pretty amazing stuff. Playing with house money now!! Might as well beat the Jacks at “home” tomorrow!

[Mr Pep Band]

FINALLY!! First Tourney win since 2009!! Had to fight to win this game and they show great potential for future years!

[HerdBot]

Awesome job ladies and coaches! I fully expect a decisive loss to SDSU but like Collins said we're playing with house money

[StL Bison Fan]

11 years to the day. A win.
Things are looking up

[HerdBot]

Odds of that is super low, but basketball is a weird sport and all it takes is for some guards to get red hot at the right time. I would be happy if it is a competitive game. SDSU flat out has better players, more depth, and will have a home crowd. Not a knock on us, they are just vastly superior

Not sure who may have been out for the Jack's that game.

[Buffalo.Rider]

Congrats to the women's ballers and to Coach Collins who has really done a great job with them. Restoring morale, building confidence, teaching them how to play the game physically and mentally. Great win over Denver.

(on an aside: gobison.com … the Bison "stun" Denver. Hmm … really. Media overhype? They split their games during the regular season, each taking one win, and Denver was a 15-14 team coming into the tourney. This is hardly a stunner. It is, however, a great win.)

I would say it is a stunning win. Shocking would be another good word. Maybe surprising. It's been over a decade since they won a postseason game. Collins has this team on an upward trajectory - congrats to the Bison women's team for winning their first postseason game in 11 years!

[HerdBot]

Bison playing really hard but they just dont have the bigs.
I will say that Cobbins looks like a big time player and shes a freshman

I said earlier this year she was the only one on NDSU's squad that looked like she fit when playing USD and SDSU this year.

[ndsubison1]

Lol at obvious fouls not being called.

[HerdBot]

Ladies showing some pride!

If that's an indication of Jorys ability to recruit, I'm impressed

Halftime... Like coach Collins said he was going to tell them to have fun..go Bison

Rough end to this 1st quarter but they are looking pretty good again. These South Dakota schools just play really good ball

[JohnnyExtacy]

Collins is real look y a good coach. I dont think he lasts 3 seasons here. Someone is going to come in grab him.

How does SDSU keep their coach?

[HerdBot]

Game went as expected. We came out with a ton of energy but ultimately we couldn't compete physically with their size or depth. Good season and some progress

[Bisonator98]

Pretty much as expected today but the program is on the right track under Jory, really impressed with the job he did this season. Looking forward to watching the progress as we go from worst to first and I think Jory can do just that eventually. Shout out to Rylee Nudell for sticking it out thru some terrible years and helping lead the turn around as a senior!

[bisoneer]

Good job to the Bison women and Coaches this year!!! Looking to see this continued improvement next year!

[DePereBisonFan]

Is there a chance that SDSU gets an at-large bid, or is the Summit a one-bid league this year?

[Mr Meaty]

Not a great chance. If they slid into the field would be 15-16 seed area.

[bruinbison]

South Dakota up to a 6 seed in ESPN’s March 10 bracketology,
no sign of SDSU

[Mr Pep Band]

Agree, IF SDSU does get an At-Large Bid to the Tourney, it will be a 16 seed i think. One of the last few in as well.

Big IF though.

This is too bad, I think they are good enough to be a top 64 team. And with USD is ranked #16 overall, wouldn't it make sense for them to be a 4 seed?

Hey does anyone know why Brewster was let go even with a year on his contract?
