That is a pretty serious OOC schedule. 1 B1G, 2 Big 12 and a MVC.

[roadwarrior]

And no Valley City or Mayville!

[TAILG8R]

And no Valley City or Mayville!It's like we have a real DI program with a real DI coach.

Heck ya! Get it going the right direction! Probably gonna be another year or two before we can be right there with USD and SDSU.

I tend to agree with this but think how crazy that sounds. a couple years ago it felt like we were a decade or more away from being anywhere near SDSU/USD. I believe the women's team can create a good fanbase and following if they can replicate any of the things the South Dakota schools have done. When I was in grade school and Jr High the women's team was the one to watch. I'm looking forward to the excitement around this team coming back.

Heaven alone and the SMU transfer along with Cobbs gives NDSU 3 bonafide stars finally, if recruiting gets better next couple years they should be a solid #3 in the summit

I think we are already a solid #3 in the Summit. I think with a few more solid recruits for some depth we'll be able to at least be competitive with and challenge the south dakota schools. Jory is doing an amazing job thus far

Jory knows what can be accomplished at NDSU & the women’s team is on the way up

[runtheoption]

I know the men's team generates it's own interest, but if this team gets back to being a conference leader like the 80's, 90's, early 2000's, it would be so much fun to have Summit League men's & women's double headers.

[roadwarrior]

The Nebraska game disappeared from the schedule.

[Elephants Dream?]

Road, I noticed it was gone last week, darn.
If someone is looking for a road-trip, I'd recommend Ames, Iowa.
An easy drive on the Interstate, Hilton Coliseum is nice, with ample parking, and Ames has good food.

[NESDBison]

It would be interesting to see the bison play the gophers! I was thinking that right after the NE game disappeared. Jory mentioned they are still working on a finding a game for Thanksgiving wkd on bison 1660.
I also think NDSU wins that game.

The4 summit was horrible last year and this year looks worse. Our team should do muuuuuch better this year...

[El_Chapo]

NDSU wednesday game cancelled at Nebraska? is this because of the Men's tournament there? weird.
dont know why they couldnt fit that game in at some time.
ps Congrats Katie Lorentz (Johnson) for being color analyst on womens BB this year for Radio. if you are on here, congrats to you ;)

Gotta put a big *
next to this post. Summit was a 2 team NCAA bid league last season.
Has that ever been done before?
(by the Summit - women’s or men)
SDSU a 6 seed, USD an 8 seed.
But sure, the Summit as a whole......NDSU improving will be good not just for NDSU, but also for the Summit...

After the top two teams last year the rest of the league was putrid If you watched then you would see that the talent level dropped off the cliff lastyear

I was asked if the Wednesday night game vs. No. Iowa will be free to watch?

Looks like gobison.com was updated to say that it’ll be on Midco Sports Network 2. Really hoping ESPN+ picks it up otherwise I’m SOL.

FYI it looks like they updated the whole schedule with TV/radio info

Double edit: The game is showing up on the schedule for ESPN3

[Elephants Dream?]

Thanks 92.
There will be no fans allowed for the Sat. & Sun. games vs. Green Bay.
GB said they wouldn't come if any fans were in attendance.
I think ESPN+ will have those games, but I'm not positive.

The Saturday has been added to the ESPN3 schedule. The Sunday game has not yet, but it's possible that it will be added within the next day or two...

Any idea what to expect for tonight’s game?

Can’t imagine there are any spreads available. We should be much improved, what do we know about UNI’s women bball team?

[Bison Fan Forever]

Ok I know this is a long shot but... UNI beat Creighton by 3 and SDSU beat Creighton by 20. I think this is a winnable game for us. I am just excited to think we may have a chance at winning games instead of going into games knowing we would lose.
Cant wait to watch tonight to see how we compare and the new additions to the team. We wont lose by 32 tonight !!

[NDSU92]

7 minutes in, and man... we look good

Apparently we’re super deep?? We’re rotating like 10 ladies and everyone playing with loads of confidence

[runtheoption]

1st quarter done...up 25-15. Strong start!

[NDSU92]

25-15 Bison end of first quarter

I’m sure UNI thought we would get rolled like we did like last year. NDSU absolutely controlling everything right now

[TAILG8R]

Looks like UNI was picked 3rs in the preseason MVC poll.

17 point win over what should be a decent MVC team.

Not to get too knee-jerky, but these ladies can play ball.

did all the womens basketball threads pre 2019 get dumped?

looked good, Heaven is a star. Marie Olson got in foul trouble and I like Hopkins scoring ability.

we know that cobbins can ball from last year.

Great win. We may not be at the caliber of the SD schools, but this program is going somewhere positive...finally.

All of these things mentioned here were so evident. It was a HUGE improvement over what we've seen for far too long. Reneya Hopkins was so fun to watch...she has an energy and quickness that was blowing everyone away last night. Hopkins and Hamling on the floor at the same time could end up being a heck of a combo. Gaislerova was quiet most of the night, but stepped up in the 4th quarter when we needed that senior leadership. Dietz's was pretty good last year, but her footwork and strength appeared to be improved. She was pretty unstoppable on the low block. The team defense seemed so much improved too, which probably has a lot to do with Coach Collins bringing in more athletic ladies.

Am I too excited after only 1 game? I flipping hope not.

Yeah Reneya is awesome. I swear within one minute last night she had a block, a steal, an assist and a 3 pointer.

I have no idea how Jory got this team turned around in this short of time, and during this crazy off-season. We’ll find out this weekend how much of last night came from UNI underestimating us.

I thought we punched in UNI in the nose in the first 5 minutes of the game, and kept it up through the 1st half. I was waiting for UNI to punch back, but they never really were able to close the gap. It was a beautiful thing to watch as NDSU has some moxy compared to recent years. I thought our depth was pretty strong last night. There was just as good of a chance (I thought) that we might push it to 25 vs. them closing it to 5.

UNI looks like a really good squad, but I'd put money on us to beat them again in a rematch. Also, you have to like our chances to be a top 3 or 4 in the Summit. Add in a couple more pieces next year, and we could goto the top. This free eligibility year might benefit us more than most.

[Bisonator98]

It's amazing what a competent coach can do, congrats Jory and thank you for resurrecting this program!

[dufferole]

I am a Midco subscriber and record the Bison men's and women's games when on. The UNI game was the 1st game in a loooong time that I didn't fast forward through a lot of the game, just the commercials. It was fun to watch.

[imabison]

WDAY sports just said NDSU starts the conference schedule with the UND game on Dec 16th, but isn't it just a game and not considered a conference game?

You are correct. Summit ball doesn’t start until after the new year and is back to back nights only

This is a awesome start to the year for us.

[roadwarrior]

Bison ranked #16 on the College Insider mid major poll.

[TAILG8R]

Bison ranked #16 on the College Insider mid major poll.

Well, that is pretty damn cool. Summit with 3 ranked teams. Wouldn't it be nice if year in, year out(week in/week out) 3 teams from the Summit were consistently ranked in the mid-major poll? I know the SDs are already there and established but with 3 teams with solid rankings you would think the Summit being a two bid league would happen more years than not.

[reformedUNDfan]

I think the Summit being a multibid league is something that can definately happen. Maybe this year.

Thinking a little bit on it, if NDSU can get to the state of having the kind of support it had in the 1990's, what kind of salary could this job support? I see major athletic department salaries in the half million range. I think NDSU can afford to hold on if this goes well.

And would also have happened last year. Both USD and SDSU would've made the tournament if it happened last year. We will be at least a 2 bid....if not 3 if NDSU pulls off a huge upset in the Summit League tourney for this years tourney. That's very wishful thinking but 2 will be a no brainer again this year.

That was disappointing. Its never as good as it seems and never as bad as it seems

Not sure, but I think it involved a handbasket...

[TAILG8R]

They were not ready to play this game and everything and everyone looks confused and messy at best. Add to that when they have been able to drive to the basket they are missing layups.

[HerdBot]

Scrappy finish to force OT. Lots of heart

[tcbison]

I like this lineup that finished the 4th quarter and are playing in OT. They play well together and are agressive on offense.

And the ball handlers can see an opportunity to drive and even bigger can capitalize.

Just Crazy that we won this game! We shot awful, we’re outplayed and out hustled almost all game. I almost turned it off when we were down 10 with 4 minutes left in regulation. Hopkins came up big down the stretch.

Hopkins is the real deal for sure. Can't wait to see her progress in her career.

[HerdBot]

Cobbins had the best stats, but Reyna Hopkins is my player of the game. Tenacious D and scrappy play won that game. She seems to have unlimited energy. Fun to watch

[BisonVifte]

Who would have believed, by the way that game was going.

[TAILG8R]

You could say they had no business winning that game but they never gave up and when the door cracked open they kicked that sucker down. A great lesson learned for a team trying to build a winning culture and turn a program around.

[HerdBot]

I'm pissed I didn't go. Almost went to my first game in years.

[Loud and Proud Bison fan]

Great win Ladies. These are the games you must win to get fans back. Sure conference games against Omaha matter, but to get casual fans back, you need to beat the fawkers.

[tony]

I only saw the OT... HAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA!

[Gully]

apparently you have excellent timing! I was out and about and wasn't able to watch....which is probably fine because I probably would have turned it off.

[runtheoption]

The NCAA got their heads out...Kadie Deaton had her waiver granted yesterday, and played last night! This year keeps getting better for the ladies. Way to battle after a horrible start.

[Bison Bridge Guy]

Free throws were huge to keep us in the game - we shot in the mid 80's I think. UND's offense was kinda fun to watch - it created a lot of great looks for layups where our offense did not for most of game. Refs called way too many fouls (lots of minor contact fouls IMO)- I think both teams were in the bonus in every quarter.

My first women's game in a very long time, not even sure when I went to one last. I went to NDSU in the 90s so got to see some great women's basketball - hopefully the program continues to improve so interest ramps up. Despite the poor first half, I'll go watch them again - lot of good players that play hard.

[roadwarrior]

Three players off the bench that made a big impact: Hopkins, Schulte and Deaton

[BisonVifte]

I have liked the bench play so far.

[HerdBot]

Bench has been better than the starters at times

Thankfully... we were 0-16 in the 1st quarter... and WON. That's nuts. In years past we would have lost that game by 50

You missed a good one, I went for the first time since I was a student which has been about 15 years now. I'm not sure if there were nerves to finally play in front of fans or what the deal was but there was a lid on the bucket in that first quarter and for the entire game for a few of the girls. We got plenty of good looks and just couldn't get shots to fall. The encouraging thing was watching this team continue to fight and battle and believe they could come back. Like has been said already before Jory was here I think after that first quarter we mail it in and lose big. Just a new winning mindset on this team, it wasn't pretty but a W is a W. I will definitely be attending more women's games this year, they are fun to watch.

[NDSU92]

Yes we are super deep. Probably the most shocking aspect of this team to me. Just awesome

[roadwarrior]

35% of the scoring so far this season is from the bench.

[Gully]

Schulte is going to be a hell of a player before she's done.

[Elephants Dream?]

That is a very nice win. The team just looks so much more athletic than in past years. Top 3 in the Summit for sure and if things fall right, could compete with USD and SDSU. And they're very young.

[NDSU92]

KU with the ol’ 2-17 from 3pt lol

[NDSUBowler]

I don't see a loss on the schedule the rest of the year!

[Herd]

A good win . . . However KU pick last in the preseason poll, so there’s that.

Still a lot of boneheaded plays, ie the inbounds turnover in the last minute that was coached to me in the peewees. Need to play smarter.

Lots of depth on the 2nd team. Deaton, Hopkins, Schultz off the bench bringing the juice.

[El_Chapo]

Heaven with 14
Marie Olson with 11 and 8 reb (3-3 on 3 pointers)

very balanced after that.

11 turnovers is very good

They don't get SDSU and USD until Febuary 19th & 26th? that's a good thing.

KU may have been picked last in the preseason poll but they were coming off a win against Oklahoma and throttled ORU by 41 a couple of weeks ago. This was a big win. Still need to clean a few things up but Deaton playing has only increased this teams ceiling this year, make no mistake about it, these girls are for real and only going to get better!

They haven't played a game since the 10th and we had the long ass trip. They beat Oklahoma and Oklahoma just beat USD. I never do the comparative scores, but we're obviously a decent team

I’d rather get them early, let them see us before we’re in tourney shape.

At the end of the day you may be right. Whoever finishes first has huge advantage. Very difficult for any of USD, SDSU and NDSU to beat the other two on back to back nights.

Not sure NDSU are in the same category as the other two. It be easier for one of them to win back to back nights than NDSU to do it.

KU may have been picked last in the preseason poll but they were coming off a win against Oklahoma and throttled ORU by 41 a couple of weeks ago. This was a big win. Still need to clean a few things up but Deaton playing has only increased this teams ceiling this year, make no mistake about it, these girls are for real and only going to get better!

Oklahoma lost by 10 to Kansas, but only dressed 6 players for that game due to Covid related issues.

[El_Chapo]

Best NDSU womens' start since 2004 (26-1) but only 1 D1 game on schedule that year

[Loud and Proud Bison fan]

A good win . . . However KU pick last in the preseason poll, so there’s that.

Still a lot of boneheaded plays, ie the inbounds turnover in the last minute that was coached to me in the peewees. Need to play smarter.

Lots of depth on the 2nd team. Deaton, Hopkins, Schultz off the bench bringing the juice.

Way to be Debbie Downer. This team is young and exciting, and bringing back fans. Just two years ago we were struggling beating Mayville. The team is 1 win short of tying the 2016-17 team, 4 from tying the 17-18 team and 2 away from tying the 18*19 teams in wins. Think of that, and we have yet to play a conference game and had a shortened non conference

I was the one that said we'd finish 3rd in the Summit, and that this was easily the best team in the DI era. I said that before the season started, not after we beat UNI and GB twice.

We had a great game vs UNI, and good game vs. Kansas, and terrible game vs. North Dakota. I thought we had completely turned the page on stinking it up, but that UND game proved otherwise. While we are much improved, we are also completely capable of melting down too. I guess most teams are, but I expected a 20 point win vs. UND, and we deserved to lose by 10 if it werent for getting every break in the last minute of that game.

Just saying we need to pump the breaks a little.

FYI according to NDSU women’s bball Facebook page both games against Western Illinois this weekend are available for free steam on the western Illinois athletics website.

For what it’s worth I believe the men are also showing as a free steam as well. Having seen previous WIU productions in the past, do not have high expectations.

WIU is 17-10 in the all-time series versus NDSU with a 10-2 mark inside Western Hall and winning the last four of five.


Looks like a good time for the Bison to narrow that W/L record...
WIU’s only W so far this season was against Bellarmine 79-57.
The ‘Necks are a veteran group, however, starting 3 juniors and 2 seniors.

Can’t wait for these weekend games. Ironically, Massey predicts a 74-68 Bison victory. Same exact score as the men’s prediction. I’ll take it!

[NDSU92]

Wow. Out of the 8 conference games schedule for this weekend (four women’s doubleheaders), only five will be played. One UND game cancelled, ORU and Omaha weekend cancelled. Probably indicative of how the season will go.

[NDSU92]

Down 29-17 after Q1. Shots not falling and WIU shooting 70%. Only 3 turnovers so that’s good. You can tell we’re probably the better team but discrepancy in shooting is the issue. We are also struggling with WIU’s increased pace.

WIU stream shows no clock and score is just a video feed of an spreadsheet that gets updated about 30 seconds late. Only one camera, no replays, listened to commentator for about 4 seconds before muting.

[NDSU92]

We are playing like shit. Worse than most games in previous years. Down 22 to a team with one D1 win against a winless Atlantic Sun team. Hopefully an eye opener.

[phxbison]

Beat in every phase of the game by a 1-7 team. They seemed to beat us to every loose ball and almost every rebound, not to mention all the turnovers. Surprised we came as close as we did ! Tomorrow is another day and hopefully we will play much better.

[dufferole]

Gaislerova, Cobbins, and Deaton went 1 for 20 from the floor. That is some serious brick laying.

[Bisonator98]

Really bad loss, seemed like they had no energy and definitely didn't shoot very well. Gaislerova didn't score a point, when's the last time that happened?

I’m assuming you’re talking about this year. With everything going on, I’ll take what I can get. Next year I hope we can get a conference-wide deal so I can pick my streaming app and roll with it. The combo of ESPN3, ESPN+ and Midco streaming is no way to do business.

So glad to see this program moving up in the world! Congrats to Coach Collins, the players and parents for pushing forward. Collins has it figured out, go with depth and shoot the ball and play D. Hope we can keep him in Fgo! Mild winters like this should help and of course so does WINNING!

[NDSU92]

Showed some flashes of how good we can be when we play at our best. Fully expect us to repeat from last weekend and boat race Omaha tomorrow night. We need Marie Olson to stay out of foul trouble long enough to get into the game flow. She is going to be great if the game slows down for her.

[Gully]

It wasn't always pretty, but they gutted out a win.

I have a dumb question...why do the women play quarters in college ball? I can't really think of a reason men's and women's bb would have different rules.

[Gully]

I found this:

The NCAA Women’s Basketball Rules Committee, which initially recommended the rule change, believes the four-quarter format will enhance the flow of the game. The change also was endorsed by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Board of Directors.

Teams will now reach the bonus and shoot two free throws on the fifth team foul in each quarter. Previously, teams reached a one-and-one bonus on the seventh team foul of each half and reached the double bonus (two shots) on the 10th team foul.

In the four-quarter format, team fouls reset to zero at the start of each quarter. However, if a team reaches the bonus in the fourth quarter, that team would remain in the bonus during any additional overtime periods.


I'm not sure I understand. Are they saying the game will flow more smoothly because there will be less time spent in Bonus and therefore the game will move along more quickly?

I actually kind of like four quarters, but that's just because of familiarity of how it was playing as a kid. It just seems silly to have a rule difference like that between the men's and women's game.

Total thread drift here but....I remember at one point the defense couldn't advance a fumble in DII football, but you could in DI. This rule had a major impact on a Bison Sioux game in Grand Forks in the late 80s or early 90s. That rule difference made even less sense. I wonder if TDs in DIII were worth 11 points? :)

I'll check with friends who were officiating then and see if they remember. The kicking team can't advance a kick and on 4th down only the person who fumbled can advance for the offense. I'm not sure if the 4th down fumble rule existed in the late 80s/really 90s.

One additional noteworthy change in WBB is where the ball is put in play after team A scores and a TO is called by the team B. Instead of putting the ball in play underneath Team B's defensive basket after the TO, it is awarded to team B along the sideline in team B's frontcourt. Women's coaches really like this rule. Men's basketball doesn't have it.

Well it's been a long time so perhaps I'm not remembering it correctly, but I could have sworn that was the case. I recall it as NDSU fumbled, UND picked it up an returned it for a TD but it was called back and placed 1st and 10 where UND recovered. Everyone was confused and the explanation given was "you can't advance a fumble in DII football". Like I said I might be wrong but I think I have a pretty vivid memory of it.

[Gully]

I found this.....which doesn't really answer our question but is related. The timing might be about right. Perhaps when this was changing DI changed first and DII a bit later? Or maybe I'm remembering this old rule and falsely attributed it to DII vs. DI?

A rule change approved by the NCAA Football Rules Committee and will allow defensive players to advance fumbles no matter where they recover the ball. The old rule allowed a defensive player to advance a fumble only if it occurred beyond the line of scrimmage.

The NCAA said the change was made to improve the balance between the offense and the defense and to make plays involving fumbles easier to officiate. It does not apply to missed laterals and pitchouts, which are considered backward passes. It also does not apply to muffed kicks.

I was there and it was really hard to watch and then make us wait for 45 min. before the Men's game that was pathetic. Bison women were ICE cold but still could have won at the end. Missing free throws and dumb turnovers at crunch time, wow, we would be running killers and shooting free throws well after a 2 hr or 3 hr. practice. Denver players had attitudes too, I guess with no fans there you have to find energy some how, even if its with your mouth and facial expressions. I hope these ladies get some food in the locker room after the game as Denver's team was waiting for the bus right after and you could see they looked hungry.

Definitely a young team still learning. Not going to win games turning the ball over 20 times. This is definitely a team that relies on shooting effectively, when shots aren't falling they don't yet have a back up plan. I expect as they have under Jory that they'll come out tomorrow with a better plan and get the W but need to be better at adjusting their gameplan in the flow of a game. They will learn, all the confidence in the world in Jory and this team, if you woulda told me at the beginning of the season we'd be 11-4 at this point I woulda been thrilled. Just gotta clean some things up, talent is there.

Yep, still super impressed with the season so far. These are the growing pains of a program turning the corner and becoming good/great program. They were up 2/3 with just a few minutes to go. Learning how to close out games is something all growing teams have to learn.

You have to really like the roster that Jory has built with NDSU women's basketball. You have to like the SO class of Cobbins, Olson, Hamling, Deaton. That will be around for 3 more years after this year. I see that class winning conference title by the time they leave.

Can't play like we have a few Fri nights or we will get blown out by 30+. If we play up the the high caliber we've seen from this team we should be able to stay with them and possibly pull out a win. Winning 1 of the next 4 would sure be nice and would help build momentum and excitement around the program.

Yep. This team is either really really good or shitty. The shitty version can't show up vs an opponent of this caliber. If the really really good version shows up, could be a competitive game.

Talented but inexperienced teams like our ladies often seem to play to the level of their opponent. Hence the head scratching close games. Good news for us the last four opponents are the best we’ll face all year.

I just really wish we had Marie, not that she really did everything for us from a production standpoint necessarily, she just has the talent and level of swagger needed for games like these next four.

Good news for next year’s team, just like recently mentioned that the men’s team has Rocky returning for a 5th year

Two really good Summit League women's basketball players are coming back in 2022. I'm told #NDSU's Emily Dietz and #SDSU's Tylee Irwin will return to their teams next season. Each played as true freshmen in 2018.

We haven't always necessarily played shitty but this team relies a fair amount of their offensive production from the 3 point line and when we shoot poorly from there we tend to struggle to find other ways to score. If we shoot well it will stay close and we could sneak out a win, if we shoot poorly it could get ugly fast.

Very interesting game today!
SDSU is 17-2 (10-0) and has 3, yes 3, wins over Top-20 teams this season.
Can the Bison hang in the game with the 23/25 ranked SDSU?
NDSU did well in Brookings last season, keeping the game within reach at 60-52, but the return game in Fargo was not within reach......
That was followed by a 20 point loss to the Jacks during the Summit League Tournament - after beating Denver in the 1st round.

Am expecting a big game from Jackrabbit Tylee Irwin (Wahpeton)
as she is back in her home state and will want to do well.
When she was in high school there was no way NDSU could go head-to-head in a recruiting battle with SDSU. Now there might actually be a chance with 2nd year Head Coach Collins.
Irwin is a senior but Dom has reported she will return to Brookings for another year - I don’t think she ever redshirted.

Down 7 at half to the Jacks. Really fun game to watch. Let SDSU on an 11-0 run but other than that it’s been largely back and forth.

Really gritty game, lots of players on the floor and hard fouls. Looks like a rivalry game. Love the intensity.

[blackdiamond2]

We need to start really pushing the ball on SDSU misses! We need some easier transition buckets like the last couple of possessions before the SDSU defense is setup.

First ladies game I've watched in a couple years, HEAVEN IS REAL!!!!

8 point loss is a moral victory since we usually lose by 30+
At least we know the gap could be getting a little closer

[TAILG8R]

Bison women don't look out of place with the Jacks. SDSU at times is a bit more athletic in D.

Great to see so many players getting time against SDSU in these games. Will pay dividends in the next couple years.

Is anyone else unable to get this on ESPN 3 stream ?Did you try more than once? First time I tried for the game last night it didn't work, second time was the charm.

Yah, i've tried several different times. I watched both games on ESPN + last night and then went and watched the UNI - SDSU game. Lost the feed at start of the 4th quarter and could'nt get it back. Having same problem today. Oh well I'll watch it on my computer.

We're going to be really good. We lost 2 but SDSU is a top 25 team. In years past we were non competitive..They are better than us but we are improving and are showing flashes. I'm happy so far. Baby steps

[oldmantutters]

Can you imagine what this team would look like with Irwin? Oh well, love the progress. Let's get to the tourney and shock everyone

Why would we want players from ND on any Bison team. They dont have stars and we should be recruiting the big time players /purple

Thank Walseth for that one and DeHoff for laying the foundation. At the time I could understand why she went to SDSU

That bring said I'm loving the progress. SDSU is a really really good team and the Bison showed they belong on the same floor as them. Hopefully we can hit on some of those recruiting battles moving forward. And in the meantime let's make some noise at the Summit League tourney!

Maybe she should grad transfer to NDSU next year, wouldn't that be wild?
