What are they ranked on the dolphin site? ;D ;D

Seriously, WDAY Sports will be live at TCU (but not televising the game)- with a live preview broadcast from TCU on the 6:00 news and a live review on the 10:00 news.

TCU plays East Carolina tomorrow but they had a recent loss to #12 DePaul on the road, 84-81. *

TCU will be an NCAA tournament team.

I don't know what they are in the "dolphin poll"- but they do have an RPI of #30

TCU sounds like it is going to be a chore for the Bison. It will be a good measuring stick for how far they need to go before they are pushing for a bid in the tournament.

Hopefully TCU is overlooking the Bison - check out the last paragraph in the recap of their last game.

Lady Frogs Roll Past Pirates, 66-41 (http://gofrogs.collegesports.com/sports/w-baskbl/recaps/022005aaa.html)

I am pretty sure that they know about NDSU, though, since NDSU beat Cincy, a conference foe of TCU. Anyway it'll be fun taking my daughter to see the Bison play in Fort Worth. I love DI!

Cincinnati is the one common opponent between the teams. TCU won at Cincy 68-51. NDSU won at Cincy 75-67.

Based on these scores, I think it will be closer than we think. Amy will have the group ready for this one. This is basically the national title game for the ladies.

I want to see an undefeated season. This should get some attention in the DI ranks, you would think if NDSU can pull off the upset in Fort Worth.

PTS on WDAY is discussing the Bison-TCU game tonight. Most announcers believe the Bison can keep it close (15 points) but believe it is unrealistic to expect them to win. TCU has been in the Top 25 poll at times and have a player of the year candidate.

The coach of TCU was formerly the coach at Western Missouri. The BISON just happened to eliminate them twice from the elite 8 in the 90s.

I think this is going to be an important game for the Jacks fans to fallow up on. If we win, throughout all of the hype, talk, etc, then that really changed things for the game on Saturday. If we lose, then the Jacks will automatically assume we are on a loosing streak. Albiet, would be true enough since it would potentialy be the longest losing streak of the year :o

My only concern is the Bison getting out to a good start. It seems they have struggled in the first half moreso than the second in games this year.

I expect the Bison to play a very good game tomorrow night. They have had this game circled on their calendars all year. This is the game they have wanted and it is their national championship game. The only bad thing is if the Bison do win, which I think is a possibility, they will have a let down against SDSU and that could be their loss for the season. We have a great system with talented players and alot of depth. I expect them to win if they shoot well. I think they are expecting a zone out of TCU tomorrow night. I say Bison win by 5. :o

Our record shows we desverve to be there. *You should do well with our schedule if you expect to play with TCU. *We have to come out ready to play. *Against the weaker teams we have often started slow.

The BISON could win. *I think they can play with them. *I say BISON by 1.

Come on guys I know it's just your second DI game but your building TCU up to be this invincible Top 25 powerhouse. USC beat TCU by one 71-70 in Ft. Worth and the Jacks lost to USC in Los Angeles 66-59. I don't think with the way the Bison are playing this would be an upset of the likes of the 1980 Olympic USA over USSR Hockey game!

What are you talking about jackguy? You don't think it would be a huge upset if the bison beat a ncaa tournament team on the road in its first year of D-I? I bet the TCU faithfull would disagree. I just hope our girls make a game of it and I think they can if they play well. GO Katie!

JACKGUYII
02-22-2005, 05:29 PM
No I don't. The Jacks women's team has proven their is not that big of gap between the top teams in DII and DI. The Bison really impressed me in Brookings and I think they will handle TCU. I also think Saturday night will be a very good game with SDSU starting shooting guard (Brooke D.) back in the lineup after being out injured and not playing against NDSU.

greenandgold01
02-22-2005, 05:38 PM
Jackguy, even if it isn't as important, like you claim, this is the best team we play all year.

The team will train for this game like it's the national title game. That, I can guarantee.

I don't think DII has ever seen a player like Irvin. If I were making a line for a vegas sportsbook I would guess TCU would be a 12-15 pt favorite. Jackguy, can we expect a large following up to Fargo this weekend from SD?

They better get their tickets in advance. Everything i've heard says they are selling out. I still have to go pick mine up today...

Front page of the FF this morning all about NDSU @ TCU, plus another half a page on D3. IMHO this is a big game for everyone here familiar with women's bball.

I'm on the fence as all this sellout talk has scared me. I made the trip to Fargo and Grand Forks last year. I'm not sure the Jacks can grab a sweep in Fargo like last year. The men certainly don't have the same talent. I will be curious to see after Saturday and the Jacks starting 5 back intact who the Bison women will rank as their toughest opponent of the year. My money is on the Jacks (surprise).

I think JackGuyII is right! TCU is a respectable DI team. Almost top 25, but not quite. They've beat a couple that are currently in the top 25: #16 Georgia 64-63 and #9 Michigan State 80-75. They have also lost a couple. Just a week or so ago they lost to DePaul 84-81 in OT. That one cost them their Conference championship. More significantly, they lost to #6 Tennessee 82-55. That one cost them sustainable top 25 standing.
What are they now, 35? Still not bad.

Occasionally, on a good night, their shooting % can be up as high as 40.
Most nights, it's between 20-30%. They are definitely beatable. It is also possibly true that players like Irvin are hard to come by in DII. They are hard to come by in DI. But it takes a full team effort to beat a good team, and I think it will take a full team effort to beat the Bison.

It's hard to say by the accompanying article why Tennessee was so successful. They shot well (FGA 44% to 30% by TCU). The article said a big difference was TN's passing ability. But they did not shut Irvin down. She had a big night--21 points, 16 rebounds, 7 blocked shots. She didn't perform well in FGA, but she made up for it at the free throw stripe.

TCU is definitely a beatable team. A win by the Bison would not be on the order of 1980's Miracle on Ice. But it would seem like it. Because NDSU is regarded as a DII wannabe. The TCU athletic article preceding the one linked above indicated NDSU is a DII powerhouse. The sports information director didn't even know NDSU is DI. The rest of the article had the tone of ho-hum, another night, another game.

That oversight was corrected in the current article, however, which attributes a great deal of respect to NDSU. Because their coach knows better. He knows Ruley and he knows the caliber of team he's up against. We will probably see in the opening minutes of the game whether or not he was able to convince the TCU players of the respectability of the Bison.

Should the Bison win, they will gain DI attention, and start to earn respect.

But win or lose tonight, it just could be that Ruley and her team will look back on the season and say the toughest team they played was SDSU.

GAMETRACKER will carry the game (although lately it has been suspect.) *It typically starts slightly after gametime, but when it is really on, it shows stats before the *audio broadcast. *Here's the link:

Click this link and then click on any of the three other women's games. When the gametracker for that game pops up, click scoreboard and it will flash to five games one of these being NDSU-TCU.

I don't think with the way the Bison are playing this would be an upset of the likes of the 1980 Olympic USA over USSR Hockey game!


OT:

I have to ask. *Which do you think is a bigger upset? *Douglas over Tyson
USA over Russia in 1980 Olympics?

How come the game is not on WDAY? I have the game on over on the TCU radio network which you can access on the TCU athletic website. Comment by the lady commentator is the Bison don't have the athleticism. I heard the same comments from Kentucky announcer and we came back to beat them. It's still early and the Bison will shake off the nerves.

Somewhat outclassed- I think NDSU could play better, but TCU is definintely playing A LOT better than NDSU tonight. NDSU just isn't taking care of the the little things.

TCU should have alot more points than they do with all the steals they have. The Bison must have about 50 turnovers tonight. I think Krenz's injury messed them up a bit and they didn't control the ball well. I look forward to Amy's interview after the game. I don't think she'll be very happy because I have a feeling the turnovers were partly the result of missed assignments. I expect them to play much better against SDSU but this has to shake their confidence some. It does let them know they need to recruit more athletic players, much like the men's team.

I'm sorry to hear Krenz will be out. The Jacks were without Brooke Dickmeyer against the Bison and it's not easy when you lose a key player. Regardless should be a great game in front of a full house!

BisBison
02-23-2005, 01:48 PM
I'll go out on a limb here and contend the lady Bison aren't as bad as they showed last night. They just are not used to that level of competition. You can't play the Valley City States of the world all season long and then think that prepares you for a team the caliber of TCU. They are faster, bigger and better coached. The things that have been working all year just don't work against the really good team. Next year, with consistant D-I level competition I'm sure we'll be fine.

silkamilkamonico
02-23-2005, 05:09 PM
Didn't show up, suprised, it doesn't matter. NDSU had one oppurtunity to have a great game against a top notch opponent and for whatever reason it just didn;t happen.

I just think TCU was that much more dominant than us, and that's ok for know.

Sat. should be a great game though, I expect NDSU to come out hungry with a chance to redeem themselves. I'm sure SDSU will want revenge also. The best team will win.

I do have one concern though, someone stated earlier a quote from the Forum from Amy, something about she recruited Division 2 players to play Division 2 basketball? What difference should which division make? If it came down to 2 recruits, she wouldn't honestly say "This would has more talent and athleticism, but will take this one to play Division 2?"

Why would she recruit for Division 2 knowing we were going Division 1. I'll never question Amy's philosophy on coaching, I just don't understand that train of thought!

jjbluecw
02-23-2005, 05:40 PM
I think she meant the upper classman were recruited as DII. It is hard to lure DI talent while still playing DII as most players are looking to play at the highest level possible. I understood what she meant and have no problem with that comment.
