3/20 NCAA Tournament First Four Round vs NC Central
NDSU opens the NCAA Tournament in the First Four Round in Dayton, OH on Wednesday March 20th. Game is scheduled for 5:40pm CT on TruTV. The winner gets to play Duke on Friday in Columbia, SC.
NC Central is a senior laden squad out of the MEAC, but are by far the lowest rated team in the NCAA Tournament.
KenPom has NC Central rated at #303 (NDSU= #199)
NCAA Net Rankings has them at #302 (NDSU= #222)
NC Central also has one of the worst strength of schedule at #352 (There are 353 teams in division 1 basketball)
Should be a great opportunity for NDSU to get another NCAA tournament win!

Pretty nice to have the spotlight, despite what people say many watch the opening rounds. Go out and perform take it to them

Re: 3/20 NCAA Tournament First Four Round vs NC Central
Winner plays at 6:10 Friday on CBS with their A team calling the game(Nantz/Rafferty/Hill).

Re: 3/20 NCAA Tournament First Four Round vs NC Central
This is great. If we win we get to be on two nationally televised games. As a 16 seed this is probably the best scenario getting a play in game first.

They put out a highlight video for Oral Roberts and Western. And nothing since. What gives?

It would be awesome to have that team call an NDSU game. Raftery is a national treasure of broadcasting "Shahid! ...leaving a little lingerie on the court!"
It would most likely be them talking about Duke's championship prospects and next game for the last 75% of the broadcast but it would still be awesome.

Re: 3/20 NCAA Tournament First Four Round vs NC Central
I hate to look ahead but Shahid vs Tre Jones is a cool matchup. Actually think Ward could do okay.

The NDSUMBB twitter had a video highlight package on the championship game but for whatever reason it was not uploaded to YT. Agree strange and disappointing.

Re: 3/20 NCAA Tournament First Four Round vs NC Central
Does anyone have a link to the CBS video of the crowd in Fargo when we learned we were the play-in game? I tuned in too late and it was already to the South bracket.
-
Re: 3/20 NCAA Tournament First Four Round vs NC Central
I am not sure if the crowd was shown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWd6AePOXjc - this was East bracket seeding CBS feed.

They never showed. NDSU has coverage of it, but nothing on CBS. In fact we were barely mentioned.

He was on here touting the virtues of NC A&T football.

Re: 3/20 NCAA Tournament First Four Round vs NC Central
Anyone going? I have 16 mins to request tickets. Not sure if I would want to go solo or not, but seems too silly to pass up when it's 2:30 away.
EDIT: Submitted my request for a solo ticket. If so, look for the fat guy in yellow wearing the best KY Derby hat you've ever seen.

I'm planning to go from Indy with a fellow Indy grad.

if NDSU loses to garbage NCCentral and ruin a chance to be on PRIMETIME CBS, Richman should be fired and left in Dayton

exactly, hell of an experience for these guys though if they take care of Business Wed. If they can somehow play a great first half against Duke that's all we can ask for, an upset is about as good of chance as me winning the Powerball Wed. and I don't buy tickets

Ndsu beating iowa and ksu would be nothin compared to this upset. All of us and national beat writers know ndsu can compete and beat college football teams not named alabama, clemson, Oklahoma(puke) etc.
Beating the number 1 overall seed with 3 nba lottery picks, one being a generational talent would be bigger than the miracle on ice
