Re: 3/22 NCAA Tournament Second (aka First) Round vs #1 Duke!
Never gotten into basketball a whole lot, even after having season tickets for a year at Scheels Arena. I don't know much about what is a foul and what isn't, and I don't know enough to comment on whether DR's coaching decisions. That said, this team may have gotten me hooked on the sport. In 20 years when we start the "What game hooked you on NDSU basketball" thread, be sure to pin this post.

And that's just TV numbers. I watched the first half on TV but the second half on my phone as I was at a basketball tourney and I'm sure I wasn't the only one. I bet that number gets to at least 8 after throwing in the streaming options.

Rewatching the 1st half and some of the 2nd half, I really applaud our guys for not backing down and showing some resiliency. They werent expected to be competitive for 1 minute in that game. Everyone thought theyd be run out the arena by 40+. Ward sizing up Zion was something. I hope we utilize him more down there going forward. Get a little tougher on defense next year and we should be back in the dance. We have the weapons to do something.

I'm really hoping O'dell and Meidinger (cross my fingers he doesn't get hurt again) improve over this summer. Would love to get some more size down low.

Is there a link to the full game anywhere? Is it on youtube yet?

Really proud of this group. Started to figure out things towards the end of the season and were playing their best basketball come tournament time. Exciting to think about this whole team coming back and what they can accomplish if things go correctly.

Most of us agree with the last sentence.
