We need to pummel these two teams. I can't make Thursday's game but will be there Saturday. Woooo!
A little surprised to see Denver at 6-10 (0-2) this season. Am just a casual observer, but thought of Coach Billups as a rising star in the coaching ranks. Denver has a couple victories over name-brand teams, a win at Laramie over Wyoming and a win at home against San Jose State.
Pioneers have their 2 star players back in 6’ 10” SR C Daniel Amigo and 6’ 3” Jr G Joe Rosga (from Cretin-Derham HS)
Rosga is at 15.4 ppg, 4.6 rpg. Amigo is at 16.1 ppg, 7.0 rpg and is shooting 57% on the season. Am assuming that is mostly done in the post area, so DMiller, Kreuser & Eliason will have their work cut out for them. But he does occasionally step out for a 3 point shot, so the Bison trio also have to honor that.
Rosga was almost a bison. NDSU has to, has to beat both of these teams if they want to be taken seriously.
please tell me Oral Roberts doesn't have a 6 9 275lb beast down low like ever year.
ERRR--- Albert Owens 6 9 250 ick.
I'm guessing there may be a special visitor at halftime of the ORU game on Saturday:

I've been checking all day, and they have just updated the DTV guide.
For those out-of-towners who have Direct, it's on channel 790.
2 big home games this week. Need to pick up a couple wins if we want to be in contention for that 1 or 2 seed come march.
Denver off to a bit of a slow start, losing on the road to USD by 11 and then getting beat by 20 at home vs IPFW. Denver returns just about everybody from last season, so sitting at 6-10 does surprise me a little bit.
Yes the football team will be recognized on Saturday vs ORU, the trophy will also be on display for photos. Should have a pretty good home crowd with a 2pm start. ORU is off to a great start at 3-0 and leading the SL. They have a couple very good wins but some really bad losses. This road trip through the Dakotas should say a lot just how good ORU is.
The sextuplets actually.Quote:

Watching warmup , inside play will be key. Can the bison hit the ocean tonight from the shore? Thursday night they would have missed. We need this one guys. Play like a Champion today.
DIRECTV channel is 793...
This team is unwatcheable.
AJ actually making some shots today? He read bisonville?
Sent by my phone on a bullet train from Hillsboro.
Stick shaved his awesome stache!

ORU has some horses. Good half for Bison.
Hopefully he can repeat that performance in the second half.Quote:

AJ got a couple bad calls by refs this half.
Sent by my phone on a bullet train from Hillsboro.
And another, oru player lowered his shoulder into aj's chest, and AJ gets the foul?

ORU only scored like 3 points the end of the first half and a bunch of time into the second. Once we started working on D and picked up the intensity it went well.
How long has Meidinger been in a completely immobilizing knee brace?
Just had surgery on his knee. Was making solid progression during his red-shirt season but the injury will definitely set him back.Quote:

Yep, bipolar! As soon as you right the season off they have a good game! I think that ORU's zone was actually good for us today. Had to change up how we attacked on offense.Quote:

ORU should wipe the floor with Denver. They've got the most athletic frontcourt in the Summit League. This was another "up" in a roller coaster season for the Bison. They defended and rebounded really well in the 2nd half against one of the better offensive rebounding teams in the country. Offensively they shot it well especially from 3 and had several beautiful possessions late in the 2nd half where they milked the shot clock and got a great look right at the end of it.Quote:

Amazing what can happen when the head coach actually attempts to coach. Kudos to Dave for lighting a fire and kudos to the team for responding.Quote:

DM should only see the court for emergency purposes. AJ has a role, but usually shouldnt be in there at the end. I love what Cam provides this team. Desperately needed. Much better 2nd half and nice to see them keep that lead instead of ORU getting right back in it. There's going to be inconsistency, hoping Geu gets better and better, and get that 3 seed (most plausible).
This was after both AJ and Quayle passed up open shots on the offensive end with less than 10 seconds on the shot clock and we turned it over, I believe the exact words I could hear from my seats half way across the arena were "SHOOT THE DAMN BALL" Was nice to see AJ actually participate in a game, the offense moved the ball very well against the zone and didn't really miss a beat when ORU switched to man. Defensively I thought we played really well but we got killed on the glass, through Denver's first 12 possessions I believe there was only 1 they didn't get points on even though they missed 3 or 4 times, they are deadly on the offensive glass. This might be the most complete game we've played all season, hopefully we can keep that momentum rolling!Quote:
