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

Winner plays at 6:10 Friday on CBS with their A team calling the game(Nantz/Rafferty/Hill).

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.

You all will get to play only one team from Durham, NC. Eagle Pride.:):D

Just checked. We are -5.5

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

Don’t want to give Duke bulletin board material
