Well, the first poll is out and we will officially be playing the #1 team in the nation. To say it is the toughest team we have played in the history of NDSU basketball is an understatement. Suprisingly, NDSU's record against the top 25 is 2-1. Beating Wisconsin and Marquette, and losing to Kansas in the NCAA tournament.
