    Default If we make the Sweet 16.....

    I think that NDSU will be Cinderella of the tourney this year. A huge reason would be the voice of our team is Saul Phillips. This guy has an electric personality and a wonderful humble demeanor that will play very well on the national stage. If we win those first two games (and I know that is an uphill climb), I think Saul and the Bison will be a total media darling. Wouldn't that be great.

    Indy is a host for the Sweet 16 this year. I would be good with that.

    Totally agree how great that would be. Cinderella teams in March Madness though, usually appear from out of nowhere, with little or no expectations, other than from their own fans. In 2009, when NDSU played KU, you could tell for sure that Kansas "kind of" overlooked us. By the second half tho, with help from their Coach Bill Self, they knew we were a good team and this was serious. But we kept coming. Like Rocky Balboa, we just kept coming.
    So we might need to kind of stay off the radar a little?

    Bad joojoo offset by "(and I know that is an uphill climb)." I agree with Wyo, and not unrealistic, at all.

    Like Saul said on the 740 The Fan interview, one nice thing about being a North Dakota team, we are ALWAYS off the radar. Nobody expects much. (Not a direct quote, but hopefully a semi-accurate paraphrase.)
    There will be some Cinderella hype, but nothing more than a dozen other mid-major teams will get.

    And except for Bison Nation, I don't think there is a lot of recognition that the Bison were there in 2009. Five years is a long time.

    Makes total sense to me. I wish I could here those "Saul" interviews live, but damn work gets in the way. We just might be the best possible Cinderella this year and no one will notice?...lol Fine with me...maybe we will get Clubber Lang(no relation to Derek) as this years opponent?

    Live's great, but recorded isn't bad. Sorry, don't know how to do the cross-post link, but visit:
