3/20 vs Oklahoma

[Bison03]

One stat I found interresting. Oklahoma's tallest players are 6'8". W 2 guys at 6'8" and 3 that are 6'7" including Braun. We won't be getting worked down low against a 7 footer or a guy that will dominate the paint. I think Bjorkland and Aaberg will be able to exploit that. If we can get the low post scoring going, it will open up some open shots outside. I think we match up well. IF we can defend the 3 like we did in Fargo against Denver, we have a great shot of winning. Let's do it boys!!

They also start 3 guys that are 6'4" and under. Either Braun or Tray is going to have a smaller guy on him. I'm sure they're athletes so it's no like they won't be able to play bigger than that but both Braun and Tray are freakish athletes too and they're 6'7" each.

Their big scorers are #24 Hield, who's 6'4", at 16.8 ppg and #21 Clark, who's 6'7", at 15.3 ppg. Kory Brown locks up #24 and Tray makes life difficult for #21. If any team has a mismatch advantage it'll be the Bison IMO.

Hope we can jump on them early, a big Tray dunk would be ideal. Really though we need to be ready to defend like crazy, we can score on Oklahoma no doubt, the big question will be is can we slow them down enough. I think we can.

I think that we will own the paint. That will be a key factor, get the ball to the hoop inside. As soon as they start collapsing in on us if we can put up the long ball and get them to drop we will have a game of it. Brown and LA need to bring the D!!! IMHO
I picked us in my brackets and not as a homer either.

I was talking to my boss about this, and one thing I've noticed when the boys have a great game, Tray hits a 3 somewhere in the first 3-5 possessions. If he hits his first 3 out of the box or gets a big slam, OU better look out. Hoping they can win the crowd over to their side quickly and turn this into the FGC team of '14

Tray could struggle with Clark hard to say and I actually expect Braun to guard him. LA may be guarding Hield or Kory will I am sure we'll swap the matchups.

Good thing with this team is thet can switch on all screens.

Lots of really good pub for the program and NDSU today, Saul is just the man for the job too. Does a great job pimping everything NDSU and the community, and damnit he does pretty good job coaching as well, were lucky to have him.

Congrats again to all the players and coaches, been a damn fun ride!

That would be a herculean defensive effort against a team as proficient offensively as Oklahoma. I think the Bison need to score 80 to win this game.

Watch their last game against texas. They can go really cold really fast. Ndsu will not race them in a track meet. This should go way under 150
