3/20 NCAA Tournament First Four Round vs NC Central

[Strommer10]

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.

Prediction for opening line? Ndsu -5?

It would be awesome to have that team call an NDSU game. Raftery is a national treasure of broadcasting "Shahid! ...leaving a little lingerie on the court!"

It would most likely be them talking about Duke's championship prospects and next game for the last 75% of the broadcast but it would still be awesome.

I hate to look ahead but Shahid vs Tre Jones is a cool matchup. Actually think Ward could do okay.
