3/22 NCAA Tournament Second (aka First) Round vs #1 Duke!

[Professor Chaos]

Let's get it started! If the unthinkable happens this thread is destined for the Hall of Fame!

What do the Bison need to do just to get into the same zip code as Duke? IMO, they're going to have to shoot something absurd like 60%+ from three since Duke is going to murder them on the boards so stops will be few and far between and it will be very difficult for the Bison to score inside the arc with Duke's superior athletes.

Why not us? Why not now?

After beating Duke, would we rather play UCF or VCU? Discuss.

Fine by me if he wants to start another one and we can delete this one.

If not I'm fine with taking full responsibility for a potential Bison loss on Friday.

NDSU will need some divine intervention on Friday. I'm not sure it matters who starts the game thread. NDSU is playing with house money and has nothing to lose on Friday. What an opportunity in primetime on CBS with Jim Nantz & Bill Raftery broadcasting the game.

Never thought Id see the day Nantz does a Bison game. That is awesome.

I think the only question in this game is whether ndsubison1 lives or not. Anyone know who he is and where he lives just in case?

Need to shoot lot's and lot's of 3's. I don't know if we were perfect it would matter much though. There's just no way this is a good game. I just hope it's not too embarrassing.

[Professor Chaos]

If Duke has a weakness it's their own 3 point shooting which is 338th out of 353 teams in D1 at 30.6%. If there was ever a time for the Bison to play zone....

Maybe it wasn't a coincidence that they went 1-3-1 for a few possessions tonight? Of course it makes defensive rebounding even harder when you play zone so maybe they're better off not messing around with a defense they have virtually no experience with.

If we shoot 80% from 3 we may keep it within 15. Maybe...
