Bison are 4 point favorites per Vegas, the teams split the regular season series with NDSU winning 93-89 in Fargo and IUPUI winning 86-81 in OT at Indy. IUPUI's three point shooting played a big role in their win, they shot almost 60% from three in that game. Matt O'Leary is 10/15 from three against the Bison this year, really need to do a better job of getting out and defending the three. Can't let a team like IUPUI get comfortable.
IUPUI is playing well, they won at Denver, beat IPFW at home and gave a red hot USD team all they could handle. Going to be a tough game, hope to see a real solid effort on defense and the glass tonight. The Bison need to get back to doing those things plus taking care of the basketball if we are going to make a run in this tournament.
