“North Dakota is a humble state, and I think we’ve got a lot to offer here,” Phillips said. “But it’s not too often that North Dakota stands up, sticks its chest out and says, ‘Hey America, here we are.’ I think this is a moment where we can do it, and be proud of it, and be proud of something we accomplished together.”

Doug Gottlieb was just asked on Colin Cowherd's radio show his pick for first round upset. Paraphrasing:

"Kansas is going to walk into the Metrodome expecting to have a couple thousand Jayhawks fans and instead they're going to see 20,000 North Dakota State fans. They'll look down at the other end of the court & see a bunch of grown man with shaved blond hair and expect to dominate, but they'll be in for a surprise. Saul Phillips is a great coach, Ben Woodside is the all-time leading scorer in school history...I'm not going to say North Dakota State is going to pull it off, but it's going to be a hell of a game."

Gotta love these comments in that article:

.....I have an upset for you this year. It involves last year's national champion. Yes, the Kansas Jayhawks are going down in Round One on Friday. And NCAA newbie North Dakota State is going to deliver the blow.

And everyone knows how important guard play is in the Big Dance. Woodside protects the ball and the Bison offense averages just over 11 turnovers per game, good for ninth in the nation. The young Jayhawks ranked 232nd with nearly 15 turnovers per game.

Plus, the game is in Minneapolis, little more than a three-hour drive from Fargo, N.D., where NDSU is located. Did you see how rabid the Bison fans are? They are going to turn it into a home game......

It's already been a Cinderella season for North Dakota State, getting to the NCAA Tournament in its first season eligible. It just doesn't feel like it's time for the Bisons' clock to strike midnight.
