I added a page to the Football Wiki to reference historical attendance numbers for football. Has data going back to 1999.

I added a page for attendance numbers to the Wiki in the basketball section. Found data going back 8 years for the women and 12 years for the men. Also added one to the Football Wiki too............

I think this win guarantees us the 3 seed.

Sioux up just 4 now with 3 minutes left.....

Griz beat the cats last night, so they would be the #2 seed if the tourney started today. They have to play Sac St. and NAU on the road to finish the season. One Week To Go - Quick Rundown

That championship trophy means quite a lot to this Sioux fan. It is after all the highest championship awarded for football by the NCAA, and the one North Dakota's program is striving to obtain. I know many hockey fans will be mystified by this, but there is in fact a lot of things going on outside the walls of the REA...........

Weber still locked up the #1 seed last night, so the Tournament will officially be in Ogden. Obviously, it is highly unlikely that Weber loses its last two, but mathematically, North Dakota and Montana could still get a share of the Big Sky championship. UNC's loss puts us all alone in 2nd place at the moment. The Griz host MSU tomorrow night. If we can take care of business at the Sioux Center on Tuesday, we should be in pretty good shape for the #2 seed. The Bears are reeling right now, having lost 3 straight. Let's not take the foot off the gas.

623 on DirecTV.

I was watching on TV so didn't lose the feed. That really sucks. Why on earth would the feed on the Big Sky's website switch to the SD game? I bet that would never happen to a hockey broadcast.......

Huff. Wow........

We have no answer for Jois.... We are twice as good with Huff on the floor....

Picked up two quick fouls early on......

As frustrating as this season has been to me, it is shaping up to be a very exciting finish. If you would have told me a month ago that we'd be in position to get the #2 seed for the conference tournament, I'd have laughed hysterically. Now, the eternal optimist and die-hard fan with high-expectations in me wants to expect North Dakota to win out, finish 13-7, and lock up the number two seed.

Sioux win by 10.

Sioux are up 5 at the half.

Regarding the Big Sky tourney, I'm not sure how well a neutral site would work given the expansive geography of the league. I think it works well with the current format. Additionally, basketball is, at best, the #2 sport at every single Big Sky school except for Weber. By comparison, basketball is the #1 sport at every single Summit school except for NDSU and now Denver. So a comparison between the emphasis placed on the conference tournament in each league is really apples to oranges. The Summit has a good thing going with its set up in Sioux Falls. In the case of Big Sky basketball, the best attendance numbers are going to come when the tournament is held at the site of the regular season champion, even if that means short notice. I think it is more likely to draw 6,000+ in Ogden or Missoula, perhaps even Grand Forks one day, on a week's notice than it is to expect fans to buy tix in advance in good faith if it were held at a neutral site like Las Vegas, Denver, or Phoenix.

I don't know about all this Big Sky to FBS talk. What I do know is that I love the fact that North Dakota is in the Big Sky. Another thing I know is that of 6 former NCC schools that are now DI, 5 of them tried to get into the Big Sky at one point or another, UNO being the exception. A couple institutions tried multiple times to no avail. That tells me that the Big Sky apparently has a level of attractiveness that fans of a certain school don't like to acknowledge.

SAC smoked UNC tonight. Puts the Bears just a game ahead of us and the rest of the 9-7 teams for second place. SAC is playing well of late.

Played quite well from wire to wire. Good win that was sorely needed. Do it again on Thursday.

I like the optimism, but pretty hard for me to be confident in picking this team to win any game at this point.

Just in case everyone hasn't heard, this game will be on Fox College Sports, Fox Sports North+, and Fox Sports AZ.

Why does NDSU have a seperate AD to hire and manage the women's sports? I know we have a Senior Women's Administrator, but our actual AD does the hiring and firing when it comes to womens basketball, volleyball, hockey, etc...............

Well that is kind of sad.......

Northern Colorado is making things interesting for Weber. Weber has lost two in a row, while UNC has won 3 straight. The Bears are just one game back in the standings. I'd say UNC has a slightly easier schedule to finish the season, as the still have SUU to play. A couple weeks ago it was a foregone conclusion that the conference tourney would be in Ogden. Not so set in stone at this point.

Did Hooker even play the second half? Huff and Anderson really struggled tonight....
