I'll bet not even close. This isn't the cavernous Metrodome, NDSU will have about 3-4k fans at the game if they are lucky and overpay for tickets. I am fairly certain that 15k others won't just show up to hang around campus. Plus, the stadium isn't downtown.

If we lose 3-2 or 4-3 I would understand. But getting shutout by an inferior opponent is down right embarrasing and is a complete chokejob.

The part I love is how 740/790 is supposedly the home for Bison athletics. Yet, once the Sioux make the Frozen Four they immediately pick up the rights to broadcast the entire Frozen Four on their station.

It is pretty obvious they are trying to kiss the WCHA's ass bigtime so they can continue to schedule them. They know if the WCHA is to say 'good riddance' that their strength of schedule would be in the toilet and so would attendance. They are basically on their hands and knees begging.

Off topic but will Oakland ever learn to play defense? They are hanging around but are going to get beat every year at the NCAA if they don't at least attempt a defensive effort. Outscoring Summit league teams is great and fun but it obviously doesn't work when you actually play a good team. Also, Keith Benson is getting manhandled by Tristan Thompson. He has some work to do before the NBA.

I am the same way. Will have fun regardless. I hope some Sioux fans have noticed that USD has 3 lower level teams on their schedule next year also. We are both in the same boat as far as last year of transition scheduling (except you have Eastern Washington at home - good get!).

It is so embarrassing for your fan base, how Bison fans are showing up in this thread to try and tear down the accomplishment. A complete lack of class and obvious insecurity that you have to come on here and talk about your own program, unsolicited. Especially coming off a terrible year with a second losing season in a row.

Why would you want to derail this thread? What has happened that would lead Bison fans to have to come over and say anything? This is a nice accomplishment and reward for UND's Mens program that has struggled recently and should be viewed as such. All comments from other programs that do not have anything to do with the Great West are petty and simply come from insecurity. Let everyone enjoy this accomplishment.

This is going to be great exposure for the basketball program. Plus, the players will gain some extra tournament-type experience that will hopefully help for the future. Hoping it will be on TV somewhere - maybe DirecTV.

Jim, can you please get rid of this post. Its only going to muddle up what is a great thread for a heckuva an accomplishment.

What basketball are you talking about that is going to be on?

Speaking of not having any good wins on their resume, I noticed that Gods gift to basketball just had another first round flameout at the Summit tourney. Nice effort.

I emailed WDAY and they got back to me about it: "We carry all of the UND football and men

No kidding, this topic is stupid.

I feel that is the case also. The only reason people would need to know is for gossip reasons. And I do feel the Herald could investigate stuff more, I didn't mean to totally disagree with Wyo. But the Forum has shown they will gloss over minor occurences also,

It will come out eventually, wait. Also, NDSU has had there fair share of stuff swept under the rug. What happened with Sidney Haynes - never saw an article detailing that? How about Ojuri-no fact finding mission there either. Any others? The only reason we heard about Schultenover and The Triple B's (Best Buy Boys) was because their felony crimes were of such epic proportions. The Forum had no other choice.

On the homepage of Siouxsports, on the Fightingsioux.com website. Need any others?

It appears Josh Murray has been dismissed from the team for violation of rules.

I believe The Orleans casino hosts one or two conference tournaments every year. Maybe there are others that could host them.

Large sheet + Quicker team = down 4-0. Preview of things to come, again?

So you are calling an NAIA team a legit opponent and NOT a dog? By that standard you must have been thrilled when we played Sioux Falls two years ago because they were the NAIA National Champion. They have two dogs and we have three.

Here is my question: why was this article even written? We are in the Big Sky, everything worked out. Was this Kolpacks idea?

Why is Eidsness out of position 100% of the time? He isn't even remotely close to where he should be in relation to the puck.

Congratulations to Eastern Washington! Go Big Sky!!!!
