UNDColorado Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 any word about our upcoming bball schedule? I was wondering the same thing. Prior to last season I haven't followed basketball that much, but when are upcoming schedules traditionally released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfan68 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Although some of the games were confirmed earlier, I don't think the schedule was officially released last year until the beginning of September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darell1976 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 NDSU just signed a 2 for 1 deal to host Southern Mississippi then going there for 2 games. WDAY said its the highest rated team to come to the BSA...who is the highest rated team to come to the Betty since going DI? I know overall its been Kansas but that was when we were DII.

Not positive, but my guess would be one of the UNI teams that came here in the last couple of years. EDIT: Also, NDSU hosted A Bob Huggins coached Kansas St. team at the BSA a few years back. Not sure how good that KSU team was though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darell1976 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 but what i'm saying is that southern mississippi isn't really a big time name??? They may not be a Duke or Kansas but still a high ranked team coming to the area is a good grab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the green team Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Is it a 2 down there and 1 in Fargo? Southern Miss to me is a lot like Bowling Green and Louisiana Techs, that have visited up here. Because they were 27 and 10 a year ago, that is nothing to sneeze at I grant you. The last couple of years they have slotted themselves nicely behind Memphis in the conference standings, but prior to that they either finished mid table or near the bottom. So it's not like they are seeing a perennial power down in Fargo. Personally, I would schedule a Northern Iowa, 10 out of 10 times compared to a 2 for 1 deal with Southern Miss. While it appears that NDSU got a reasonable quality opponent, Southern Miss's own track record would indicate that the last 2 years have been more aberration as opposed to a program with a long track record of success. It's nice to see other schools from other parts of the country so kudos, but I'm not going to make it anymore than it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times did he say "high-major" in that article - 10 times? He acts like North Carolina is coming to the Bison Sports Dump. Its freakin Southern Mississippi! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petey23 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 It is hard to know what will happen at Southern Mississippi now that Eustachy has left for Colorado as he is an elite basketball coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Also, NDSU hosted A Bob Huggins coached Kansas St. team at the BSA a few years back. Not sure how good that KSU team was though. KSU made it to the NIT that year, so they were solid but not great. It was a lot of fun sitting behind KSU's bench though. It is definitely an interesting schedule so far.... @Ohio State @Notre Dame @UND @Bryant @Western Michigan vs Delaware vs Towson vs Southern Miss It sounds like we'll have two more high majors on the road.

108498 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 NDSU looks to have a good nonconfrence schedule this year. I hope we see some well known teams this year. ALTHOUGH, THE NDSU GAME WILL BE THE BEST NO MATER WHAT . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do those listed above include any early season tourney games? I know there were some good matchups for NDSU through a couple of the tourneys they played in last year...... I'm hoping UND gets a pretty good non-conference schedule this year. I think it should be pretty decent...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
108498 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Will there be a double header for the NDSU/UND match ups this year. I think having the two different events takes away from the women's game. Not many show up for that game. A Saturday double header would be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think having the two different events takes away from the women's game. Not many show up for that game. A Saturday double header would be fun. Do we all still want to be D2? Doubleheaders, for the most part, are a thing of the past thankfully. Personally, I don't like doubleheaders. That's way to long for my kids attention spans, and If a doubleheader starts at 6, you don't get home until after 10. Can't each event just stand on it's own?

Don't care about the women's game with how bad our team is, but if there was a saturday double header, I'd make my way up to El Forko.

108498 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 UND won the women's game by just 10 last season. Alot can change in a year. Remember the first two of the men's latest series. Big turn around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdub27 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 The Delaware home game and Bryant road game are also part of the deal with the Gazelle Group. Any idea what the parameters or cost for that deal was? NDSU has gotten some good games out of it, though the majority have been on the road. Wondering how many of those they would have been able to get on their own and if they think it was worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
