Of course.

The point is that there is no other sporting event that will provide schools like NDSU or NCCU, or UND with even close to the media coverage of a one and done appearance in the Big Dance.

I won't argue this.

It is about the match up not necessarily the talent. It was a good matchup athletic wise and style wise for NDSU and most were not shocked when they won. Only need to look back earlier in the season when NDSU was completely overmatched and unable to guard a certain team in Grand Forks that year.

Well, that's not what you said in OP. But yes, match ups are important and the Sooners were a relatively good match up for the Bison that year (for a #5 seed).  Nevertheless, that was a good Sooner team. They proved that by making the sweet sixteen the next year and the final four 2 years later.

It's easier to ignore that the 2013/14 Oklahoma team had a starting lineup that was 1 senior, 3 sophomores and a true freshman and the only other upperclassman who could even be considered a contributor averaged 6/3 in 15 minutes/game over the season. Can't imagine how that Oklahoma team got better over the next 2 years considering all 4 underclassman of that squad stuck around. 

As was previously stated, it was a good win, but Oklahoma was picked to be over-ranked and upset before brackets came out.

God, what if that team was healthy and didn't fall physically apart in the BSC tournament?  

And then of course.... Brekke :(

NDSU now has twice as many NCAA tourney WINS in the last 6 years as UND does appearances..............

True and I wish it was flipped in favor of UND. But in the grand scheme of things, it appears people still don't know the difference between UND and NDSU.

And now the national feature game with Nantz-Raftery-Hill

......and the national exposure NDSU will get from that one game vs Duke will be ridiculous. 

At least UND hockey could get some back alley TV time and exposure if they make the Frozen Four this ye.............oh wait nevermind.

Richman could go from being potentially out of work to fielding calls from mid-major AD's in the span of a month, depending on how close they can keep in on Friday...
