Hey ND State

[FUtilitspurple]

The Furman basketball team is coming to town on Wednesday to pick up their second victory over the Bison in two years! Any thoughts?

[UNHWildCats]

Will the football team be doing the same?

I don't know about that, NDSU has a good team this year and will be pumped up to play at home after the 3 game road trip that started out the season. NDSU is also very tough at home, the Bison went 12-1 last year losing only to a very tough Manhattan team.

Should be a good game. The Paladins are coming off a solid win at a MAC school (albeit a weaker one in Bowling Green) and still have a game at Vanderbilt following NDSU on the roadtrip.

We're not the Flying Feet of Erskine, but I think we'll get back to .500 after Wednesday

[X-Factor]

NDSU returns all 5 starters from last year plus a couple of redshirts are now off the bench getting some minutes.

It was a good close game last year. I would be surprised if it is anything less this year.

[youwouldno]

It wasn't that close.

[Bison05]

It wasn't that close.

With under 4 minutes left to play we were only down by 3, explain to me how that was not a close game. :eyebrow:

[youwouldno]

Well we won by 12. I was at the game and I never felt like we might lose, even though it got close a couple times. Bostain was just unstoppable.

We have a new coach this year and we definitely won't take 25 three-point shots this time around. Bostain is still our best player, so far he's averaging 19 points and 8.5 rebounds as a SG/SF. Our post play remains a concern... the Bison outrebounded the Paladins last year and might have an edge on the boards again.

Bobby Knight in reference to his narrow win against the Bison in Lubbock.

“The wrong team won,” Knight said. “They outhustled us, they outplayed us, they outfought us. It was really a shame we won the game. Those kids came in and hadn’t played particularly well against Minnesota. They came down here and had their minds made up that they were really going to play and they did. If they can stay at that level, they’ll create problems for a lot of teams.”

:hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray:

[youwouldno]

You still lost.

[spelunker64]

You still lost.

Thank you Captian Obvious

[FUtilitspurple]

I'm hoping for another monster game out of Bostain against the Bison. He's doing very well so far this year.

Tonight is the "big";) game b/w NDSU and FU.

Here is the Furman game release.

http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/furm/sports/m-baskbl/auto_pdf/weekly-release.pdf

Furman is 3-1 with a win over Bowling Green and a 9 point loss to Clemson. NDSU is 2-2 with a win over Idaho and a 4 point loss to Texas Tech. Should be a good game.

[FargoBison]

In case you Furman guys didn't know you can watch the game live on the gobison.com webcast for $7.95.

[OL FU]

It wasn't that close.

I beg to differ. I don't recall the final score but the winner was questionable until the final few minutes

I think youwouldno has his homer hat on

FU won, it was a good close game

[Go Bison]

Only 4 hours till gametime! Bring on the competition!

[bison95]

Good luck FU, Now lets get the Football teams together:nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :thumbsup:

Hey, I was there, it's not like I'm making up what my opinion was. Sometimes, even in a close game, one team has the edge the whole way. It was sort of like when we played Texas Tech last year... it was close until the very end but I never really felt like we could pull ahead and hold the lead.

[NDSUFREAK]

It's going to be a great game.

[FUtilitspurple]

GO DINS!!!!!!!!!!

[FUwolfpacker]

[Gil Dobie]

Furman 37 NDSU 35 14:05 left

[FUwolfpacker]

FU 45 - NDSU 44 at the 10 min. mark of the second half.

[Gil Dobie]

Tied at 56 with 2:37 to go

[AndrewFU21]

I can't believe how well Moussa is playing right now. He's got 27 and carrying the team.

58-58

[AndrewFU21]

NDSU wins, 60-58

[FUwolfpacker]

Congrats Bison. We had our chances, but just couldn't finish in the second half. Good luck on the rest of the season!

[youwouldno]

Some really questionable calls, beyond what I would normally say is expected on the road. Really it was just 1 of the refs. Being unable to stop Andre Smith was the main problem for the Paladins.

[Gil Dobie]

Good Game Furman, game was close the whole second half.

[Go Bison]

Good game Bison! Nice to avenge the lost from last year. Hopefully we can play this game every year!

That late OB call that the Furman player tipped it, and the ball went to the purple. :rolleyes: ;)

That's one thing I don't like to do is blame the refs for losing a game. Coaching youth sports for several years, I stressed that to the kids. The refs are part of the game, just like the weather, field conditions etc.

[youwouldno]

I'm not really one to blame refs either. But one of the refs, I don't know his name, made like 5-6 calls that were just wrong. He wasn't even in position to make them. The OB calls went overwhelmingly to NDSU, the most lopsided I've ever seen, but at least those are really tough calls to make. On the other hand, a ref should know that the jump stops Diagne uses are legal.

OK I am sorry
