Furman hosts NDSU Basketball

[Gil Dobie]

Good luck to the Paladins tomorrow, but not too good.
Hopefully it will be a good game.

***I'll be at the NDSU vs Minnesota women's game tonight.

[OL FU]

Yes been looking forward to this one since I noticed it on the schedule. Should be a good game. Maybe football, one of these days. :nod:

[Hansel]

Got to be the "I-AA" non-conf BB game of the week

Current RPI NDSU 157, Furman 163
Current Sagarin NDSU 145, Furman 188

Sagarin prediction including homecourt, NDSU by 2

[SoCon Din]

Should be a good 'un. Always look forward to playing teams in a matchup that has everyone saying, "we're playing who?!"

Everyone in Greenville knows about the recent upset of Wisconsin, and are ready for a good match-up.

What kind of crowds does Furman get?

This is probably our toughest game left this year

I believe it is typically around 1500- 2000. will check to see if I can find out. (probably closer to 1500 than 2000).

Despite the huge Wisconsin win, and even the win over Northern Illinios, the Bison havn't really done much on other teams home courts as far as W's go. In many of the road games they have been up by 20 or more at halftime only to lose it all and drop the game by a couple points. I think being that the Bison are a freshman dominant team led to alot of "dissapointements" earlier in the season and all the growing pains to go along with it. This matchup should be very entertaining to watch! Any idea if Furman is making a return visit to Fargo next season?

One hour and thirty minutes until tip-off. Unfortunately I am at work. :mad: Fortunately I have my radio with me. :)

Game starts in 30 minutes, final Sagarin, NDSU by 2.3, I say it's a toss up

you can get the NDSU reaction here

and Furman's here although my guess is it will be fairly quiet until after the game.

You can have my reactions in this thread. Although I will admit I react a little less frequently in BBall games than FBall.

Our BB board was pretty quiet until this year, however there is alot of excitement surrounding our team (4 freshmen starters) and after the Badger victory, our BB board is currently probably about as active as our FB board ever was

Funny we didn't have any 'Sconsin fans show up on our board after the game :p

[Hansel]

PS I will be making comments here as well, gotta keep that post count up ;)
