N. Dakota State Bison

Aren't they the Jackrabbits, or is that South Dakota? FWIW-I picked them in my office pool. They have four fifth-year seniors starting going against a lot of youth in the lineup for KU. Also, they will have a lot of support in the stands at Minneapolis. This will be the first ever appearance by a North Dakota team in the big dance and they will be in a relatively close venue.

Just as added thought thought his is a Bison squad that has never been in the NCAA tournament before in school history. It is a hard thought that they are going to even come close against Kansas in my opinion. Kansas is still the defending national champion and they might have lost all the starters from their championship team of last year, but they have a lot of guys that are holdovers from it still. North Dakota State just doesn't play many lined contests only going 1-2 in lined games, and while the Bison might have been good for their conference, this is a step up in class they aren't ready for. They won the Summit League title with a 66-64 win over Oakland. They played two other tourney teams this season in Minnesota, losing 90-76 and losing at USC 61-57. Kansas is much better than either of those two. This is the first year of eligibility for the Bison squad, and it is very impressive what they accomplished to get here. All the glamor and lights of the tournament will be to much for this young team in their first appearance on the big stage though as I believe Kansas runs away with this game. Good luck with your play on North Dakota State I just think Kansas wins this one by double digits with ease. Of course the public is on Kansas so that is normally a good sign for your wager.

I hear ya' and thanks for the input. Probably the main reason i'm playing (other than the venue and their style) is the fact that just can't resist playing on a team made up mostly of big 'ol country white boys!

Your North Dakota play is looking solid right now. Both the offensives have hit a cold streak it is going to come down to whoever remembers how to get the ball into the basket.

Game was a lot closer than the score shows, feel bad for the North Dakota St backers who had +9.
