Predictions so far:Bison win 77-71 (+6) Massey Bison win 77-66 (+11) Warren Nolan The Bison have played a little tougher non-con, but here's a straight-up major stats comparison: | stat | USD | (opponents) | NDSU | (opponents) | | points | 79.2 | 75.5 | 76.8 | 70.3 | | FG% | .456 | .426 | .472 | .444 | | 3PT% | .378 | .353 | .369 | .352 | | Reb | 42.1 | 35.2 | 37.4 | 33.1 | | Asst | 13.31 |
| 12.54 | | | Turnovers | 13.8 | 10.7 | 10.8 | 10.5 | | Steals | 4.31 |
| 5.62 | | | Blocks | 2.15 |
| 1.77 |
|
Green is a stat where the team is #1 in the conference, red is #9 Not seeing a massive disparity in stats here... USD may be the better offensive team, NDSU the better defensive team... I wouldn't put any money on the game either way.

I'd love nothing more than to see the Yotes take a road win in Fargo... but we will have to see some improvement in several areas for that to happen. I don't think we have any dominant teams on the men's side, so any game is an opportunity. Will need a little GATA.

Kaleb Stewart. WOW!!!
Currently has 33 points with 4 minutes left. Must be feeling it. He just had a shot where I asked "why are you taking that shot?" followed by "HOW DID HE MAKE THAT SHOT?"

1-0 in conference play, taking a difficult game in Fargo. This season has been challenging so far. Maybe things are clicking at the right time?

Good win. Ball went in the hole and we did enough other things right to win. Played out how we need it too. Kaleb stewart is really good at basketball. Good get.
One thing that struck me is how different the bison look this year. Different style altogether. Perimeter centric and a little run and gun. Complete paradigm shift.

Great win!! First in 6 yrs in Fargo. Coyote starters played all but 44 of 200 minutes! Iron Men!! USD shot 49% FGs, NDSU shot 9 0f 30 from 3 and Coyotes snared 45 to 29 RBs.
Stewart was lights out!!
Go Yotes!!!

That was a heck of a win! Stewart can play! Always tough to get a win in Fargo. Fun game to watch! Let's keep it rolling!

Thioune with 19 boards! I know NDSU lacks size this season, but my goodness. He’s going to be a problem in conference.

Anytime you can sneak a win in Fargo is a great win. Now on to Omaha. Finally, a home game for the men.

GATA
it's not just defense, I thought the Yotes were aggressive offensively. Stewart was "in the zone", but I thought the guards attacking the paint against the athletic bigs of NDSU, was very effective. 40 points in the paint (13 by Lahat). Lahat killing it on the boards with 19. A lot to like, a road W at the top of the list!

It’s a whole new season when conference play starts. NET rankings are fun to track, but they don’t always tell the whole story. (As we are seeing with the women’s team too).
This is a fun group to watch.

Nice to have a little positivity for the team. Nice to have a couple of our sports teams go to Fargo and win.

This team has shown flashes of being really good when it pulls things together. Much better intensity/aggressiveness in this game.
