Bison Looking For Revenge?

The Golden Grizzlies eeked out a 2-point road victory over the Bison earlier this season. In that 73-71 nail biter, Tim Williams hit the game-winning bucket with two seconds remaining. Nevertheless, OU is looking up at NDSU in the conference standings. The Bison have to sit out of post-season play this year, due to transfer rules.

So really, all NDSU is playing for tonight is pride.

I'm not going to go out and predict anything tonight, but having seen both teams play, I'd say Oakland is the more physical of the two. And if OU's perimeter shooters are hitting tonight, it could be a long game for the Bison.

Time will tell.
