Seadragon76 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 This is huge for North Dakota State, because as a D-I indy, you don't get many chances to upset a big name school often.Also, when people think of the indie schools, they think of the jokes in that group like Longwood, Savannah State and UC-Davis. But, there are some really good teams in that bunch like the Dakota schools and Texas A&M Corpus Christi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Wow, what a way for this team to bounce back from a tough loss to Utah Valley State. They really needed this one, and hopefully they'll be back in the NCAA Tourney picture with this victory over lowly Wisconsin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinMcD Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Also Wisconsin had a 27 gm home streak against non conference opp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Does Georgetown beating #1 Duke 87-84 trump ND State beating Wisky?

Cujo Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Does Georgetown beating #1 Duke 87-84 trump ND State beating Wisky? So this means Florida is the last unbeaten standing with Pitt also going down today to St. Johns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 wow, I had a strange feeling NDSU was gonna win this... but to actually see it done... WOW.they played Minnesota pretty hard too. They just came off a buzzer beater loss to Utah Valley St the other day, and have been on the road awhile, I cant beleive they pulled this off. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 wow isnt ND State Division 2? this is the 3rd out of 5th year for D1 reclassification. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneDavid Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Does Georgetown beating #1 Duke 87-84 trump ND State beating Wisky? Not even CLOSE. Georgetown is a good team, was at home, and shot the freaking lights out. No D2 team should EVER beat a D1 team, much less a #13 ranked team, much less on the road.

NJTank Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 wow isnt ND State Division 2? this is the 3rd out of 5th year for D1 reclassification.

Right now they are an independant, trying to find a conference. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 By that logic, the biggest upset would be D-3 Carnegie Mellon taking down D-1 Princeton last month. If a D-2 squad should never beat a D-1 squad, then a D-3 shouldn't even get off the bus to play a D-1 squad.BTW, D-3 Rowan (NJ) defeated D-1 AA Robert Morris in football this year. Which is probably even more embarrassing than a D-2 hoops squad taking down a D-1 squad. That's just unspeakably bad.Therefore, the Wisconsin loss, though embarrasing, can be put into perspective.And on a strictly personal level, Duke losing is worthy of a big "Hell Yeah" any time it happens. DUCK FOOK!!!Thanks, Hoyas. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 North Dakota State 62#13 Wisconsin 55Losing to Ohio State in Columbus in OT is no big deal, but to North Dakota State at HOME is totally unacceptable. Eventhough it won't happen because the people who vote don't get it, I think Wisconsin should automatically drop out of the Top 25 for this loss. A nationally ranked team should never lose to a school such as NDSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamingboy Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 If a Div. II should never beat a Div. 1, and Div. III should never even play Div. 1, then somebody should have told Chaminade back in 1981 that a NAIA school shouldn't even be on the same PLANET as a Div. I. Insert Witty Signature Here.

I think you can blame some Japanese businessmen for that, Virginia scheduled that game with Chaminade as they had already played in Tokyo. Oh BTW, it was 1982, not 81.

Jigga Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Interesting points and all, but I still think it's more shocking that Duke lost. G-Town survived a 41 point outburst by, MY BOY, J.J. F---ING REDICK!Wisconsin shot 16 of 72. They'd lose to a High School JV team shooting "Sixteen of Seventy-Two." That's 22.22% shooting. Let's put this in perspective, they freaking missed precisely three and a half times as many shots as they made.Duke wouldn't shoot 16-72. Even blindfolded. Even against UNC. Even if both schools switched rosters (that's for you, VD)! On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame. Knits Rockne made up George Tip's death bed speech.

NDSU beat the #13 ranked team at their place, and you can't tell me that anybody thought they had a slight chance of winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 This might be the biggest win ever in NDSU athletics history.And we're talking about a school that has a storied athletics history. The Bison have won a ton of national football titles and a bunch of women's basketball championships. They have also been solid in wrestling and a number of other sports.But that's when they were Division II. To beat a Big Ten team that's ranked in the top 25 on its home court ... sheesh, that's huge.Another feather in the cap here in the Peace Garden State (brag, brag, brag).

Seadragon76 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 It's probably the only time this will happen in a long time, so enjoy it while you can.But, shooting 16 out of 72 is just a huge sign of getting your ass whipped. Sorry, but Wisky oughta be better then that to lose to NDSU... Texas A&M Corpus Christi, maybe, but never to NDSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
