Who are the North Dakota State Bison?
Located in Fargo, North Dakota (ya’ know), the Bisons are the heart and soul of North Dakota sports. Not only are they a great football program but they also have a good basketball program. Last season was one of their best season for the Bison – they finished 26-7, winning both the Summit regular season and conference tournament championships. They also upset 5th seed Oklahoma in the Round of 64 in the NCAA tournament.
That was last year. That team had a number of seniors that have graduated. This season NDSU has 6 freshman on their roster, and last year’s head coach, Saul Philips, was hired by Ohio University. The Bison promoted David Richman to the head coach position.
Best player
Lawrence Alexander
Lawrence is now a senior for the Bison. He was fourth on the team in scoring last season. NDSU is going to rely on their senior leader to carry this young team on his back.
Prediction
North Dakota State is a tough opponent to draw in their first game of the new season. I think the Longhorns are ready to start this season off with a bang, and predict the Bison will stay within 10 at halftime with the Longhorns pulling away in the second half. Look for walk-ons to get a little playing time before the final buzzer.
Texas wins 72-55
