Bison Sports Update: January 23rd

An up and down week for Bison athletics.

Men's Basketball
NDSU Men's Basketball had an up and down week. They started out the week in Kansas City facing off against the Roos. The Bison led for most of the game, by as much as 12 but fell in the final minute of the game 77-80. Then NDSU headed further south to Tulsa to face off against Oral Roberts. This game, the Bison also led for most of the contest, but this time they pulled it off! NDSU went 1-1 in the week in the most unlikely of ways. The Bison currently sit at 3rd in the Summit League standings, behind South Dakota State (8-0) and Oral Roberts (7-2). They are in a three way tie for third place with South Dakota (4-3) and Kansas City (4-3). 

This week the Bison have 3 games on the docket. On Tuesday, they return home briefly for a rescheduled contest with D1 newcomer, St. Thomas. Then on Thursday they hit the road again to face off against South Dakota. On Saturday, they play archrival South Dakota State in Brookings. The first two games are at 7 PM, the Saturday game is at 2 PM.

NDSU Men's Basketball is 4-3 in Summit League play, and 12-7 overall on the season.

Women's Basketball
NDSU Women's Basketball also split their games this week. The Bison were at home for both games this week. They started on Thursday hosting the Kansas City Roos in a close matchup that had the Bison losing, 62-67. NDSU couldn't seem to get their shooting going at the right time. Then the Bison hosted Oral Roberts on Saturday and won 74-70. NDSU led for most of the game and was able to pull through in the final minutes.

This week, the NDSU women will host conference powerhouse South Dakota on Thursday at 7 PM. Then the archrival Jackrabbits come to town on Saturday for a 7 PM tipoff. 

NDSU Women's Basketball is 4-5 in Summit League play, and 8-11 overall on the season.
