Bison Sports Update: March 1

This was a good week for the Bison!

Men's Basketball
NDSU Men's Basketball wrapped up the regular season this week with a home matchup against South Dakota. The Bison and Coyotes engaged in a close battle that was up for grabs until the end. NDSU emerged victorious to send the seniors out the right way. This clinched their spot as the 4 seed in the Summit League tournament.
This week, the Bison will head down to Sioux Falls at the Denny Sanford Premier Center for the 2025 Summit League tournament. NDSU will play their quarterfinal game on Friday at 6 PM CT, and it will be a rematch against South Dakota - who the Bison defeated twice in the regular season. If they win on Friday, they would play the winner of top-seed Omaha and ORU/Kansas City on Saturday at 7 PM CT. The Summit League championship game is scheduled for Sunday at 8 PM CT. This year, the semifinals and championship games will all be broadcast on CBS Sports Network. Midco and the Summit League Network will stream the First Round and Quarterfinal games.
North Dakota State Men's Basketball is 21-10 overall on the season and 10-6 in Summit League play.

Women's Basketball
NDSU Women's Basketball also wrapped up the regular season this week. They hosted Kansas City on Thursday and Omaha on Saturday to complete the league schedule. On Thursday, the Bison handled a Kansas City and then on Saturday the Bison defeated Omaha to complete season sweeps of both teams. With the win over the Roos, the Bison clinched their seed in the Summit League tournament at the number 3 spot.
This week, the Bison head back down to Sioux Falls for the 2025 Summit League tournament. NDSU will play in the quarterfinal matchup on Friday against Kansas City. The game is estimated to start at 2:30 PM CT, as it will start approximately 25 minutes after the previous game is finished. If the Bison were to win their first game, they would move on to the semifinals around the same time on Saturday against the winner of No. 2 Oral Roberts and No. 7 South Dakota. The 2025 Summit League championship game is scheduled for Sunday at 3 PM CT. This year, only the championship game will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network. Midco and the Summit League Network will stream the First Round, Quarterfinal, and Semifinal games.
North Dakota State Women's Basketball is 19-10 overall on the season, and 11-5 in Summit League play.

Softball
NDSU Softball went down to Minneapolis this week to play in the Gopher Indoor Classic at US Bank Stadium. Unfortunately, they struggled quite a bit in the tournament. The Bison started on Friday with losses to Miami-OH and Minnesota, the first was wrapped up in 6 innings. On Saturday, they defeated Wagner before beating Wagner for their first and only win of the weekend. On Sunday, NDSU wrapped up with a 6 inning loss to host Minnesota.
This week, the Bison will head down to Mississippi for the Golden Eagle Classic where they will face Maryland Eastern Shore and Southern Miss from Friday to Sunday.
North Dakota State Softball is 8-11 overall on the season.

Baseball
NDSU Baseball went down to Tuscaloosa this weekend to face off against 20th ranked Alabama. The Bison weren't able to win any of the games against the Crimson Tide, and only managed to get as close as a 7-9 defeat on Saturday. Not entirely unexpected of NDSU, with Alabama playing so well this year so far.
This week, the Bison will head over to Louisiana for a week. They will go visit LSU on Tuesday and Wednesday for a mid-week dual against the Tigers. Then, over the weekend, they will play a series at Tulane.
North Dakota State Baseball is 1-9 overall on the season.
