The Bison were able to rally in the final 3 minutes to defeat the Cougars and reach their first WNIT Great 8. On Monday, the Bison hosted Troy in the Great 8.

Unfortunately, they ran out of gas in the extra frame, and fell to the Trojans, 88-97 to end their postseason run. 
Even though they ended the Summit League tournament on a dud, the Bison were still able to make this season a memorable one, another that will be remembered in Fargo for quite a while.

Following the end of the WNIT first round, the tournament gave a home game to the Bison as they would host New Mexico State. Then, today on Monday, the Bison played said second round game at the SHAC. NDSU and the Aggies were quite close for the entire game, but the Bison pulled through in the final 2 minutes to secure another WNIT second round win. This is the second season in a row that the Bison made the WNIT super 16. 
This week, the Bison will play at least a game in the Super 16 round of the WNIT. They currently are awaiting the result of Utah Valley at Washington State that is playing as I am writing this. After they know who they will play, they will then find out if they will host another WNIT game that would take place between March 26th and 28th.

NDSU won the opener on Friday, lost on Saturday, before winning a drama-filled weekend finale on Sunday.

Go Bison!!

It was a rough week, lets be honest.

Men's Basketball
NDSU Men's Basketball went down to Sioux Falls this weekend for the 2025 Summit League tournament. They entered as the 4 seed and matched up against 5 seed South Dakota. Unfortunately for the Bison, they had to play without their top two scorers in seniors Jacksen Moni and Jacari White as well as senior Brennan Watkins. However, this didn't seem to faze the team on Friday as the Bison led for the entire first half and almost all the second half. They were never able, though, to put the Coyotes away and it would bite them late. In the final two minutes, the Coyotes were able to complete the pressure on the Bison and caught NDSU on a couple mistakes to give them the win. 
With a 20+ win season for the Bison, they would most likely qualify for some postseason tournament. But given NDSU's history with Richman at the helm, they will most likely not play in any of those tournaments. What a season it was, and the youth coming up next year should give fans lots of reasons to hope that the Bison would replicate the regular season success again next season.
North Dakota State Men's Basketball finishes the season with a 21-11 overall record and a 10-6 record in the Summit League.

Women's Basketball
NDSU Women's Basketball was also in Sioux Falls for the 2025 Summit League tournament. They entered as the 3 seed and matched up against 6 seed Kansas City. NDSU just never seemed to show up in their quarterfinal match on Friday, as the Bison were down by almost 20 in the first 5 minutes of the game. NDSU would never really climb back into it and were eliminated with the 10 point loss.
Since they didn't win 20+ games and didn't finish second in the regular season, I doubt the Bison will get an invite to the WNIT this season, which means their season is over. Still a great season for the women's team in a year that they lost a lot of offensive production from last season! 
North Dakota State Women's Basketball finishes the season with a 19-11 overall record and an 11-5 record in the Summit League.

Softball
NDSU Softball on the other hand, had a great weekend out in Mississippi! The Bison traveled down to Hattiesburg, Mississippi this weekend for the Golden Eagle Classic. NDSU would fall in the opening game against host Southern Miss, defeated 2-10 in 5 innings. But they would get red hot from there, as they would defeat Maryland Eastern Shore three games in a row, each ending early and then wrapped the weekend with a win over Southern Miss. 
This week, the Bison will head over to Louisiana to play Southeastern Louisiana in a rare one-off game on Tuesday. Then, they will head back to Mississippi for the Rebel Invitational where they will face a gauntlet of Samford, Ole Miss and Iowa State from Thursday through Saturday.
North Dakota State Softball is 12-12 overall on the season.
