It’s game time: UND men's basketball

In 2004, North Dakota left divisional athletics, a decision that ultimately led to the interruption of the rivalry between UND-NDSU basketball in the state. In the past six years, the Sioux and Bison did their best to take a ride on the new rivalry. The Sioux of South Dakota considers her rival. NDSU said South Dakota State was No. 1 on his opponent. In fact, the rival UND and NDSU,NDSU and UND.

In six years, has not changed at all 10,000 fans are expected to turn tonight at the Fargo dome for the Sioux and Bison renew their rivalry. NDSU expects a record crowd for the game of basketball men, another sign that the rivalry - despite the six-year break - never dies.

“ It’s the kind of game you dream of “ UND senior center Derek Benter said “The excitement, the atmosphere and a bit of hostility, there will probably happen will be very different than having 15,000 to 20,000 on another game”.
The Bison will be favored. NDSU is 5-3 and has a more experienced team than UND. NDSU has also left its mark on the world of basketball Divisional, justifying the NCAA Tournament two seasons ago.

In addition, NDSU guts to try a couple of wins since his arrival from Title II of the world. UND is still looking for this remarkable victory. But the environment tonight might be the best two teams have been known for two Divisional offers.

Badgers tract open space with the Milwaukee

Although one of the team takes its name in front of his Jersey, the state of Wisconsin just is not big enough for four men's basketball team division. Starting today, Wisconsin begins a series of three games - played in six days - against enemies of the state, UW-Milwaukee and Marquette and UW-Green Bay.

"[The other schools in the state] come with their best efforts, no doubt," said assistant coach Lamont Paris. "This is an opportunity to prove themselves. It is important for the state and is important for all participating schools and a good test, it is always an interesting challenge." The Kohl Center is the first stop for Panthers (6-5, 1-1) who embark on a tour of three games, and when they face the badger (6-2), a handful of former teammates and colleagues shock as opponents.
