The Bison have been more on than off this season and sit alone in 2nd spot of conference standings. There offense does seem to run a bit cold at times but they can heat up in an instant and put points on the board in a hurry. Native Whiskeytownian (Peoria) Lawrence Alexander can light it up from beyond the arc. If we can hold that kid in check, I like our chances to keep this one close. Also, watching Mo Conde and Dex Werner scrap for rebounds should alone be worth the price of admission (IT IS $1 DAY). Strap on your showshoes and head out to Western Hall for this 2pm matinee.

NDSU up 36-29 at the half. Good looks hard to come by against the Bison. Garret pretty silent so far. Saving up for another dagger i hope.

Kinda of a scrappy game. Closer than the fargo game.

So $1 admission and 200 people. Why did they schedule this super bowl sunday.

Should of advertised to have big screens after game for students to have a party

Western Illinois (and much of the midwest) is under a blizzard today. Summit League schedules all conference games.

Wow. Good second half on our part but come up just short 64-62. I did not see much in the way of any screen in our last real possession. Fuller trying to do it with the dribble and got into trouble.

Was a killer giving up 4 straight OReb to them in row. Was a one point game with 1:54 left and the sequence ended with a 2 point game and 54 seconds left.

Hard fought game, but could have made a play or two more for a victory.

4 rebounds and after finally grabbing a rebound a quick 3 point shot which was missed. Gotta seize some momentum with a controlled set play at that point. Billy and staff will not enjoy watching this game film! Shoulda, coulda, woulda seem to haunt you as a coach after this type of game! jc

North Dakota State wins 64-62.

ESPN named Jamie Batish as Western's "Top Performer": 12 Pts, 3 Reb, 1 Ast.

Four Western players in double figures: Garret Covington, Jamie Batish, J.C. Fuller, and Jabari Sandifer.

Attendance on a snowy Super Bowl Sunday afternoon was 530.

Wiu wins this game with any sort of crowd. Such a joke that game wasn't re-scheduled . I don't care what marketing ploy you use, it's super bowl Sunday.

The Summit MUST start scheduling Thursday double-dips (just like they do in D2) to avoid this nonsense.
