The men may get a few minutes to put their feet up and bask in the glow of victory, but they’ll be back at it Wednesday evening on their home floor against Summit League power North Dakota State. The Bison opened their season Monday night with a 67-65 loss at Oregon State after missing a shot in the final seconds that would have sent the game into overtime.
As for Wednesday night’s anticipated battle with North Dakota State, Les noted the Bison typically present a lot of problems with the quality of their offensive attack.
“Our defense is going to be tested,” Les added.
“I was really pleased with the depth we showed tonight,” Les said.
“We got some really good production off the bench and that gives me a lot of confidence when those guys are in there. When we share the ball and spread the floor, we have a lot of guys who can make shots. We did get an early lead, then didn’t handle prosperity very well, but things were much more focused in the second half.”
What do you think the issue is with our Defense (understanding we loss the Conners brothers, which was a huge loss). Do we just not have enough big bodies up front? I couldn't really see how their RB was getting through so easily. For the most part, tackling looked good. Was it the scheme? — Sailorgabe
