The Bison are going to have a very difficult time matching up with 6-11, 245-pound sophomore Marreese Speights (4.1 ppg, 2.6 rpg), a very big and physical kid in which the bison have had a very tough time containg players like this. As far as recruits go they have Jai Lucas who averaged 26.3 points and 7.5 assists last season, earning McDonald's and Parade All-American honors. 6-6 Nick Calathes Parade All-American, McDonald's All-American, Gatorade Player of the Year in Florida and Mr. Basketball in Florida, they also have 6-9 Chandler Parsons who was a teamate of Calathes.ndlionsfan wrote:Who does Florida have now this year? I know they lost their starting 5 to the NBA and graduation last year, but you don't win back to back championships and not get good recruits coming in. I can't see the Bison winning this one because I'm sure Florida has a lot more talent, but wouldn't it be headlines if they did!

The depth will be better this year, I'm guessing and I think this game is definitely a good chance to catch them before they've had a chance to gel.

Another small DI school beat UCONN
All of these upsets have happened in the last week. Who says small NDSU can't go down to Florida and knock off the big time Gators?!?

With all the upsets in college sports this year, who says NDSU cant beat them? Although this win would be a huge one for NDSU and North Dakota, the national media wont make as big of deal as when they beat Wisconson because of all the other upsets
