20-4, 14-1, 15-2

• 20-4 against teams outside the RPI top 30.
• 14-1 against teams outside Jeff Sagarin's top 60 (NDSU is ~65)
• 15-2 against teams outside Ken Pom's top 50 (NDSU is ~54)

Can we be beaten by NDSU? Absolutely. Our loss against TTU and (maybe) Louisiana Tech are good indications of that. But, I'm not sure why all the commentators are so sure we're going to get beaten.

Throw in that only one team -- a projected Final Four team MSU -- has beaten us by double digits all year, which means that even if NDSU gets us down, we'll still have a puncher's chance to pull it out...and I am flummoxed at the total lack of disrespect for OU.

It's not based in reality, but I love it.
