Yay.

[YanktonJack7]

Greatest season in Summit League history! Soak it in everybody.

Charlie was Huge! Arians was huge! Zeke was huge!

We handled NDSU's size very well. Tight, close, hard fought game. Better team won.

Got to end college with this team. Great job guys!

In other news, Wright State made the tourney. And Scott Nagy did the griddy. Can’t believe it myself.

So glad I'm not a Bison fan can't imagine watching that scratch your eyes out ugly basketball every night. Credit to them for making us play their style 3 times this year but I'd watch exclusively football too.

Just an incredible team and an incredible run. Such a fun season and a great group to root for. This is the type of team that makes a run in the ncaa tourney. Not done yet!!

Arians worked his ass off guarding Grant Nelson. Many of the Summit League pundits think Nelson is the second coming, and their failure to take advantage of that size mismatch was huge.

I think it’s impossible to overstate how incredible what the men did is. 21-0 in conference. Against teams that are intimately familiar with your system.

I’m not looking forward to 3 more years of him. But, they lose Krueser, Greisel, and Eady. They will have some holes to fill.

Idk how I didn’t know this but someone informed me tonight that Greisel was signed with USD and then got a release and ended up at NDSU. That’s mind blowing to me. Imagine what a difference 1 player makes in the landscape of a conference.

For funsies, I went over and read B-ville, just to read their reactions to the game.

Some of my favorite reactions:
The guy who said the Jackrabbits were playing 6 players during the game. (He posted this 3 times) ??
The group who thought the officials cost them the game. (unreal? Bison fans blaming the officials for a loss? What a shock)
The guy who said "If not for Easly, we'd have won by 7." If not for Griesel SDSU wins by 20? (see how easy that game is to play)
The guys who said "We will rule the summit next year (because they have Grant Nelson back). Obviously hasn't looked at the ages of the players on the SDSU roster.

And if you enjoy cognitive dissonance, check out the Bison Report live tweets of the game. Those guys are operating on another dimension from reality.

That said... Congrats to the Bison program.
Their coaching staff, and players are really good, and they do a great job up there. They are worthy rivals.

I thought with the whole covid year, they only lose Krueser.....Their website has Griesel and Eady listed as juniors.

[OldHare]

The bison did not stick around for the awards for all tourney team or runner up plaque. It certainly would be a painful loss, but they may have at least sent all tourney players to the podium. I did not read the bison tweets which may have explained everything.

[Southeast]

A few things that come to mind thinking back on last night:

-Arians successfully battling to guard Nelson in the paint.
-Wilson seeming to have found a higher speed for his dizzying post moves.
-Scheierman blowing by Rocky for a layup late in the game.
-“The Floater” by Zeke Mayo.
-Charlie - everywhere we needed him to be.
-The massive student sections and overall crowd intensity.
-The lack of green in the arena.
-Beau Brown’s big-screen moment! He’s still a legend.
-The way Hendo connected with the crowd in the last few seconds.

21 straight with the last two being rivalry games is just crazy.

They both could play another year, but were honored on Senior Day along with Krueser. Sounds like they're ready to move on. I'd imagine Griesel will have some pro opportunities overseas, especially in Germany where he is a citizen.
