Miles tries for a first at Frost

As a basketball junkie growing up in tiny Doland, S.D., Tim Miles marveled at the vastness of Frost Arena.
More than three decades later, Frost Arena remains the same size – the 8,000-seat home for basketball at South Dakota State University.
But for Miles, the 34-year-old venue that sits 90 miles from his hometown in Brookings, S.D., doesn’t seem as big.
“I was looking at a picture of it in a media guide and I
couldn’t believe how small it seemed,” said Miles, North Dakota State’s men’s basketball coach who tonight will try to win his first game in Frost Arena when his 13-6 Bison take on the 5-16 Jackrabbits.

With NDSU in its third year of Division I competition, Miles and his Bison have played in much larger venues such as Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas State and Texas Tech.
But don’t let size fool you.
“In many ways, it is a little more intense than some of those bigger arenas we have played in,” said NDSU forward Brett Winkelman. “The fans are right on top of you. You can really hear what they are saying.”
Not to mention the clanging noise from hundreds of cowbells. That’s why Miles had his student managers rattling cowbells during practice this week. (read more)
