Posted on December 19, 2022 By Brandon Geffre No Comments on State of the Bison

At 3-9 with only 1 of those wins coming against a D1 opponent, saying the NDSU Men’s Basketball team’s out of conference performance was underwhelming would be putting it lightly. Coach Richman nor his players are ones for excuses and obviously would have preferred better results but if you’ve watched this team from the beginning…

The year was 2014 and NDSU had a few seniors by the names of Taylor Braun, Marshall Bjorklund and especially Trayvonn Wright who made it a habit of punishing the rim with a wide variety of dunks.
