North Dakota State has been rolling out their non-conference schedule over the past week or so. On Wednesday morning, they announced that they’ll be coming to Milwaukee on Friday, December 20th to face off with YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles.
This is an well executed bit of scheduling by Steve Wojciechowski and his staff.
If we take a global view of NDSU’s history since joining Division 1 in 2006, the lowest they’ve ever finished in the KenPom rankings is #242. They’ve only been below #200 twice, and to be clear, one of those times was last season.
