With all the hype we've been getting what would the meltdown look like if we lost to Georgia State? Would an NDSU-type meltdown ensue?

It wouldn't even be close Georgia St is one of the top mid majors, a loss to them would just be a small bump in the road with next to no long term implications.

Fred has earned my trust by improving the team through the season and peaking in March. CPR has not proved that he can do that.

Aren't we going to be missing 2-3 players for that game? Would be disappointing, but not meltdown worthy.

How is this any different than football? NDSU is the top FCS school by the widest of margins.

Mid-majors knock off major schools all the time in basketball. Good major schools. There's a lot more parity in basketball.

FCS schools beating FBS schools? Not so much. Most "Power 5" conferences have won 95-99% of their games against FCS opponents.

The difference is that I'd expect the basketball team to make adjustments and play hard in the second half if we went in down by 3. The football team didn't make any changes at all and quit.
