Jason Ramstad manages Chubs Pub a few blocks from the NDSU campus. He had a big crowd for the first game and expects a full house for the second game.
If the Bison win they will be one of 16 teams still in the tournament.
"And I think if they get a second win I think it's huge. You get a sweet 16 as a mid major school that's a big thing. The fact that they're just rolling off three straight football championships, I think it's great for the community," he said.
A good showing in the tournament is expected to help NDSU recruit student athletes and raise more money for athletic programs.
