With their upset win over Oklahoma last night (March 20), the North Dakota State men's basketball team has been thrust into the national spotlight.

Sites all over are capitalizing on NDSU's surprise win in the NCAA Tournament. Deadspin, for example, decided to rank NDSU's players, based on how "North Dakota" their names are.

Here is Deadspin's list:

  1. Marshall Bjorklund
  2. Jordan Aaberg
  3. Brett VandenBergh
  4. Dexter Werner
  5. Joel Lindberg
  6. Zach Checkal
  7. Mike Felt
  8. Fred Newell
  9. Chris Kading
  10. A.J. Jacobson
  11. Lawrence Alexander
  12. Kory Brown
  13. Taylor Braun
  14. Carlin Dupree
  15. TrayVonn Wright

Obviously, the list is meant to be satirical, putting the more Scandinavian names towards the top. Either way, still pretty amusing.
