What another great game I got to take in tonight. North Dakota State(18-9, 10-4 Conf) blew out Western Illinois(8-17, 5-9 Conf) the first time they played, by the score of 89-57. This time though the Bison needed double overtime, at home to post the win.

Western led for a lot of the 2nd half only to see the Bison force the first overtime, with a nice comeback. The two teams combined for 126 field goal attempts, with Western taking 70 f them.

Leading North Dakota State was Paul Miller/Waukesha, Wis. He had 22 points and 5 rebounds.Carlin Dupree/Milwaukee, WIS has 22 points. Many of his points can be contributed to his quick first step on the way to the hoop.Dexter Werner/Bismarck, ND had 21 points, 9 boards and 5 blocks.

For the Leathernecks,Garret Covington/Edwardsville, IL had 32 points.
