N. Dakota St. dismantles N. Dakota for Summit crown | |
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) For the fifth time in school history, North Dakota State is headed to the NCAA tournament, and this time it was never in doubt. The top-seeded Bison led from start to finish and overwhelmed No. 6 North Dakota 89-53 in the Summit League Tournament championship game on Tuesday night and secured the automatic tournament bid. NDSU's leading scorer, Vinnie Shahid, led the Bison with 25 points on 8-of-14 shooting. Shahid entered the game averaging 18.2 points per game, but he blew by that early in the second half. Tyson Ward scored 15 of his 23 points in the second half for the Bison. He finished with a double-double by also grabbing a game-high 13 rebounds. MORE | |
