GRAND FORKS, N.D. (Valley News Live) – The North Dakota Men’s Basketball team is back in the win column thanks to a thrilling 76-72 victory Saturday to snap a two-game losing skid.

A back-and-forth contest, the second half scoring proved to be the difference, as UND outscored Kansas City 44-36 in the final 20 minutes.

The team was especially pleased with its defensive effort after a rough two games, allowing the Roos to only shoot only 41.3-percent from the field.

”I don’t know what flipped the switch, but it wasn’t anything different we did as coaches,” Head Coach Paul Sather said. “It’s the players that can make that difference and make that change.

“They’ve also got to take that, believe it, and trust it as a five man group, go out there and execute.”

North Dakota next hits the court Thursday when UND hosts USD at 7:00 p.m.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.

To the editor,

After watching the smoke and mirrors dog and pony show in Bismarck it is obvious that the Legislature has no intention of reforming the unfair property tax.

No mention was made concerning the unfairness of this tax that severely burdens poor taxpayers, while letting many rich taxpayers off the hook with little to no taxes. Nothing was said about the state totally funding K-12 education, which is mandated by the North Dakota Constitution. If education isn’t funded by the Legislature, all the legislators need to be charged with violating their oath of office and be fined, fired and imprisoned.

Instead, all that is being proposed is to put makeup and lipstick on the pig and tell us they are working on it.

Will they be able to fool the people once again or will the people see that they are once again just putting lipstick on the pig? Time will tell.
