HIGHLIGHTS: North Dakota ends two-game skid for 76-72 victory against Kansas City
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.
