Yep, came off the bench and had a great game; 23 points on 13 shots. Didn't watch but looks like he was the main reason they were in the game at all. Dentlinger only scored 2 points in 13 minutes (got hurt???), Wilson was in foul trouble, and Sheierman went 0-7 from 3.
The one thing I've noticed over the years is the Bunnies don't played scared or timid no matter who they play. Doesn't always equal wins but they do carry a level of confidence into big games.

They play a very freestyle offense that gives them flow, but the culture certainly has its drawbacks defensively. It's fun to watch how vastly different NDSU and SDSU's culture is, and every time they play each other it collides into a very close and usually high scoring game. NDSU can't barely hit 60 points for UND but then play SDSU and scores 75 with ease.
Absolutely ugly win but it was a win. I'm going to attribute some of the sloppy play to the fact that they were likely distracted mentally from their teammate/leader/brother Sam having a medical emergency and surgery the night before. That's a long ways to travel and then deal with that and then try to get ready to play an early afternoon game after all of it. Just looked like they lacked some focus and it's understandable. Not only mentally but your entire gameplan goes out the window when you lose your leader who plays 30 plus minutes for you just hours before the game. I think they'll come out more prepared and ready to go Monday.
UNLV beat Cal by 3. Cal was pretty bad last year.
