The Mastodons and Bison were both shooting over 50% on their three-point attempts, with the 'Dons having a 80-77 lead after trailing by double-figures late in the first half and being down by seven at halftime.
Unfortunately, after a nine-minute stoppage in play, while alarms sounded and pre-recorded messages to fans to vacate the arena (which very few actually did), the only team to be "hot" was NDSU.
The Bison used a 12-3 run once play resumed to carry them to a 89-83 win.
