Eastern & Weber tied at the half. Bliznyuk has more than half of EWU's points.

NoDak leads by 4 at the half after trailing by 10 early. Defense optional thus far…

Geno Crandall makes a transition layup with 7 seconds left to force overtime. Senglin inexplicably gave the ball up instead of going for the game-winner himself (the 3-pointer was blocked).

NoDak prevails by 4 in OT after Senglin appeared to run out of gas.
