North Dakota State defeats Denver 71-69 in a Summit League men's quarterfinal on Midco Sports Network. This game went back and forth as North Dakota State held a 10 point lead for a while until Denver started rattling things of with a 20 to 6 run. Denver’s Robert Jones was all over the floor tonight shooting 10 of 12, 21 points and seven boards. Jones has grown up over the course of his freshman season, kept himself out of foul trouble in this game and makes a huge impact on both ends of the floor. Jase Townsend has played 40 over his last five regular season games and he was huge tonight and kept his team in the game until the end. NDSU’s Tyson Ward was a workhorse, and though it wasn’t his best shooting night, he scored late in the foul to get NDSU to lead. That shot was a big bucket off the kick-out by Vinnie Shahid who didn’t turn it over after getting doubled when his team had no time out. He pulled his signature move twice with step back three-pointers, sinking both shots with the game on the line. North Dakota survives a great effort by Denver. The Bison had just five of 11 from the line in the second half, but the final two from Shahid were the biggest ones, and ended up being the game winners. ✔ Subscribe to MidcoSN: http://gomid.co/SUBSCRIBEtoYOUTUBE ✔ Watch Latest Midco Sports Magazine Episodes: http://gomid.co/MAG MidcoSN on Social Media: ► Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MidcoSN ► Like on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MidcoSN/ ► Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/midcosn/ Midco Sports Network brings you the most up-to-date sports news coverage, scores, highlights and commentary for local and regional sports you care about through live games and original programming.
