WAHPETON, N.D. – Bismarck State College put up a fight in the first half before North Dakota State College of Science pulled away in the second half to post an 82-60 Mon-Dak Conference men's basketball win. 

Kaleb Larson's 24 points for NDSCS led all scorers. All 24 points came from his eight 3-point baskets. For the game, the Wildcats (16-2 Mon-Dak, 24-3 overall) made 11 of 26 3-point attempts while the Mystics (8-10 Mon-Dak, 10-14 overall) were just 3-for-13 while shooting 46 percent overall.
