- We had a couple NAIA’s who went in and battled with some NCAA D1’s last night. Neither could quite pull off the upset, but they gave them all they could handle.
- Mount Marty actually had this down to 5 points late in the 2nd half, before South Dakota went on a late run to make it a 15 point loss.
