It was a really, really awesome night to be a Coyotes fan among the 9,202 people in the PREMIER Center on Friday night. 

South Dakota roared back from a nine-point deficit with under four minutes remaining to knock out North Dakota State 85-84, thanks to Chase Forte's sheer will and the Yotes' patented full-court pressure and a fatigued Bison bunch that was without Summit League leading scorer Jackson Moni and Coyote killer Jacari White, who averaged 26 points in the two regular season wins over USD.

Then, the folks in red watched No. 3 seed South Dakota State miss all but two of their field goal attepts in the last 17 minutes as No. 6 North Dakota came from 14 back to finish on a 50-20 run for a shocking 85-69 win — propeled by a tourney record 51 points from Trey Eaglestaff.

Sioux Falls Live's John Gaskins, Matt Zimmer, and Marcus Traxler discuss how it all happened and what to make of SDSU's 20-win season that ended with a thud. 

Hear from Eaglestaff, UND coach Paul Sather, SDSU coach Eric Henderson, Forte, USD guard Isaac Bruns, and USD coach Eric Peterson after a memorable doubleheader.
