The No. 1 Kindred girls basketball team used a big first half to earn some redemption on its regional rival with a 70-56 victory in front of a rambunctious Central Cass gymnasium.

Five days separated both games for North Dakota men's basketball against South Dakota State. The second time around went much better than the first, but ended in UND's eleventh straight loss, 70-64.

The Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals will each advance to Super Bowl LVI after exciting wins Sunday, Jan. 30.

It looked like North Dakota State men's basketball had lost another close game in Summit League play. A replay showed otherwise. The Bison capitalized on an extra five minutes, outscoring South Dakota 14-2 in overtime for a 74-62 win.

Dom Izzo gives kudos to the NDHSAA for fixing one wrong with high school football. But there's another problem out there looming, he says.

The Bison were a machine to close the first half and went on to a 77-56 Summit League men's basketball win over St. Thomas in the first game between the two programs since the 1966-67 season.

Enderlin head boys basketball coach Calvin Kraft knew a win over Central Cass wouldn't come easy. "We knew it was gonna be a battle," Kraft said. "It was gonna be a full house here at Central Cass. They were ranked high and undefeated."

Hudson Swafford went eagle-birdie at the 16th and 17th holes to cap a busy final round and win The American Express on Sunday in La Quinta, Calif., beating Fargo's Tom Hoge by two shots.

The North Dakota State men's and women's basketball teams both looked destined for victories Tuesday night. Both let wins slip away in the fourth quarter.

There was a time when D1 recruiters would ignore North Dakota high school basketball, saying the competition level just wasn't good enough. That time is over, Dom Izzo says.
