SIOUX FALLS, S.D. South Dakota built a double-digit, second-half lead only to see North Dakota State rally late to earn a 79-75 Summit League Tournament semifinal win inside the Sanford Pentagon Monday night.
The Bison (15-11) got 20 points from Rocky Kreuser and 16 from Sam Griesel to advance to Tuesday’s championship game against fourth-seeded Oral Roberts. The duo combined for 29 second-half points and scored all 19 Bison points in the final 6:10.
South Dakota (14-11) got a game-high 23 points, nine rebounds and five assists from senior star Stanley Umude along with 19 points from Xavier Fuller and 14 each from Tasos Kamateros and Kruz Perrott-Hunt. But foul trouble plagued USD for much of the game and the Bison made 24-of-31 from the free-throw line to overcome the Coyotes’ shooting advantage.
