North Dakota has won four of five, while Western Illinois has dropped three in a row. Unusual start time of 11 am local, and I have no idea why. Maybe it's not 50 below in Grand Forks that time of day in February. I honestly don't have a strong opinion here, but it's a standalone game so we have to. The Leathernecks did beat North Dakota 92-80 earlier this season, so I'll take the points now that it's more than one possession. WIU also has the best player on the floor in guard Trenton Massner (18.6 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 5.3 apg).
