It looked like a game that got away from the North Dakota State men.
South Dakota came out of halftime red hot, going on a 23-6 run to take a 59-42 lead with less than 10 minutes to play inside the SHAC.
Then it was the Bison's turn to get hot. NDSU stormed back using a 26-6 run to retake the lead at 68-65, and it still wasn't done. Mason Archambault nailed a three with 10 seconds to play to tie the game up at 74-74, but the Bison had one more response.
Sam Griesel calmly hit a spinning bank shot with nearly one second left to go to ultimately propel NDSU to a 76-74 win. Rocky Kreuser led all scorers with 28 points, while Griesel put up 10 rebounds in 39 minutes.
Tom Hoge's still letting the reality of winning a PGA Tour event sink in. 24 hours after the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Hoge's phone is still buzzing. Now that he's got the win, there's one thing most are asking about: The Masters. Hoge qualified for one of golf's holy grail tournaments with the win, an event he's always dreamed of playing in.
