The Bison outlasted Omaha on the road, 71-67. NDSU used a 16-6 run late in the second half to take the lead for good. Rocky Kreuser led all scorers with a season high 25 points, while Tyree Eady followed with 14 points.
NDSU goes back on the road on Monday night against Denver in a game rescheduled from last Thursday.
The Bison women couldn't follow up on a sweep of the Mavericks, falling at home 68-54. Omaha shot 51% from the field, led by Grace Cave with 25 points. Heaven Hamling scored 19 to lead NDSU, which shot just 34.7% and were down as many as 21 points in the first half. The Bison cut it down to 9 in the fourth quarter, but could get no closer.
It's back to the road for Jory Collins' group, who take on St. Thomas for the first time as a Summit League opponent next Thursday.
