December 15 - The NDSCS men’s basketball team has won its fourth straight game. The Wildcats defeated the University of Manitoba on Saturday (Dec. 15) afternoon 81-70.

The University of Manitoba is in the University system in Canada, which allows students five years of athletic eligibility compared to two years of athletic eligibility at NDSCS.

NDSCS started the game flat trailing 48-46 at halftime thanks in part to Manitoba shooting 61.5 percent from the field with eight three-point baskets. The second half was a different story. The Wildcats picked up their defensive pressure forcing Manitoba into 15 second-half turnovers.

NDSCS was led by James Eayrs with 26 points and Jaden Voth with 15 points. Former NDSCS men’s basketball player Isaac Ansah led Manitoba in scoring with 25 points. Ansah was a starter for the Wildcats in 2005 when they took seventh place at the National Tournament in Hutchinson, Kansas.
