With both teams boasting strong defensive profiles, the edge will likely come down to which squad can outmuscle their opponents on the glass.
For N Dakota St, this game represents an opportunity to silence critics and prove that their potent offense is not just a flash in the pan. The Fighting Hawks have been quietly building momentum throughout the season, with standout performances from Damari Wheeler-Thomas and Trevian Carson.
