ABERDEEN, S.D. - As the Northern State men's and women's basketball teams prepare to kick off the home portion of the 2012-13 season, NSU fans who can't make it to the games can follow along in a variety of ways.  Live stats and live webcast links are available for all six games this weekend, including all four games of the women's classic involving Minnesota State, Black Hills State and South Dakota Mines & Tech.

Beginning this weekend, Northern State will make the switch to Stretch Internet as the webcast provider for all home games.  Links to the webcast, which can be viewed on iOS devices (iPhones, iPads, etc.) and other mobile devices that support Flash media, can be found here.

Games will be available for watching free of charge.  Fans can also watch archived games by clicking on the "on demand" tab.  Links for archived games will be available shortly after the conclusion of the contests.

Live stats will also be available for all home basketball games.  Mobile and static links are available below.
