Aberdeen, S.D. - The Northern State University men's basketball team is set to faceoff against Concordia-St. Paul in the quarterfinal round of the NSIC/Sanford Health Men's Basketball Tournament on Sunday. The Wolves and the Golden Bears will tip-off at 8 p.m., from the Sanford Pentagon, in Sioux Falls. 

The Wolves enter the NSIC quarterfinals after a 73-62 win over Sioux Falls at home. Tydan Storrusten led NSU with 19 points, three rebounds, and three assists in the win. DJ Pollard and Darin Peterka tallied 17 points apiece going 5-for-8 and 5-for-7 from the floor respectively. The six points pushed Bachand over 1,000 career points, earning himself the title of the 50th member of the NSU 1,000 point club. Bachand looks to bounce back after a tough game against the Cougars. Despite the pitfall, he leads the team in scoring (13.6), field goal percentage (60.6%),  rebounds (7.8), and blocks (1.1). Tydan Storrusten has been a staple for the Wolves all season, scoring double-digit points in 20 of Northern's 28 games this season. Ty is also leading the team in assists (3.0) and steals (1.4).
