Bison rumble into NCAA tourney behind first Summit League title

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

03/10/2009 - Sioux Falls, SD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ben Woodside nailed a jumper with 3.3 seconds remaining, as North Dakota State rallied to upend Oakland, 66-64, and capture the Summit League crown.

Woodside finished with 17 points, seven assists and five rebounds for the Bison (26-6), who earned their first bid to the NCAA Tournament. Michael Tveidt was a perfect 4-for-4 from beyond the arc as part of a 21-point effort for North Dakota State, which closed the game on an 18-4 run.

Will Hudson and Erik Kangas scored 16 points apiece, while Keith Benson logged 14 points and added 11 rebounds with three blocks for the Golden Grizzlies (22-12), who were riding a school-record nine-game win streak.

Brett Winkelman muscled in a layup while being fouled and his free throw drew North Dakota State to within six at 48-42 roughly three minutes into the second half, but Kangas knocked down a trey to expand the Grizzlies' lead to 60-48 midway through the frame.

The Bison clawed their way back down the stretch, as Oakland made just two field goals the rest of the way.

Tveidt sank his final three-pointer to give North Dakota State a 64-62 lead with about 1 1/2 minutes left.

Benson had a chance to even things up, but came away empty-handed at the foul line with 1:10 to go. After Woodside missed a triple, Benson grabbed the rebound and Oakland immediately called timeout to diagram a play.

Following the stoppage, Benson powered his way to the hoop and his dunk tied the game with 11.4 seconds remaining.

Woodside then promptly ran the court and drained the winning shot to complete the come-from-behind victory.

Oakland raced out to a 22-10 lead seven minutes into the contest, and a Benson jumper made it 33-19 in favor of the Golden Grizzlies with about 7 1/2 minutes remaining.

Oakland led by as much as seven the rest of the way and carried a 43-33 advantage to the break.
