The Pacific Tigers and the North Dakota State Bison meet in college basketball action from the Scheels Center on Sunday afternoon.

Jordan Ivy-Curry led the way with 23 points on 9 of 17 shooting with 4 threes and a pair of steals while Donovan Williams added 17 points as the only other double-digit scorer for Pacific in the loss. Luke Avdalovic added 9 points with 3 threes and 4 steals while Judson Martindale added a team-high 5 rebounds as well in the defeat.

The North Dakota State Bison will hope to bounce back after an 82-59 loss to Kansas in their last game. Grant Nelson led the way with 11 points along with a team-high 9 rebounds while Boden Skunberg added 10 points with a team-high 4 assists as the only other double-digit scorer for North Dakota State in the losing effort. Lance Waddles also chipped in 9 points with 3 threes and 5 rebounds as well in the defeat for the Bison.

Pacific is 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS win and 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a loss while the over is 6-0 in their last 6 games overall. North Dakota State is 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Sunday games while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400.

I get the case to be made for either side in this game, as both played some tough opposition and covered as sizeable underdogs. That being said, I do like what North Dakota State’s bringing to the table just a little bit more than I do Pacific, and I just think this is a game that the Bison win and cover at the foul line late. Give me the Bison laying the points here.
