The two teams battled back and forth all night before the Bison notched their 7th victory of the season with a robust 4th quarter.

Three different BCN players finished with 16 points (Tristin Roaldson, Mason Haugen and Tucker Brown) to lead the way for the Bison. The three headed monster of Roaldson, Haugen and Brown were opposed by NGS’ Jamison Fettig who finished with a season high 35 points which included a half court heave at the buzzer to make it a 3 point game.
