▪ ABOUT NORTH DAKOTA (5-5): North Dakota has had an up-and-down season. Its best wins have come against Bradley and Bowling Green. But it barely competed against opponents such as Wisconsin and Florida-Gulf Coast. Junior guard Quinton Hooker is the man to stop. He is averaging nearly 18 points per game.
▪ ABOUT KANSAS STATE (8-2): The Wildcats are nearing the end of their nonconference schedule, and they are hoping to close it out with a pair of home victories. Up first is North Dakota, followed by Saint Louis. K-State has had trouble with some teams it was favored to beat, needing late heroics to defeat South Carolina State and Colorado State. Still, the Wildcats are undefeated as a favorite.
