The Jackrabbits and Bison shared the regular season title last season, but NDSU outlasted the Jacks in the tournament title game to earn the league's NCAA Tournament bid, while the Jackrabbits settled for an NIT berth, where the won their opening round game at Colorado State.

Both teams enter the game looking to start a new winning streak, as the Jacks downed IPFW, 92-76 on Thursday in Brookings, while the Bison beat South Dakota, 66-65, on Wednesday in Fargo.
