Let's Play Two: Wednesday will be the first meeting of two this season between NDSU and UND. The Bison travel to Grand Forks on Dec. 16. The two schools haven't played twice in the same season since 2003-04 in North Central Conference play.
 
Tough at Home: The Bison have won four straight in Fargo against North Dakota, with NDSU's last home loss in the series coming in 2003.
 
On the Glass: NDSU ripped down 20 offensive rebounds on the way to an impressive 47-25 rebounding margin in its win at North Carolina A&T on Dec. 2. It was the first time since Dec. 4, 2010, that the Bison grabbed at least 20 offensive boards against a Division I opponent. Paul Miller led NDSU with five offensive rebounds.
 
Balanced Attack: The Bison exhibited their most balanced scoring attack in more than two years in their victory at North Carolina A&T on Dec. 2. Five Bison scored between 12 and 16 points. The last time that happened was the final game at the Bison Sports Arena – a 78-68 win over Denver on March 1, 2014.
                NDSU's scoring balance even reached one step further. The five Bison between 12 and 16 points consisted of two seniors, one junior, one sophomore and one freshman.
 
Geu Breaks Through: Redshirt freshman Deng Geu broke out for a season-high 18 points in 20 minutes of action at No. 7 Xavier on Nov. 29. He made seven of his first eight shots and registered three blocks against the Musketeers.
 
All-Around Performer: Within the past five games, Paul Miller has set or matched his single-game career highs in rebounds (10), assists (4), steals (4) and blocks (2).
 
Few Fouls: The Bison rank 16th in the nation for fewest fouls committed per game. NDSU has committed an average of just 15.7 fouls per game through the first nine contests.
 
Impressive Victory: High Point's 44 points on Nov. 20 were the lowest total for a Bison opponent since NDSU held North Dakota to 42 on Dec. 13, 2014. The 26-point margin was the second-largest margin of victory for the Bison over a Division I opponent in the Richman era.
 
Hot Hand: A.J. Jacobson went a perfect 6-for-6 from three-point range vs. UNC Greensboro on Nov. 19, scoring 18 points to lead all players.
