Despite a furious push in the final 10 minutes, the Bemidji State men's basketball team couldn't complete its comeback effort against St. Cloud State in the opening round of the NSIC Tournament.
John Sutherland transferred to Bemidji State after spending a season at Minnesota Duluth. Since then, he's developed into a star for the Beavers, earning multiple All-NSIC First Team nods along the way.
Jack Thompson sent Sioux Falls on to the second round of the NSIC Tournament with a coast-to-coast buzzer-beater that lifted USF to a 68-66 win over Bemidji State.
Bemidji State has now defeated the Dragons in back-to-back games for the first time since 2004 and claims the Century Trophy, new in 2017, for the first time.
