North Dakota State edges IPFW in Summit tourney, 69-68

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) Carlin Dupree's layup with 4 seconds left lifted fifth-seeded North Dakota State - which trailed by as many at 18 - over No. 4 seed IPFW 69-68 in a Summit League tournament semifinal on Monday night.

The Bison (20-12) will face the winner of second-seeded South Dakota State and No. 6 seed Denver in the title game on Tuesday.

Dupree, who quit the team in January unhappy with his role and returned two weeks later, led the Bison with 22 points. The drama wasn't over after his go-ahead bucket though. He was fouled on the play and missed the free throw. IPFW gathered the loose ball but couldn't get a last-second shot off.

Dupree's bucket gave North Dakota State its only lead of the game.
