TIED FOR 1ST!!!

FAYETTE, Iowa – After leading by as many as 17 in the first half, the Northern State University Wolves had to work to preserve a 63-58 win over the host Upper Iowa University Peacocks Saturday evening in Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference men’s basketball action.

The win, which moved NSU to 11-2 overall and 4-2 in conference play, also marked the 902nd career victory for head coach Don Meyer, who is now tied with Bob Knight for most career wins by an NCAA men’s coach. Meyer and Knight are the only two coaches in NCAA men’s basketball history to reach the 900-win plateau.
