Ponte Buggianese, Italy -- The North Dakota men's basketball team moved to 2-0 on its 2015 European Tour with an 83-61 victory over Dream Team Italy Select on Friday.

Junior guard Quinton Hooker led the team in scoring for the second-consecutive night, pouring in 18 points, while three more joined the Minneapolis native in double figures.

That trio included Geno Crandall, who scored 13 points to go with seven rebounds and a team-high six assists, forward Drick Bernstine, who was 6-for-6 from the field and had a team-high nine rebounds to go with his 13 points and JUCO-transfer Corey Baldwin, who had 12 points and six rebounds.

"I thought we got off to a really fast start, then got really complacent more toward the end of the first period and early in the second one," UND head coach Brian Jones said. "We got out fast because of our defense and got out to a big lead, then started fouling a ton and really quick shooting.

"We settled down and were able to build the lead back up and came out in the third quarter and played strong again to stretch out the lead even more."

UND never trailed in the contest after racing out to a 14-3 lead. Freshman Cortez Seales scored all of his six points in the opening quarter to help pace the team early.

The Italy squad would close to within 20-15 with an early second-quarter run, but UND would answer with an 11-0 spurt to put the game out of the reach. Hooker had seven-straight during that stretch and UND would build a 37-21 lead at the break.

It was more of the same in the third quarter as Italy continued to struggle to score and Hooker and company pushed the lead to as many 31 points at 61-30 with just under three minutes to play in the third quarter.

Bernstine never missed from the field, knocking down three baskets in each half and Hooker had 11 of his 18 after halftime.

Crandall led the defensive effort, collecting five of the team's 15 steals in the contest.

After a much-needed day off, UND will take on a professional team from Lithuania at the same gym on Sunday evening.

Scorers - Hooker 18, Bernstine 13, Crandall 13, Baldwin 12, Shanks 8, Seales 6, Blake 3, Hobaugh 3, Avants 2, Cashman 1
