GRAND FORKS, N.D. - The North Dakota men's basketball team seeks their third straight win as they head to Stockton, Calif. for the return of a home-and-home series with the Pacific Tigers. Last season the Tigers won in Grand Forks, and the Fighting Hawks seek to return the favor this year. It will be the first of two trips to the Golden State this year, as NoDak will go back at the start of December for games against Cal State Fullerton and UC Riverside.

North Dakota will travel to Stockton, Calif. to take on Pacific University at the Alex G. Spanos Center Monday, Nov. 20. Paul Ralston will be on the call on the Home of Economy Radio Network, and the game can be seen on ESPN+.
