GRAND FORKS, N.D. – The North Dakota Men's Basketball team has added center Amar Kuljuhovic from Lake Land College, a junior college in Illinois. The big man played two seasons at Lake Land and in his second season averaged a double-double with 12 points per game and 10 rebounds per game. He was one of the top ten rebounders in the nation at the junior college level last season and named to the All-Region 24 team.

Coach Paul Sather was delighted to pick up the big man, saying, "Amar was ranked nationally as one of the top rebounders in the country.  He averaged 10.2 per game, with 4.4 on the offensive side of the floor.  He plays with a great physicality with a motor that doesn't stop.  He has the ability to stretch the floor with his shooting, but gets most of his work done around the basket, finishing 60% of his shots around the rim.  We feel Amar could be a versatile player on both sides of the floor and allows us to play with bigger lineups."
