Series History
Friday's game against Minot State will be the 23rd meeting between the teams with the Huskies holding an 18-6 advantage. The teams matched up against each other twice last year with each team capturing a win.
The first matchup saw the Huskies put together a strong start as they took a 10-3 lead early in the first half. Luke Taylor had a strong start as he scored nine of his 13 points in the opening half including six consecutive points for St. Cloud State to give it a 16-12 lead. An 18-5 run by Minot gave them a seven-point lead with 5:05 left in the 1st half, but back-to-back three-pointers by Anish Ramlall and Matt Willert quickly cut that lead back to one. The rest of the half went back and forth, but the Huskies headed into halftime trailing by one point after Jamiir Allen made a buzzer beating right-handed layup as time expired. Coming out of the break, St. Cloud used a 7-3 run to capture a three-point lead with five of those points coming from Lucas Morgan. The game continued to go back and forth until the 5:05 mark when the Beavers embarked on a 16-2 to put away the Huskies. Allen cashed in a jumper with 3:01 to bring the Huskies within four points, but St. Cloud could not get over the dam and went scoreless the remainder of the game. Minot State came away with an 85-70 victory at Halenbeck Hall.
In Minot for the second meeting, the Huskies got off to a sluggish start going scoreless for the first four minutes of the game but only trailed 7-2. St. Cloud State quickly made-up ground with consecutive threes by Joe Mutimer and Matt Willert to bring itself within three. The Beavers worked quickly to build up a lead, going on a 7-0 run over the next two minutes to extend its lead to 10. Minot State maintained control for most of the first half and held a 15-point lead with just under six minutes left in the half. Despite the lead, St. Cloud State closed the half on a 14-4 run, including an 8-0 run, and trailed 36-31 at the break. During the run, the Huskies knocked down three three-pointers with makes by Mutimer, Craig Steele and Anish Ramlall. Wyatt Hawks scored the remaining five points as the Huskies went into halftime with momentum in their favor.
The Huskies shot 37% from the field in the first half but made six of their 13 three-point attempts. Minot State shot 45% from the field, but only connected on two of its 11 three-point attempts. St. Cloud State cut the deficit to three-points early in the second half after Ramlall drained a three-pointer. MISU started to build up another lead after going on a 9-2 run, going up 48-38 with 15 minutes left in the game. The Beavers built their lead up to 13 points with 11:23 remaining. The Huskies fought back with a 6-0 run that was capped off by a Hawks baseline jumper, but the Beavers countered with an 11-2 run of its own that included a demoralizing three-point make by Jaxson Gunville that was intended as a pass. The unintentional basket gave Minot State a 68-52 lead with 5:50 left in the game.
Lucas Morgan quickly countered the three-point gift of the Beavers with a three-pointer of his own, giving the Huskies life. Jamiir Allen finished consecutive layups at the rim, one after he ripped the ball away from Caleb Van De Griend and took it coast to coast. St. Cloud State forced another miss and Morgan finished a layup on the other end, leading to a timeout by Minot State with the Huskies now only trailing by seven with just under four minutes remaining. Coming out of the timeout, Minot State missed a layup which led to a huge three by Nate Dahl off an assist by Ramlall, cutting the lead to four. Allen finished another layup to cut the lead to two with two minutes remaining. On the ensuing possession, Ramlall picked the pocket of Connor Hollenbeck and passed it ahead to Morgan who finished the fastbreak layup, tying the game at 68 with 1:43 remaining. With 48 ticks on the clock, Hawks was fouled on a layup. He made both free throws, giving the Huskies a 70-68 advantage, their first lead of the game. The Beavers went in desperation mode as Hollenbeck missed another layup. Allen grabbed the rebound and was fouled. The then freshman made one of his two attempts, pushing the lead to three-points with 27 seconds left. Now in need of a three-pointer, Dahl and the Huskies turned up the heat on defense and forced a tough three-point attempt by Jalen Cook which missed. Dahl came away with the rebound and was fouled. Dahl, needing to make just one free throw to virtually put the game away, made the first free throw to give the Huskies a four-point lead with 12 seconds left. The Huskies forced another miss to come away with a 72-68 win, stunning the 15th ranked Minot State Beavers on their home floor. Over the final 5:50, St. Cloud State went on a 20-0 run to escape with the victory. The Huskies put on the clamps in the final stretch, forcing Minot State into 10 missed shots and two turnovers.
Saturday's game against Minnesota Crookston will be the 43rd meeting all-time between the programs with the Huskies holding a 38-4 advantage and have won nine consecutive games over the Golden Eagles including both of their matchups last season.
The first matchup at Halenbeck Hall saw the Huskies surge out to an 8-0 lead after Luke Taylor scored five points in the opening five minutes. The Huskies led by eight points multiple times in the first half, but the Eagles found their wings and ended the half on a 12-2 run including a go-ahead and-one layup with one second left in the half.
The Huskies found themselves flying coming out of the halftime, opening the half on a 15-0 run and turned what was a three-point halftime deficit into a 12-point lead. During that run, the duo of Joe Mutimer and Vance Peiffer set up 11 of the 15 points including an and-one layup by Peiffer. Mutimer set up the play after he froze his defender with a hesitation dribble to get in the lane, drew in the weakside defender, and then dumped it down into Peiffer who made the layup and converted the three-point play. Peiffer splashed a three-pointer off another dime by Mutimer to cap off the 15-0 Huskies run. Peiffer finished the game with 10 points. St. Cloud led the rest of the game despite Crookston coming within one point of the Huskies. In the final 7:35 of the game, St. Cloud iced the game by making 10 of their 14 free throw attempts coming away with a 64-60 victory.
The second game in Crookston saw the Golden Eagles hold an early 6-5 before St. Cloud State started to take command of the game as Lucas Morgan capped off a 9-0 Huskies run by converting an and-one layup on a fastbreak. The Huskies then pushed its lead to 16 points as Matt Willert cashed back-to-back three-pointers and Jamiir Allen finished a left-handed layup to force a UMC timeout at the 10:05 mark with SCSU holding a 27-11 lead. The Huskies led by 14+ points for the remainder of the half and took a 42-24 lead into the break.
St. Cloud State put together a complete half of basketball, shooting 58% from the field and 66% from three-point range. On the defensive end, the Huskies forced Minnesota Crookston to shoot a mere 30% from the field and 16% from beyond the arc.

Luke Taylor and Nate Dahl stopped the bleeding with back-to-back layups, pushing the lead back up to 15 points. The Golden Eagles did not go away, using a 9-0 run to bring themselves back within two possessions, trailing 50-44 at the 11:18 mark of the second half. With the game tightening up and momentum in favor of the Golden Eagles, Willert took over the game for St. Cloud State, scoring 15 of the next 16 points for the Huskies, including three three-pointers giving SCSU a 67-50 lead with just over five minutes left in the game.
