North Dakota State shot 51 percent (32 of 63) from the floor, while limiting Mayville State to 21-of-56 shooting (37.5 percent).

The Bison got off to a slow start before closing the first half on a 14-0 run to lead 39-26 at the break. The Comets never recovered as North Dakota State pushed its advantage to 76-51 following Samuelson's final trey with 6:41 left.

Gorg Alhaq had 11 points for Mayville State.
