The Mavericks are led by a pair of All-Summit Honorable Mention selections in junior guard CJ Carter and senior center John Karhoff. Carter paced the Mavericks with 13.9 points per game this season, while Karhoff came in at 13.1 points per contest.

North Dakota brings a record of 17-16 (12-8 Big Sky) after falling 88-67 to top-seeded Weber State at the Big Sky championship game on Saturday.
