What to watch
The Lake Region State College basketball teams return to Devils Lake Sports Center to play Williston State College. Crossan and the lady Royals have a tall task ahead of them, playing the first-place Tetons — though the confidence boost from beating second-place North Dakota State College of Science should give them a fighting chance.
The men, meanwhile, get to face a last-place Tetons team. The Royals have lost their last four games and will look to end that stretch against a statistically weaker opponent.
The games are at 1 and 3 p.m., respectively.
