MSU MENS BASKETBALL-HONOR
MINOT, N.D. (MSU) – Friday night, junior forward Connor Hollenbeck led the way for the 21st-ranked Beavers in an upset of then No. 1-ranked Minnesota State, Mankato, turning in his first double-double of the season. Saturday, Hollenbeck turned in his second straight double-double as he helped Minot State earn a weekend sweep, and in the process, Hollenbeck earned NSIC Player of the Week honors as announced by the league on Monday. Hollenbeck averaged 14.5 points and 10 rebounds on the weekend as he scored a team-high 19 points in the Beavers’ 81-71 upset of the Mavericks on Friday. He also grabbed 10 rebounds in the win. Saturday, the junior from Rapid City, South Dakota again hauled in 10 boards and was one of three Minot State players to score 10 points in a 77-70 victory over Winona State. Hollenbeck finished the weekend shooting 11-of-22 from the field and added in four steals, three assists, and blocked a shot for Minot State. The honor is the first for Hollenbeck, and the first for a Minot State player this season. Minot State now hits the road for games at Augustana on Thursday and at Wayne State on Saturday.

WOLVES-HORNETS
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Karl-Anthony Towns scored a franchise-record 62 points, including 44 in the first half, but the Charlotte Hornets erased an 18-point deficit and stunned the Minnesota Timberwolves 128-125 on Monday night. Towns managed just four points on 2-for-10 shooting in the fourth quarter, when the Timberwolves were outscored 36-18. He thought he was fouled on a drive to the basket in the closing seconds and Minnesota trailing by one, then was short on a 3-point attempt on the final possession. Miles Bridges scored 28 points and Brandon Miller had 27 for the Hornets. Leaky Black ripped the ball away from Towns on his way to the basket to preserve the Hornets’ 10th victory of the season. Towns finished 21 for 35 from the floor, including 10 for 15 from 3-point range, and now owns the top three scoring outputs in the Wolves’ 35-year history. Towns’ desperation 3 inside the final second ensured the 21st time in NBA history a player has scored 60 or more points in a loss. Charlotte, the NBA’s No. 27 team in offensive rating, shot a season-high 58.1% from the floor. The Timberwolves now visit Washington on Wednesday with a two game losing streak.
