It was the Nanook's second straight win to improve to 2 – 12 overall and 2 – 4 in Great Northwest Athletic Conference play.

“It was a really good win,” Head Coach Phil Shoemaker said. “Billings has proven to be a good opponent ... You have to find ways to be a couple points better at the end of the night and I'm really happy we were able to do that.”
