For the first time in 21 years and third time in program history, the Wayne State College men's basketball team has qualified for the NCAA Central Regional Tournament.  The Wildcats face MSU Moorhead Saturday in the tournament opener at 6 p.m. at the Barnett Center on the campus of Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota.
            WSC earned the #4 seed for the tournament with an 11-6 regular season record while MSU Moorhead is the #5 seed at 10-4.
            The two teams did not face each other this season and were supposed to meet in the NSIC Tournament semi-finals on Saturday, February 27th when the game was canceled due to COVID-19 protocols with the Wildcat program.
            WSC holds a 23-17 lead in the all-time series vs. MSU Moorhead, but the Dragons have won the last 10 matchups against the Wildcats including two wins last season.  MSUM won in Wayne in the regular season last year 82-71 and edged the Wildcats in the first round of the NSIC Tournament in Moorhead last February 26th by a score of 69-65.
