FARGO, N.D. – The North Dakota State men’s basketball team will get an early start on the 2023-24 season with a trip to Costa Rica from Aug. 5-12.
The Bison will play two exhibition games while in Costa Rica, on Sunday, Aug. 6, and Monday, Aug. 7.
“We are excited for this tremendous opportunity to grow and strengthen our family as a group,” said NDSU head coach David Richman. “This trip gives us a chance to immerse our new guys who joined us this summer, and at the same time, work to build on the successes we experienced last season.”
“As important as the on-court things are, we’re also looking forward to building the togetherness of our family and learning from the people and culture of Costa Rica,” said Richman.
NCAA basketball teams are permitted to take a foreign tour no more than every four years, and teams are allowed 10 extra practices to prepare at home before departure.
The Bison earned their fifth straight appearance in the Summit League Tournament championship game in 2023.
