Get To Know A Marquette Basketball Opponent: North Dakota Fighting Hawks

Location: Grand Forks, North Dakota

I’m not even going to try to pretend that I actually know where that is. About 80 miles north of Fargo, directly along the Minnesota/North Dakota border. In fact, there’s an East Grand Forks that is actually in Minnesota on the other side of the Red River. Grand Forks is actually equidistant between Fargo and the US/Canada border.

Founded: 1883

Enrollment: 14,648, with 11,255 undergraduates

What’s notable about the school? In addition to having the only law and medicine schools in the state, UND’s School of Aerospace Sciences was the first college/school in the country to offer a degree in unmanned aircraft systems operations, and that sounds super badass.
