1/20/2015 6:15:00 PM | Men's Basketball
South Dakota State closes its season-long three game home stand on Wednesday against preseason favorite Fort Wayne. The Jackrabbits and Mastodons tip at 7 p.m.
The Jacks enter the game with a 13-7 overall record, a 4-2 mark in league play and winners of four in a row after an improbable 71-57 win over South Dakota on Saturday that saw the Jacks erase a 20-0 deficit on the way to a 71-57 win.
The Coyotes started the game 6 for 8 from the floor in opening a 20-0 lead, but the Jackrabbits bounced back with a 28-2 run. After opening the game 0 for 15 from the field, SDSU made 11 of its next 15 shots, while the visitors made only two of their next 20 shots from the floor, which included a streak of 15 straight misses, after the 6 for 8 start.
SDSU led 31-29 at halftime, and after three ties and six lead changes in the second half, used a 25-6 run to take its largest lead at 67-50 with 2:20 left in the contest.
Fort Wayne comes to Brookings with an 8-10 overall record, a 1-4 mark in league play and riding a two game losing streak after dropping league games at home to South Dakota, 64-62, on Jan. 10, and at Oral Roberts, 62-58, in its last outing on Saturday.
TONIGHT'S OPPONENT
FORT WAYNE MASTODONS (8-10, 1-4 Summit): Picked first in The Summit League Preseason Poll, the Mastodons opened league play with a 73-67 loss at Western Illinois and a 63-58 home loss to IUPUI before getting its first league win of the season, a 69-53 home win over Denver.
IPFW followed up its lone win with a 64-62 loss at home to South Dakota and a 62-58 loss at Oral Roberts in its last outing on Saturday.
THE SERIES vs. FORT WAYNE
The Jackrabbits lead the all-time series 12-10 after splitting the regular season series last year, with each team winning on its home floor. The Mastodons beat the Jacks 64-60 in The Summit League Championship semifinals on March 10, 2014.
