South Dakota State returned home from its season-long seven game road swing to host one game, a 75-44 win over Western Illinois on Wednesday, but gets right back on the road for a game at Omaha on Saturday in Ralston, Neb., against the Mavericks.
The Jackrabbits enter the game with a 10-7 record, and can even their Summit League record at 2-2 with a win over the Mavericks, who enter the game with a 7-8 record and the same 31-2 mark in league play, after dropping a 75-72 game against North Dakota State on Thursday in their first league home game of the season.
SDSU got 17 points from George Marshall in his home debut against the Fighting Leathernecks on Wednesday, with Cody Larson and Deondre Parks both adding 14 points in the win, which snapped a four game skid and extended the Jacks home winning streak to 10 games. Jake Bittle added eight points in the win, two of which game a possession after losing half of his front tooth diving for a loose ball.
Mike Rostampour and Tre'Shawn Thurman led four Mavs in double figures with 18 points in the loss to the Bison on Thursday, with CJ Carter adding 14 and Devin Patterson 11 points in the loss.
