Off to its best start at the Division I level, South Dakota State looks to continue its winning ways on Thursday at IUPUI where the Jackrabbits look to start Summit League play 3-0 against the Jaguars at 6 p.m. ET, 7 p.m. CT.
SDSU, which started league play 5-0 in 2011-12 on its way to earning its first-ever NCAA Tournament bid, plays its first league road game of the season after posting a home wins over both Denver and Western Illinois last week.
The Jacks came out cold against Denver in their league opener, making just three of their first 16 shots, but they fought through it, held off a late Pioneer run and landed five players in double figures in a 68-59 win.
The visiting Leathernecks Sunday's game 6 of 8 from the floor, while the Jacks started 3 of 11, as Western opened up a 26-15 lead before a late SDSU surge cut the lead to 32-27 at halftime.
The Jackrabbits fought back to tie the game in the second half, and then after 11 lead changes, took the lead for good en route to a 63-59 come-from-behind win.
THE OPPONENT
IUPUI JAGUARS (5-12, 1-1 Summit, 3-0 Home): Picked to finish sixth in The Summit League Preseason Poll, the Jaguars opened league play with a 77-66 win at South Dakota on Jan. 1, only to fall 76-71 two days later at Omaha.
IUPUI opened the season with a win at Indiana State, but enters Thursday's game still in search of its first winning streak of the season and looks to avoid its fifth separate losing streak of the season.
THE SERIES vs. IUPUI
The Jacks lead the all-time series 12-6, with wins in each of the last 11 meetings. IUPUI last beat the Jacks on Jan. 15, 2011; an 81-76 Jags win in Indianapolis.
