South Dakota State men's basketball begins conference play on the road Monday when the Jackrabbits visit Tulsa to take on Oral Roberts. The two teams picked atop The Summit League Preseason Poll are slated to tipoff in the Mabee Center at 7 p.m.
The Jackrabbits and Golden Eagles match up for the first time since a 106-102 overtime affair ended in SDSU's favor on Feb. 24 of last season. The Jackrabbits trailed by as many as 13 before shooting their way back into the contest to open the second half. SDSU was led by Luke Appel's 41 points and 10 rebounds as well as Douglas Wilson's 29 points.
SDSU holds a 19-11 all-time series edge over the Golden Eagles. The Jackrabbits' all-time best win streak of seven over ORU spanned from Feb. 4, 2017 to Jan. 29, 2020. The Golden Eagles are 7-7 at home against the Jacks. ORU's last win in the series came in the 2021 Summit League Tournament. ORU ended SDSU's season that year with a 90-88 victory in the conference semis.
The Jacks have won two consecutive games. SDSU is coming off a 77-76 thriller over Eastern Washington (Dec. 10) and an 85-56 victory against Mount Marty (Dec. 12). The Jacks' win over the Eags featured a 23-point comeback with less than nine minutes to play, while SDSU led for nearly 38 minutes in its defeat of the Lancers.
SDSU is 5-7 overall this season. The Jackrabbits halted a four-game losing streak, its longest in five years, with the win over EWU. Heading into conference play, SDSU has been led by Zeke Mayo who surpassed 500 points and 100 assists in his college career last time out. Matt Dentlinger joined Alex Arians as 1,000 point scorers at SDSU in the win over EWU.
ORU is 9-3 overall and on a six-game win streak following an 80-77 victory over Missouri State on Friday. Preseason Player of the Year Max Abmas leads a trio of double digit scorers with 19.9 per game. The Golden Eagles are 10th in Division I in scoring (85.3) and seventh in 3-pointers (11.1).
