EL PASO, Texas – South Dakota State will participate in the 62nd annual WestStar Don Haskins Sun Bowl Invitational from Dec. 20-21, as the Sun Bowl Association and WestStar announced the tournament field this past week.
Â
The Jackrabbits will compete in the event held in the Don Haskins Center. SDSU opens the Invite by taking on Wyoming at 5 p.m. MST (6 p.m. CST), while host UTEP faces Norfolk State immediately following the contest. The losers of both games play at 5 p.m. the next day followed by the winners of the opening-round matchups.Â

The 2023 WestStar Don Haskins Invitational will be the 62nd edition of the tournament held in El Paso. Last year, NCAA Tournament participant Kent State – which SDSU faced and lost to in early December – won the title over UTEP.Â

South Dakota State has previously had two non-conference games released for the upcoming season as part of the Big Sky-Summit League Challenge. The Jackrabbits are currently slated to face Weber State in Ogden, Utah, on Jan. 3. SDSU is scheduled to host Montana State on Jan. 6 in Brookings.Â
