BROOKINGS, S.D. — South Dakota State begins a three-game homestand on Thursday when the Jackrabbits host North Dakota State in Frost Arena. Tip-off between the Jacks and Bison is set for 7 p.m. Fans are asked to wear blue as part of the "Blue Out" promotion.Â
SDSU closes out the weekend on Sunday when it takes on South Dakota in Brookings at 4 p.m. as part of the Interstate Series presented by First Interstate Bank.
Â
The Jackrabbits most recently saw a three-game win streak cut down in Tulsa on Saturday, being defeated by Oral Roberts, 87-82. SDSU scored a season-low point total of 26 in the first half, then followed with a season-high second half output of 56 points before falling short. Both teams shot 45%, but ORU took advantage of a 10-6 edge in turnovers forced and connected on more opportunities from the free throw line and from deep.
Â
The Jackrabbits were paced in the contest by Zeke Mayo who scored 23 points. It was his fourth game of 20-plus points in Summit League play. Mayo averages 18.3 points and is tied for a team-lead with William Kyle III at 6.1 rebounds. Scoring double digits this season for SDSU are Kyle III (13.3), Charlie Easley (11.2) and Luke Appel (11.0).
Â
South Dakota State, at 12-10 overall, sits atop The Summit League standings at 5-2 in conference play. Five other league members have at least a .500 record as several teams hit the midway point of the conference schedule. NDSU is 2-4 in league action with wins over Kansas City and ORU, while South Dakota is 2-5 with wins over NDSU and St. Thomas.
Â
The Bison enter Thursday's matchup at 9-12 overall. North Dakota State is paced by double digit scorers in Boden Skunberg (15.1), Damari Wheeler-Thomas (12.8) and Andrew Morgan (11.4). NDSU ranks 19th in the country in 3-point percentage at a 38.3% clip, while the Bison's 47.8% field goal percentage only trails the Jackrabbits' 48.3% mark.
Â
The NDSU-SDSU all-time series dates back to 1910 and features the Bison holding a 122-113 edge overall. The Jackrabbits are 66-46 all-time in Brookings. The two sides split their regular season matchups a season ago, though NDSU ended SDSU's 2022-23 campaign with an 89-79 victory in The Summit League Tournament semifinals.
