South Dakota State returns to Brookings to host a pair of Summit League games against Omaha and Kansas City Thursday and Saturday.
The Jackrabbits enter the weekend with a 12-3 overall record and 2-0 mark in Summit League action. SDSU is the only team that picked up two wins in the opening week of conference play. The Jacks are coming off a 79-42 win at Denver during which the team shot better than 60 percent from the field and had two players score at least 20 points - Brooklyn Meyer (21) and Madison Mathiowetz (20).
Omaha is 9-5 on the season and went 1-0 last week to start the conference slate. After a 1-4 start to the season, UNO is 8-1 since November 26. The Mavericks beat North Dakota 71-66 in Omaha last week behind 24 points from freshman Ja Harvey and 21 from Grace Cave. That duo combined for nine steals against the Fighting Hawks.
