KEY STORYLINES
- The Jacks have reached 20 wins for the 15th consecutive season. SDSU is one of only a handful of programs with an active streak that long (Baylor, UConn, Louisville, South Carolina).
- South Dakota State goes into the final week looking to lock up the No. 2 seed for next week's Summit League Tournament in Sioux Falls. A 2-0 week for SDSU would clinch the No. 2 seed.
- Brooklyn Meyer averaged 31.5 PPG, 6.5 RPG, 3.0 APG, 3.0 BPG and 1.5 SPG across two wins last week, earning her Summit League Peak Performer of the Week honors. She scored a program-record 44 points at Oral Roberts Thursday night.
