(August 28, 2026 – Rapid City, S.D.) – South Dakota State University men's basketball is returning to The Monument this fall. The Jackrabbits will take on the University of Northern Colorado Bears in a non-conference matchup at Summit Arena on Saturday, November 14, with tip-off scheduled for 2 p.m. MT.
The matchup is a rematch of the November 2024 contest between the Jackrabbits and Bears at Summit Arena and marks the return of the SDSU men's program to Rapid City.
"We are really looking forward to heading out west to Rapid City to take on a very good Northern Colorado basketball team," said SDSU head coach Bryan Petersen. "We can't wait to play at The Monument again and in front of our West River Jackrabbits."
SDSU has built a strong following throughout western South Dakota, with Jackrabbit fans and alumni from across the region turning out to support the program when it plays at The Monument.
"We're excited to welcome both teams back to The Monument for a rematch," said Craig Baltzer, Executive Director of The Monument. "We've seen tremendous support from West River Jackrabbit fans each time SDSU has played here, and we're looking forward to giving those fans another opportunity to see the Jacks in Rapid City."
South Dakota State and Northern Colorado share a long history dating back to their days as North Central Conference opponents. Both institutions transitioned to the NCAA Division I level in the mid-2000s before renewing the series at Summit Arena in 2024.
Tickets for the November 14 matchup will be available beginning Friday, September 4, at 10 a.m at the Bluepeak Ticket Offices and online at www.themonument.live.
The Monument is the premier entertainment destination for the Black Hills region, serving South Dakota, southwestern North Dakota, northwestern Nebraska, and eastern Wyoming. It hosts many of the region's largest events, including the Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo, Rodeo Rapid City, Lakota Nation Invitational, SDHSAA Tournaments, Black Hills Powwow, and the Rapid City Rush of the ECHL.
