South Dakota State (22-8, 13-2) at North Dakota State (20-8, 11-3) – 9:00 PM EST (ESPN+)
Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day takes us to Fargo, North Dakota for a matchup pivotal to the Summit League regular season title – the Jackrabbits of South Dakota State travel up I-29 to take on the Bison of North Dakota State. SDSU won the first meeting 78-73 at home thanks to Matt Detlinger’s 21 points and a 14-point/11 rebound performance from Alex Arians. The Jackrabbits have also won eight straight games and will be looking for the #1 seed and outright league title with a win tonight.
North Dakota State had been on a seven-game winning streak of their own, but they were upset by in-state foe North Dakota in their last outing. Fortunately for the Bison, they can still salvage a tie for first with a win tonight against SDSU and a win against Omaha in their regular season finale on Saturday afternoon before the Summit League Tournament gets underway in Sioux Falls next week. Vinnie Shahid (18.3 PPG) and Tyson Ward (15.0 PPG/7.2 RPG) lead the way for the Bison.
