SCOUTING THE JACKRABBITS
South Dakota State comes into tonight's game after seeing their three-game Summit League win streak snapped with a 92-87 loss at Oakland University on Thursday evening.

All those numbers were overshadowed by a remarkable shooting night by Oakland guard Travis Bader who scored 37 points on 10-of-14 shooting from long range in the loss.
Wolters leads a trio of players averaging double-figure points, as the junior pours in an average of 21 per game, sixth best scoring average in the country. Callahan averages a dozen points per game while Dykstra puts in 10.7. Four others: Chad White (9.9 ppg), Tony Fiegen (7.7 ppg), Taevaunn Prince (7.4), and Brayden Carlson (7.4) average over seven points per game for a squad that averages 80.2 as a team, tied with Duke University as the 11th highest scoring offense in the nation.
