What to Know

The North Dakota State Bison and the South Dakota State Jackrabbits are set to clash at 9:30 p.m. ET March 6 at Denny Sanford PREMIER Center in the third round of the Summit League Conference Tourney.

North Dakota State sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 70-68 win over the South Dakota Coyotes on Sunday. Four players on the Bison scored in the double digits: forward Grant Nelson (23), guard Boden Skunberg (17), guard Tajavis Miller (12), and forward Andrew Morgan (10).

Meanwhile, South Dakota State earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing this past Saturday. They came out on top against the Nebraska Omaha Mavericks by a score of 63-55. Guard Alex Arians (18 points) was the top scorer for South Dakota State.

North Dakota State is expected to lose this next one by 3.5. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.

North Dakota State was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap when the two teams last met earlier in the regular season as they fell 90-85 to the Jackrabbits. Can the Bison avenge their defeat, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
