2/11/2010 12:00:00 PM | Men's Basketball
South Dakota State plays just one game this week, as the
Jackrabbits close out a season-long three game homestand against the rival
Bison from North
Dakota State.
The Bison won the first meeting of the season on Jan. 15, in Fargo to boost their streak to seven straight over the Jackrabbits, which means that the Jacks need a win this week to keep the three SDSU seniors from going 0-8 against NDSU in their careers.
One of those seniors, Garrett Callahan, led the Jacks with 15 points in the first meeting of the season, Anthony Cordova added 14 points in the 79-67 loss. Eric Carlson led four Bison in double figures with 23 points, Sam Sussenguth scored 16 points in the win, while Michael Tveidt and Josh Vaughan both finished with 14 points.
The Jacks won convincingly in both of their games last week, beating Southern Utah 84-60 on Thursday and UMKC 78-57 on Saturday. Garrett Callahan led the Jacks with 17 points against the Thunderbirds, moving into the top-10 in all-time scoring at SDSU in the process. He added 12 points against UMKC and enters the week ranked ninth on the all-time scoring charts with 1,381 points, nine shy of moving into eighth all-time. In addition to his scoring prowess, Callahan enters the week with 241 career assists, good for 10th all-time at SDSU.
Clint Sargent led four Jackrabbits in double figures with 18 points against UMKC, which gives him 949 points for his career, 51 shy of becoming the 41st member of the SDSU 1,000-Point Club.
Clint Sargent enters this week's game leading the Jackrabbit offense with 12.4 points per game, he also comes in leading the team with a 46.7 percent three-point field goal percentage and an 86.3 free throw percentage. Callahan comes into the week averaging an even 12 points per game, Kai Williams adds 10.3 points and a team-high 6.0 rebounds per game, while Nate Wolters enters the week with a 9.8 points per game average to go along with his team-high 71 assists and 23 steals.

SARGENT CLOSES IN ON 1,000 POINTS - Junior Clint Sargent continues to close in on the 1,000-point milestone. His team-high 297 points so far this season gives him 949 career-points, 51 points shy of joining the club.

THIS WEEK'S OPPONENT
North Dakota State Bison (9-14, 6-7 Summit, 4-7 Away) - NDSU comes to Frost Arena this weekend after splitting each of the last two Summit League weekends.

67-65 Jackrabbit win on Feb. 18, 2006 at Frost Arena.
NEXT UP FOR THE JACKRABBITS - The Jackrabbits hit the road for the final time this season with games at Oakland on Thursday, and at IPFW Saturday.
