South Dakota State closes its home schedule on Saturday against Oral Roberts in the second game of a doubleheader at Frost Arena, where the Jackrabbits put their 16-game home winning streak on the line, and honor seniors Cody Larson and Zach Horstman in their final home game.
The Jacks (20-8, 11-3) return home after a close 79-77 win at Western Illinois on Wednesday that marked the team's 20th win of the season. That's the 22nd 20-win season in school history, the 11th for head coach Scott Nagy and the third in the last four seasons.
All five Jackrabbit starters scored in double figures in the win at Western, with Jake Bittle, George Marshall and Reed Tellinghuisen all scoring 14 points, and both Larson and Deondre Parks adding 13. Larson also added a game-high nine rebounds.
SDSU set season-high marks for the season in both 3-pointers and assists against the Leathernecks, finishing with 13 triples and 22 assists.
Oral Roberts (15-12, 8-5 Summit) comes to Brookings after hanging on for an 81-78 win at Omaha on Thursday night.
