What to Know

The North Dakota Fighting Hawks won both of their matches against the South Dakota Coyotes last season (85-76 and 85-81) and are aiming for the same result on Thursday. The Fighting Hawks and South Dakota will face off in a Summit battle at 8 p.m. ET at Betty Engelstad Sioux Center. North Dakota is out to stop a six-game streak of losses at home.

North Dakota came up short against the North Dakota State Bison last week, falling 86-76.

Meanwhile, it looks like South Dakota must have gotten on Santa's naughty list since the squad didn't end up with the win they were expected to receive last Wednesday. They took a 68-57 bruising from the UMKC Kangaroos.

Both of these teams will be looking to put their recent losses behind them and walk away with a victory. The teams are out to make things right after dropping matches they were expected to win, so stay tuned to see which team bounces back.
