What to Know

The South Dakota State Jackrabbits are on the road again Saturday and play against the Washington State Cougars at 3 p.m. ET Dec. 11 at Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena. Coming off of a loss in a game they were expected to win, the Jackrabbits nows face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.

The game between South Dakota State and the Idaho Vandals on Wednesday was not particularly close, with South Dakota State falling 98-84. If the result catches you off guard, it should: South Dakota State was far and away the favorite.

Meanwhile, Washington State took their matchup at home on Wednesday with ease, bagging a 94-60 win over the Weber State Wildcats. Washington State got double-digit scores from five players: guard Noah Williams (17), forward DJ Rodman (14), forward Mouhamed Gueye (14), guard TJ Bamba (14), and guard Michael Flowers (13). Gueye had some trouble finding his footing against the Southern California Trojans on Saturday, so this was a step in the right direction. Mouhamed Gueye's points were the most he has had all year.

The Jackrabbits are now 8-3 while the Cougars sit at 7-2. Washington State is 4-2 after wins this season, and South Dakota State is 2-0 after losses.
