Regular Season Records: Nebraska Omaha 5-24; South Dakota State 27-4

What to Know

The South Dakota State Jackrabbits will be returning home after a two-game road trip. They and the Nebraska Omaha Mavericks are set to clash at 7 p.m. ET March 5 at Sanford Pentagon in the first round of the Summit League Conference Tourney. South Dakota State is out to keep their 14-game home win streak alive.

The UMKC Kangaroos typically have all the answers at home, but on Saturday the Jackrabbits proved too difficult a challenge. South Dakota State captured a comfortable 86-75 win.

Meanwhile, Nebraska Omaha found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 95-74 punch to the gut against the St. Thomas (MN) Tommies on Saturday.

South Dakota State is the favorite in this one, with an expected 22.5-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a two-game streak of ATS wins.

A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: South Dakota State enters the matchup with 87.2 points per game on average, good for second best in college basketball. Less enviably, the Mavericks are stumbling into the game with the 358th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 83.4 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against Nebraska Omaha.
