1. South Dakota State (105 points). SDSU enjoyed their last regular season road trip last weekend, defeating Western Illinois 84-54, and St. Thomas 83-42. Last Week: 1
2. South Dakota (104 points). USD defeated St. Thomas 73-46 and had their game against Western Illinois postponed. Initial murmurs out of Macomb do not look promising for a makeup date. We shall wait and see if the Summit League chooses to make that game up as it has major seeding implications. . Last Week 2
3. Kansas City (88 points). Kansas City won three games last week and continue to look like a threat to the SD schools in the Summit League (we will find out this weekend if this is true). The Roos defeated St. Thomas 69-63, UND 71-61, and NDSU 76-67. Last Week: 3
