Most fans and observers probably looked at the 3 day Dakota Showcase event in Sioux Falls as a chance to get a sense for the power balance in the Summit League. Through the first two days, it certainly appeared we would get that clarity. SDSU was 2-0 and looked the part. The North Dakota schools…
In their second game of the Dakota Showcase, the Jackrabbits took care of business against the Fighting Hawks of North Dakota winning 74-62.

Woof….that was my reaction after the NDSU Bison men’s team came out of the gate 0-3 and seemed to have no identity on offense, didn’t shoot the ball well and turned the ball over at a very un-NDSU like rate. The freshman players looked like freshmen in the first 3 games, sloppy turnovers, getting lost…
