SOUTH DAKOTA STATE VISITS ORAL ROBERTS IN KEY SUMMIT LEAGUE CLASH TULSA, Okla. (Interstat) — The surging South Dakota State Jackrabbits will look to continue their dominant run through the Summit League when they visit the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles on Thursday night at Mabee Center. South Dakota State (20-6, 9-1 Summit) enters on a five-game winning streak, including a commanding 103-76 victory over Oral Roberts in Brookings on Jan. 10. The Jackrabbits have been overwhelming in their recent wins, defeating Missouri-Kansas City 93-40 and North Dakota 94-48 last week. Their offense has averaged 89.2 points during the streak. A key catalyst is guard Emilee Fox, who is coming off a 26-point, six-rebound performance against Kansas City. Over her last seven games, Fox is averaging 10.3 points and 3.0 assists, providing a consistent scoring threat alongside posts Brooklyn Meyer and Madison Mathiowetz. Oral Roberts (13-12, 5-5) aims to protect its home court and improve its standing in the conference. The Golden Eagles snapped a three-game skid with a 76-55 home win over Denver on Saturday. Forward Kayten Donley led the way with 23 points and seven rebounds, showcasing her ability to anchor the frontcourt. Donley averages 13.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game this season. The Golden Eagles will need a more resilient defensive effort than in the January meeting, where they allowed the Jackrabbits to shoot 56% from the field. Oral Roberts is 8-3 at home this season, offering a potential advantage. South Dakota State currently sits atop the Summit League standings, while Oral Roberts is tied for fourth. The Jackrabbits’ potent, balanced offense, which features four players averaging double figures, will test an Oral Roberts defense allowing 68.2 points per game in conference play. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. CST. Following this matchup, South Dakota State travels to Denver on Saturday, while Oral Roberts visits Missouri-Kansas City.
