MADISON, S.D. (Dec. 11, 2018)—The Dakota State University (S.D.) Trojan men's basketball team (2-9 overall record) looks to halt their five-game losing skid with a pair of games this week.
The Trojans head to Cimpl Arena (1105 West 8th Street) in Yankton, S.D. Wednesday evening to take on in-state rival Mount Marty (S.D.) (4-9 overall record) in a non-conference contest. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. DSU returns home Saturday afternoon for a match-up versus No. 2-ranked Morningside (Iowa). The game is set for 4 p.m. at DSU Fieldhouse.
Dakota State dropped their North Star conference opener at home versus Bellevue (Neb.) 66-45 on Dec. 6. The Trojans could not get back in the winning column after falling to No. 8-ranked Briar Cliff (Iowa) 95-60 on Dec. 8. Mount Marty is coming off from a 70-69 Great Plains Athletic Conference thriller at Concordia (Neb.) on Dec. 8, followed by a 79-69 exhibition game defeat to NCAA Division II Nebraska-Kearney on Dec. 9. Morningside remained undefeated in conference play after a pair of victories last week (Midland, Neb. 90-68 on Dec. 5 and Jamestown, N.D. 87-79 on Dec. 8).
Mount Marty and Morningside both won the first meeting with Dakota State earlier this season.
