Dribbles & Scribbles
-- 6-10 sophomore center Damon Wilkinson was a load for South Dakota State last night in in the Jackrabbits win over defending Summit champ Omaha. Wilkinson had game highs of 24 points and 19 rebounds, along with three blocked shots. Wilkinson is South Dakota State’s most important player. There aren't many (good) true post players in the Summit League and Wilkinson is one, so the Jacks would be wise to play through him more often.
-- Home teams are 4-0 in the Summit League, with all games decided by double digits.
-- Wright State's win over Milwaukee means every team in the Horizon League now has a loss. Detroit, Milwaukee, Oakland, and Wright State share the league lead at 3-1.
-- Lindenwood, like St. Thomas eligible for the NCAA Tournament for the first time this season, leads the Ohio Valley with a 3-0 record.
-- 2025 CBI champion Illinois State and Murry State share the Missouri Valley lead at 4-0, with Northern Iowa a half game back at 3-0.
-- The Power 5 conferences are back at it today with games in the ACC, Big Ten, and Big XII, highlighted by a doozie in Lincoln, NE, Michigan State (12-1) @ Nebraska (13-0).

I like Sparty over the Huskers in a nail-biter. Trey Fort, Kur Teng, and Jordan Scott hit some threes off the bench, as MSU's depth is the difference.
