South Dakota women’s basketball is scheduled to face Ohio State and Northern Illinois at the 2019 South Point Shootout over Thanksgiving weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada.
South Dakota (28-6, 14-2 Summit League) returns 11 players from last year’s NCAA Tournament team. The Coyotes bring back nearly 84 percent of their scoring from a season ago, including two-time Academic All-American Ciara Duffy and Summit League Sixth Woman of the Year Hannah Sjerven. The Coyotes also return three other starters.
Ohio State (14-15, 10-8 Big Ten) won the Big Ten regular season in back-to-back years in 2017 and 2018.
Northern Illinois (19-13, 10-8 MAC) advanced to the quarterfinals of the MAC Tournament last year.
