South Dakota State and South Dakota square off Thursday with a regular season Summit League title on the line.

The first-place Jackrabbits welcome the second-place Coyotes to Frost Arena for a 7 p.m. tip, with the winner earning the top seed in next month’s Summit League Championships.

The game can be heard on 570 WNAX.

Both teams carry six-game winning streaks into the matchup, with the Jackrabbits (23-6, 11-1 Summit League) coming off an 82-62 stomping of Western Illinois Saturday. State is one-half game ahead of USD in The Summit League standings and has two games remaining before the year-end tournament.

South Dakota (24-6, 11-2 Summit League) defeated Omaha, 79-64, its last time out and wraps up its regular season Thursday against the Jacks.
