Who won Dakota Wesleyan Tigers vs South Dakota State Jackrabbits?

South Dakota State Jackrabbits beat Dakota Wesleyan Tigers 94-62 at First Bank & Trust Arena on December 12, 2025.

In a decisive matchup, the South Dakota State Jackrabbits triumphed over the Dakota Wesleyan Tigers with a final score of 94-62 at the First Bank & Trust Arena. This victory marks an impressive performance for the Jackrabbits, who showcased their offensive capabilities and solidified their standing in the NCAAB league. The game was particularly noteworthy as it further extended South Dakota State's dominance over Dakota Wesleyan, having previously defeated them 78-62 earlier in the season on December 3, 2024.

The Jackrabbits entered the game with a home record of 7-5, and their recent form showed a balanced performance with a record of 5-5 in their last ten games. They had a scoring average of 72.2 points while allowing 66.3 points per game. Their last five games saw them score an average of 65.6 points but allowed 69.8 points, indicating a slight dip in defensive performance. However, they managed to secure a win against the Ball State Cardinals just days prior to this match, which likely contributed to their confidence heading into this game.

In contrast, the Dakota Wesleyan Tigers were struggling, coming into the game with a record of 0-2 in their last two outings, and had not won any of their two away games this season. Their scoring average was 65.5 points, while they allowed a staggering 85.0 points per game in those recent losses. This poor form was evident as they faced the Jackrabbits, who capitalized on their defensive lapses and inability to score effectively.

The Jackrabbits' home performance was notably stronger than their away games, holding a home record of 3-2 in their last five games compared to a 2-3 record away. Dakota Wesleyan, on the other hand, struggled significantly on the road, failing to secure a win in their two away games this season.

In terms of injuries, the block did not provide specific details about player availability for either team, but the impact of injuries can often play a critical role in the outcome of games at this level. The absence of key players can hinder a team's performance, as seen in various matchups throughout the season.

The betting market had priced the Jackrabbits as heavy favorites, reflecting their strong home performance and recent form. The odds indicated a high probability of a South Dakota State victory, which ultimately proved accurate as they delivered a commanding performance.

Conditions during the game were favorable for basketball, with no adverse weather conditions reported, allowing both teams to focus purely on their game strategy. Fans in attendance witnessed a high-scoring affair, particularly in the second half, where the Jackrabbits pulled away decisively. Notable scoring plays included a three-point jumper by CJ Banks and a dunk from Bubz Alvarez, both of which contributed to the Jackrabbits' substantial lead.

As the game progressed, the Jackrabbits demonstrated their offensive depth and ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities, with multiple players contributing to the scoreline. Their ability to maintain pressure on the Tigers, especially in the second half, was a key factor in their victory. The final score of 94-62 reflects not just a win, but a statement of intent from the Jackrabbits as they look to build momentum moving forward in the season.
