DWU Basketball

The Tiger men’s basketball team (5-7) are at home tomorrow night hosting the No. 16 Northwestern Red Raiders (12-3) in the World’s Only Corn Palace. They are the only ones in action, and the game will tipoff at 7pm.

SDSU Basketball

The Jackrabbit men’s basketball team took on Wyoming last night at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, SD. A strong start to the game by the Cowboys with a 40-29 lead at half ended up being too hot of a start for the Jackrabbits to rally back from. They ended up losing, 87-72. Kalen Garry led SDSU with 15 points.

Monday Night Football went down last night between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Miami Dolphins. It was a much-needed win for the Steelers and they got it, winning by a score of 28-15. Aaron Rodgers went 23-for-27 passing, threw for 224 yards and had two touchdown passes.

NBA

The NBA Cup Championship game is tonight between the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks. The game will be played in Las Vegas, NV at T-Mobile Arena with tipoff set for 7:30pm on Prime Video.
