Wolters’ world

Drue Aman Sports Editor It looked like a game both teams simultaneously wanted to win and to not lose. And maybe if not for Nate Wolters, IPFW plays Oakland tomorrow night. But the Jacks hanged on, evading a steady climb back from IPFW, with Wolters sealing it late in the game, exactly when SDSU desperately [...]

Jackrabbits falter in blowout loss to NDSU in Fargo

Drue AmanSports Editor The most fitting number was on Clint Sargent’s jersey. Ten. And from the tip-off, 10 looked like the number NDSU hoped and alley-ooped for and SDSU limped to prevent. The Bison (14-14, 8-10) smothered every quality of the Jacks (18-11, 10-8) for a 10th straight victory over their conference rival in a [...]

ORU sweeps Jacks

Drue AmanSports Editor Maybe not. In addition to falling back to .500 in Summit League play, SDSU remains winless in the Mabee Center, the place Oral Roberts call home. The Jacks (6-6, 14-9) dissolved a fourpoint halftime lead and a one-point advantage in the final two minutes to surrender yet another road loss at Oral [...]

Jacks handle winless Centenary in Shrevport

Drue AmanSports Editor Sometimes winning is easy. The Jacks (15-9, 7-6) jumped out to a 28-point first half lead and coasted to a 102-73 win against still winless Centenary (0-25, 0-13) Feb. 5. Those 102 points included six players scoring in double-figures, draining an almost standard 12 three-pointers while every player on the roster played [...]

Jacks? worst shooting night dooms them in UMKC loss

Drue AmanSports Editor Matchups at Frost Arena this season have routinely shown the venue as a premiere harbinger for offense. Not tonight. And not in SDSU’s favor, either. The Jackrabbits (13-8, 5-5) found few semblances of the offensive firepower expected of their 14th nationally ranked scoring offense and allowed a 10-point lead to slowly erode [...]

Jacks Clobber Thunderbirds

Drue AmanSports Editor Who needs defense? Neither SDSU or Southern Utah, apparently. Nate Wolters, Clint Sargent, and Jordan Dykstra did something no other Jacks triumvirate has done in seven seasons in a 96-79 win in the annual Pork Classic. That win doesn’t come with a defensive exclamation point, but the Jacks forced 20 turnovers and [...]

Jacks fall to conference elite

Drue AmanSports Editor Looks like the path through the Summit League begins and ends with black-and-gold. Oakland (13-8, 8-0) could not be contained on the offensive end while SDSU (12-7, 4-4) simply had no answer in a 97-88 loss at Frost Arena Jan. 20. This Golden Grizzlies win had record-setting significance. Just one season after [...]

Jackrabbits 35-point win largest of season

Drue AmanSports Editor Senior leadership. From the tantalizing leaping ability of Dale Moss to the adroit shooting touch of Clint Sargent, to the stable defense of bench player Peyton Tivis, that’s what Jan. 22′s game against IPFW seemed to be about. Senior leadership. That, and bare feet. Oh, and a clubbing of the Mastodons. SDSU [...]

Jacks split matchups against IUPUI Jaguars

Drue AmanSports Editor Inconsistency. Maybe that describes SDSU’s defensive performances best. Two days after holding Western Illinois to 50 points on the road, the Jacks allowed 56 points in one half against the IUPUI Jaguars in a 81-76 loss in Indianapolis, Ind. Jan. 15. Those 56 points were the end result of 77 percent shooting [...]
