A game day thread wasn't started for the Souuthern Miss game...but maybe it was just as well. Jacks rolled fast and far in the first half before Southern Miss came to life. Attendance was 2920 in spite of nasty blizzard-like travvel conditions Northeast SD. Final score was SDSU 101, Southern Miss 76.
The Jacks are coming together and there were a number of noteworthy plays and players. The Jacks started early and with just minutes off the clock, led 17-1. Jacks finished the first half 55-32.. The Jacks shot just over 61 per cent from the field for the entire game, compared to 30.56 per cent by the visitors. SDSU hit 8 of 20 three-point shots while Southern Miss struggled with just 7 of 35 three-point attempts going into the hoop. SDSU made 21 of 29 free-throw attempts for 72.4 per cent. So miss was 17 of 29 for 58.6 per cent.

During the game, I was pretty tempted to say out loud what I was thinking: This team, if it continues on its current trajectory, may be better than last year's team (by a fair margin) . And, while I don't like the transfer portal and in particular was not happy about what we lost due to transfers from last year's team, there's a voice in my head saying "don't knock the transfer portal...look at what the transfer portal has done for SDSU this year."
And the newcomers to the Jackrabbit team! This is an exciting team that is clearly enjoying what they're doing. Jason Jackson led all scorers with 19. Oscar Cluff scored 16 points and had 9 rebounds. Kalen Garry scored 14 points and Stoney Hadnot and Matt Mors scored 12 and 10 respectively.
