South Dakota State steamrolls Nebraska-Omaha 78-63
• BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) -- Jordan Dykstra scored 17 points and South Dakota State kept up its home dominance Saturday, beating Nebraska-Omaha 78-63 in its Summit League opener.
• Dykstra was 7 of 11 from the floor, including three 3-pointers. Tony Fiegen added 16 points and nine rebounds, and Nate Wolters and Brayden Carlson had 13 points apiece for the Jackrabbits (6-2), who led by as many as 31 en route to winning their 21st consecutive home game.
• John Karhoff had 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting for the Mavericks (2-7, 0-2), Summit League newcomers this season. Justin Simmons and CJ Carter added 10 apiece. Nebraska-Omaha committed 22 turnovers.
• Chad White, whose 3-pointer in SDSU's last game kept the Jackrabbits' home winning streak alive, was held to four points Saturday, but his heroics weren't necessary this time. SDSU didn't trail after the game's early minutes, led 56-28 at halftime and coasted from there.

• FARGO, N.D. (AP) -- Brock Jensen accounted for three touchdowns and North Dakota State clamped down on the leading rusher in the division to defeat South Dakota State 28-3 on Saturday in the second round of the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.
• The defending FCS champions spotted the Jackrabbits a field goal late in the first quarter and then dominated the final three frames. The Bison held Zach Zenner to 46 yards rushing on 15 carries, more than 120 yards below his FCS-leading average.
• The win came three weeks after NDSU held off the Jacks 20-17 in a regular-season matchup.
• "Our guys are vets in the playoffs. There's just a different look in their eye," NDSU head coach Craig Bohl said. "Once we get to postseason play they're kicking it into a different gear."
• The Bison advance to next week's quarterfinal game at home against Wofford.
• "North Dakota State is a great football team," said SDSU linebacker Ross Shafrath, who finished with a game-high 18 tackles. "They've got a great offense and a great defense. I expect that they'll go pretty far in this tournament."
