BROOKINGS, S.D. (KELO) — The SDSU men cruised past USD 90-71 in Brookings. The Jackrabbits led wire-to-wire after scoring the first eight points of the contest. South Dakota State opened a double digit lead five minutes in and led by at least 10 the rest of the way.
Five Jackrabbits scored in double figures, and the knocked down 12 3-pointers. The Coyotes were held to just four triples but also had five players reach the 10-point plateau.
'It was a special day,' SDSU sophomore guard Kalen Garry said. 'We had a great crowd. The atmosphere was amazing. I thought we played very well as a team, very unselfish, and got the job done.'
'When you take some bad shots, it's hard, really hard to get in your press, right,' USD head coach Eric Peterson said. 'And the pressing thing is what we do, and we couldn't get into it. Disappointing start. I thought we played with them the rest of the game but you can't show up like that on the road and expect good things to happen to start a game.'
Garry poured in a game-high 19 points. Isaac Bruns, Chase Forte and Mayuom Buom tied for the Coyote lead with 11.

Iowa football 2025 season positional preview: Quarterbacks

Since 2020, Iowa football fans have been waiting for an answer at the quarterback position. Following the graduation of Nate Stanley, the Hawkeyes have gone through numerous quarterback options including Spencer Petras, Alex Padilla, Cade McNamara and Deacon Hill with little success. It's been frustrating for fans to watch a great defense and special teams get let down consistently by subpar quarterback play. But, for the first time in half a decade, that position might have an answer. This is the first part of my Iowa football positional previews for the 2025 season. Starting with quarterback, I'll go position by position down the Iowa roster and update you on the key players for the Hawks in 2025. So, grab your popcorn and a comfortable seat and let's get started. Starter: Mark Gronowski 2024 stats: 2,721 passing yards, 23 TDs, 7 INTs, 61% completion at South Dakota State The arrival of Mark Gronowski on campus has many Hawkeye fans excited about the quarterback position in 2025. Gronowski was a four-year starter for the Jackrabbits, leading them to a pair of FCS national championships in 2022 and 2023. Gronowski won the 2023 Walter Payton Award, given to the most outstanding FCS player. He was a first-team FCS All-American in 2023 as well. In total, he went 49-6 as a starter with 10,308 passing yards and 93 touchdowns while completing 63.5% of his passes. Gronowski had offseason shoulder surgery that limited his work in spring ball, but all signs point toward him being good to go for upcoming practices and the regular season. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound signal caller has ideal size for the position and is very mobile, as illustrated by his 1,767 career rushing yards and 37 rushing touchdowns with the Jackrabbits. If he plays up to his ability in 2025, Iowa could make some national noise. Projected Backup: Hank Brown 2024 stats: 27-43 for 403 passing yards, 6 TDs, 3 INTs across four games at Auburn Iowa has a few options for the primary backup to Gronowksi, but I decided to go with the 6-foot-4, 208-pound Auburn transfer Hank Brown. A three-star prospect out of Lipscomb Academy in Nashville, Tennessee, Brown saw some action with the Tigers in 2024 after a redshirt season in 2023. While he wasn't great, Brown is still just a redshirt sophomore and has big-time experience from within the SEC. That experience plus his potential upside is enough for me to slot him into the projected backup role this season. And with Gronowski playing his final year in college, Brown will be a contender for the starting role in 2026. If Brown isn't the primary backup, it will be one of these other quarterback options. Other QB Options If Iowa can get legit production from its quarterbacks in 2025, it's going to be a fun season in Iowa City. We'll just have to wait and see what they get.

Former Badgers running back dies at 20

The Wisconsin Badgers community faced some tragic news last week, as former running back Nate White passed away late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning. 'According to the Brookings Police Department, first responders were called to a home in the 1000 block of Seventh Avenue South shortly before 7 a.m. Wednesday, June 25, when a roommate reported that White was not breathing and was unresponsive in his bed,' InForum's Matt Zimmer reported. Advertisement 'Efforts by Brookings Ambulance and police units to resuscitate White were unsuccessful, and he was pronounced dead by the Brookings County coroner, who ordered that his body be moved to Sanford Hospital in Sioux Falls for an autopsy to be conducted. 'A cause of death has not yet been released, and police say an investigation remains ongoing.' White, 20, had transferred to South Dakota State earlier this offseason after spending two seasons with the Badgers. A Milwaukee native, White had committed to Wisconsin as a three-star recruit in the Class of 2023. He started his career at running back before moving to wide receiver last season. Moving back to running back at South Dakota State, White was reportedly the favorite to be the Jackrabbits' starting tailback in 2025. Advertisement South Dakota State released a statement in the aftermath, mourning the loss of White. 'Jackrabbit football is a brotherhood and today we are all hurting with the shocking news of the loss of Nate White,' head coach Dan Jackson shared in a statement. 'Nate impacted our program with his hard work, determination and overall positive spirit. We grieve with his family and will honor his memory throughout the upcoming season.' According to InForum, the Jackrabbit Former Players Association raised roughly $17,000 to go toward the White family's expenses. Additionally, on July 1, Pints and Quarts will hold its own fundraiser, donating a portion of all sales to the family. More from
