VERMILLION, S.D. (Dakota News Now) -Eric Peterson’s men came close at Frost Arena last night, losing 70-67 to the Jackrabbits in a game that was close the entire way. It was a big improvement after getting thumped at home in their first game. And it also points out how balanced the Summit League is this year. For the first time in ages their really isn’t a clear-cut favorite heading into the conference tournament in Sioux Falls.
