The Summit League basketball regular season ends this weekend and the men's race is as wide open as it gets.

 

South Dakota State can win the championship tonight in Grand Forks with a victory over North Dakota. UND can keep the race going with a win over the Jackrabbits and beat South Dakota in the season finale.

 

Meanwhile, North Dakota State sits in a tie for third place starting the final week with a road game at USD and then the final game of the season against SDSU. The Bison have won six of their last eight games with junior forward Andrew Morgan leading the way, averaging 18 points per game.

 

NDSU will need to win in Vermillion to stay ahead of red hot Kansas City, the Roos have won four straight games and have surged up the standings over the last three weeks.

 

The Bison women are the hottest team in the league not named South Dakota State. NDSU has won seven games in a row, and has clinched the second seed at the league tournament next week. Jory Collins team has matched last season's win total at 18 and has two games to pass it, including the season finale at Frost Arena against the Jacks.

 

WDAY's Dom Izzo and Forum columnist Mike McFeely discuss the race to the finish line in the Summit League and also visit on Tyler Roehl's new job as the former Bison player and coach will be the new assistant head coach and running backs coach at Iowa State.
