How To Watch
What to Know
The South Dakota Coyotes and the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles are set to clash at 8:00 p.m. ET on Friday at Denny Sanford PREMIER Center in a Summit League postseason contest. South Dakota is no doubt hoping to put an end to an eight-game streak of away losses.
South Dakota managed to keep up with North Dakota until halftime on Saturday, but things quickly went downhill from there. The Coyotes took a serious blow against the Fighting Hawks, falling 95-66. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for South Dakota in their matchups with North Dakota: they’ve now lost three in a row.
Meanwhile, Oral Roberts’ recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Sunday after their seventh straight loss. They lost to the Roos at home by a decisive 71-54 margin. The result shouldn’t come as a shock considering that’s the fewest points Oral Roberts has scored all season.
The Coyotes have been struggling recently as they’ve lost 13 of their last 17 contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 12-19 record this season. As for the Golden Eagles, their defeat dropped their record down to 11-18.
Friday’s game is shaping up to be a scrappy matchup: South Dakota have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 37.7 rebounds per game. It’s a different story for Oral Roberts, though, as they’ve been averaging only 33 rebounds per game. Given South Dakota’s sizable advantage in that area, Oral Roberts will need to find a way to close that gap.
South Dakota won a game that couldn’t have been any closer in their previous meeting two weeks ago, slipping by Oral Roberts 77-76. The rematch might be a little tougher for South Dakota since the team won’t have the home-court advantage this time around. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.

Republican businessman Toby Doeden advances to primary runoff in South Dakota governor’s race
Republican businessman Toby Doeden has advanced to a runoff in South Dakota governor’s race, NBC News projects.
Gov. Larry Rhoden, who replaced Kristi Noem last year when President Donald Trump nominated her to lead the Department of Homeland Security, was battling with Rep. Dusty Johnson and former state House Speaker Jon Hansen for a second spot in the July 28 runoff. The primary will go to a runoff because no candidate eclipsed 35% of the vote.
Trump did not issue an endorsement in the race. Doeden branded himself on his campaign website as “a total political outsider who’s tired of the government’s failure to deliver on its promises” and one of Trump’s “fiercest supporters.”
Rhoden, a former lieutenant governor, agriculture secretary and lawmaker, campaigned on property tax cuts and lowering crime in his bid for a four-year term.
Johnson is the state’s lone representative in the House, where he previously was chair of the Republican Main Street Caucus. Hansen, who was elected to the South Dakota House in 2010, held several leadership positions before he became speaker.
The Republican nominee will be the favorite to win the general election in the solidly red state this fall. A Democrat has not served as governor in South Dakota since the 1970s, and Trump carried the state by 29 points in 2024.

Agronomist: eastern South Dakota crops hit and miss
An agronomist in eastern South Dakota says corn and soybeans are hit and miss as the growing season begins.
Steven Zemlicka with AgTegra Cooperative tells Brownfield, “We’ve got corn anywhere from V1 all the way up to V4. Biggest stuff’s maybe touching V5. Corn’s coming right along, looks pretty good. A little bit of hail here too, but I don’t think it’s going to be much of an issue. Stands for the most part are pretty good, pretty solid.”
Zemlicka says soybean emergence has been slow due to the wet, cool conditions, and there are a few fields that still need planted.
“People were still working on planting soybeans when we got the recent rain.”
He says recent rain totals ranged from a half inch to as much as four inches in the northeast part of South Dakota; the southern part of the state has been drier.
South Dakota’s corn is rated 61 percent good to excellent, with soybean conditions rated 57 percent good to excellent, according to USDA’s first condition ratings of the season.
