The South Dakota State Jackrabbits are heading to the Summit League Championship game on Tuesday night against Western Illinois to play for a ticket to the Big Dance.

The Jackrabbits only led Southern Utah by a point at the half, 28-27, but started the second half of the game on a 12-2 run and never looked back from there, ultimately winning by 16 points, 63-47.
