SDSU Receives National Attention Before Big Game

The South Dakota State University men’s basketball team is receiving national attention ahead of Thursday’s big game.

Many predict the Jacks have what it takes to go far in the NCAA tournament.

USA Today has put the team on their Cinderella Watch, crediting the team's quick offense and Nate Wolters' star potential.

And the senior guard is also creating buzz on the Washington Post and Fox News. Articles focus on his post-practice routine of taking hundreds of shots in an empty Frost Arena to improve his outside shooting.

And even ESPN highlights Brookings in a blog which picks the Jacks as a Cinderella Story.

Hailey Higgins will have more on this story later on KELOLAND News.
