Balanced Offensive Attack Leads Yellow Jackets Past Eagles

SPEARFISH, S.D. – The Black Hills State University men’s basketball team bounced back on Saturday afternoon as they notched their fourth consecutive RMAC home opening win with an 89-69 victory over Chadron State.

It was a balanced offensive attack that paved the way for the Yellow Jackets in A2 Arena, as five players scored in double figures while the team shot 35-of-70 (50.0%) from the field and tallied a season-high of 23 assists, the most in a game for BHSU since a February 23, 2023, match-up at Chadron State.
