Box Score BROOKINGS, S.D.—Division I South Dakota State shot 52 percent from the field and limited  Chadron State to just 25 percent Monday night while posting an 87-42 victory in a men's basketball game.
 
The Jackrabbits, now 2-2, led 36-12 at halftime and outscored the Eagles 51-30 in the second half. Thirteen players scored for SDSU, led by junior guard Jake Bittle with 12 points. Senior center Cody Larson and freshmen Skyler Flatten and Reed Tellinghuisen contributed 11 points apiece.
 
Seven players scored for the Eagles, now 1-2, with senior Kendrick Holliman scoring 12. He also grabbed a game-high seven rebounds.  Transfer Roderick Butler added nine points for CSC.
 
Chadron State coach Brent Bargen said following the game that playing a Division I team can be a humbling experience. 
 
"They did a good job of guarding us," Bargen said. "We didn't shoot the ball well and had too many turnovers (19).  We have a lot of things to work on, but we have the talent and the depth to get better."
 
The Eagles will play at South Dakota Mines in Rapid City on Friday night.  The women's teams will open the double-header at 5 o'clock.
