Eric Henderson just won a 20th game for the fifth time in his six seasons at SDSU, and still has a shot at a fifth regular season Summit League title, as well. With a Jackrabbit squad that will have a decent shot at winning his third Summit League Tournament title next week — and therefore potentially garner interest of schools that could offer him a lot more money than SDSU — perhaps today should be Eric Henderson Appreciation Day.
John Gaskins dives into the coaching job “Hendo” has done this year with a fresh five starting lineup, and how SDSD won a tough road game without injured starting point guard Owen Larson last night in Tulsa.

The first domino just fell in the Sam Darnold and Minnesota Vikings’ melodrama — The Los Angeles Rams restructured their deal with Matthew Stafford to bring the veteran former Super Bowl winner Matthew Stafford back. What does this mean for the Minnesota Vikings as they decide on franchise tagging, or even tagging and trading Sam Darnold? Matthew Coller of PurpleInsider.com has reported on the Vikings for a decade and was in Indianapolis for the early week of the NFL Combine to gather insight and interviews, and joins John Gaskins to discuss the future of the quarterback and other spots of need for the Vikings during the offseason. What did Kevin O’Connell’s latest remarks about Stafford and J.J. McCarthy reveal about where Minnesota is leaning for its quarterback in 2025 and beyond? What about Daniel Jones? And how will defensive coordinator Brian Flores navigate free agency for proven defensive backs like Cam Bynum and Byron Murphy, Jr.? Oh, and how much sense does Mel Kiper’s mock draft placement of Pierre native and NDSU product Gray Zabel with the Vikings and the No. 24 overall pick make?

Before the Summit League men’s and women’s basketball tournaments tip off in Sioux Falls next Thursday, the NSIC (“best conference in the country in Div. II”) displays its tourney at the Pentagon starting on Saturday, with the Augustana men and University of Sioux Falls women playing a part.
David Brown, who has been calling NSIC and Summit League games for 13 years for Midco Sports Network, offers a preview of the high-level hoops to come, which players we may be seeing at the next level next year (as transfers to Div. I), and just how deep and competitive the league is.
