SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — For the first time since 2010 there will not be a men’s basketball team from the state of South Dakota playing in the Summit League Tournament semifinals. A white-hot shooting performance and triple-double from John Konchar led the Purdue-Fort Wayne Mastodons to a 96-70 Summit League Tournament Quarterfinal win over South Dakota on Sunday night in the Premier Center. Stanley Umude led USD with 21 points. Tyler Peterson added 15 points and Triston Simpson scored 12. USD finishes their first season under Todd Lee 13-17. USD’s loss, coupled with SDSU’s 79-76 defeat last night to Western Illinois, means a team from the Rushmore State won’t be in the Monday night semifinals for just the second time in the tournament’s history since coming to Sioux Falls in 2009.
