The South Dakota Coyotes women's basketball team is set to reignite a classic regional rivalry, returning to the Sanford Pentagon for a highly anticipated matchup against the Creighton Bluejays on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. This marks the Coyotes' first regular-season game at the iconic venue since November 16, 2024, when they faced Nebraska. South Dakota holds a solid 6-5 record on Heritage Court, and they'll be looking to improve that tally in front of a passionate home-state crowd.

Game time, ticket details, and broadcast information will be announced at a later date, but anticipation is already building. Head coach Carrie Eighmey expressed her excitement, stating, "We are incredibly thankful for our continued partnership with Sanford and the opportunity to once again compete at the Pentagon. There is no better stage for our matchup with Creighton. The Pentagon is by far one of the best basketball venues in the country. Sioux Falls is home to many of our alumni and fans, and we expect the Coyote faithful to show up and make it a true home-court advantage for us."

The rivalry between these two programs runs deep, with 28 all-time meetings and the series deadlocked at 14 wins apiece. Creighton currently rides a two-game winning streak, but the Coyotes have historically dominated, having won six straight before that. Notably, this will be the first time these teams meet on a neutral floor, adding an extra layer of intrigue to an already storied competition.

For fans of women's college basketball, this game is a must-watch—a clash of talent, history, and regional pride set against the backdrop of one of the sport's most unique arenas. Whether you're a Coyote faithful or a Bluejay supporter, mark your calendars for November 11, 2026, and get ready for a thrilling showdown in Sioux Falls.
