LINCOLN, Neb.—Nebraska's Keisei Tominaga and Bryce McGowens both dropped 20-point games to lead the Huskers to an 83-70 victory over South Dakota on Saturday afternoon inside Pinnacle Bank Arena.
 
The Huskers (5-2) capture the Nebraska MTE title, winning all three games on their home floor. South Dakota (4-2) finished 2-1 in the multi-team event with wins over Southern and Tennessee State.
 
The Coyotes were led by Kruz Perrott-Hunt's 19 points, 14 of which came in the first half. Perrott-Hunt knocked down three first-half triples en route to giving USD a six-point advantage midway through the frame. Mason Archambault and Nikola Zizic joined him in double-digits with 12 and 10 points, respectively. Zizic came off the bench in the second half, scoring a career-best 10 points in an efficient 11 minutes. He was 4-of-4 from the field.
 
It was a balanced offensive effort for the Coyotes with eight of the 10 players scoring and five tallying eight or more points.
 
Tominaga checked in off the bench with the Huskers down five with 10 minutes to play in the first half. He drilled a pair of triples shortly after checking in, providing a spark for the Husker offense. Tominaga's third triple of the game gave the Huskers their first lead in eight minutes of game time. Nebraska ended the first half on a 10-2 run to pull away from the Coyotes.
 
Tominaga, who competed in the 3v3 basketball tournament for Japan at the Tokyo Olympics this summer, finished with a game-high 23 points on 8-of-11 shooting. McGowens, Nebraska's first five-star recruit in program history, added 22 points and Derrick Walker pitched in 13 points to lead the Huskers.
 
South Dakota was aggressive on the boards and outrebounded Nebraska 40-35 with 13 offensive boards. The Coyotes outscored the Huskers 20-5 on second-chance points. However, the Huskers took advantage of 18 Coyote turnovers and capitalized with 24 points-off turnovers.
 
The Coyotes shot 42.4 percent (25-of-59) from the floor and knocked down 12-of-25 (.480) from behind the arc.
 
South Dakota travels to San Jose State next Tuesday for a 9 p.m. CST tip-off against former Nebraska head coach Tim Miles. Miles is in his first season with the Spartans.
