A rather clunky week has ensued in Summit League basketball and it is now time to rank the conference. Yet again, we have a new team at the top.

Here we are for another look inside the Summit League. Last week, we saw the South Dakota Coyotes unseat South Dakota State in the No. 1 spot.

As for the Jackrabbits, they did what they had to do this past week, winning both of their games.
