The CU Mortgage Dakota Showcase was a college basketball event held in Sioux Falls, South Dakota at the Sanford Pentagon. It was a non-conference showcase that featured four Summit League men's basketball teams: North Dakota, North Dakota State, South Dakota State, and South Dakota. [1] It was formed during the 2020–21 season as a way to add games to each team's schedule which were all majorly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. No fans were allowed at the event and all of the teams followed COVID-19 protocols. [2]
