Projected seed: 13 (automatic qualifier)

South Dakota State's resume features notable wins, like a solid performance against McNeese State, but it seems marred by a mixed bag of losses against teams such as Boise State and Northern Colorado. The Jacks have displayed offensive potential, particularly in high-scoring games against weaker opponents like Denver and Oral Roberts. However, their defense has struggled, especially in matchups against tougher competition, as seen in the loss to Alabama. They have key opportunities ahead, facing teams with varying strengths, which could help bolster their standing, but consistency will be crucial for them to secure a reliable spot in the tournament. A strong finish in conference play could lead to an automatic qualifier, but fluctuations in performance could hinder their chances.
