Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)

S Dakota St has carved out a respectable season, showcasing an ability to take care of business in their own backyard within the Summit League, especially as they dispatched Denver and St Thomas MN on their path. However, their non-conference resume leaves much to be desired, with losses against all of their more challenging opponents like Kansas State, UCF, and George Mason, which indicates struggles against higher-tier competition. While wins are wins, and they've certainly stacked those in conference play, the lack of a marquee out-of-conference victory or a closely contested battle with a powerhouse program leaves their overall portfolio looking a bit thin. The Jackrabbits will need to rely on their conference tournament performance to punch their ticket to the dance and prove that they can step up when the spotlight is brightest.
