Projected seed: 13 (automatic qualifier)
South Dakota State's overall body of work presents a mixed bag, painting a picture of a team that has shown potential but often struggled against tougher competition. Victories over teams like McNeese State and Duquesne indicate they can hold their own against moderately ranked opponents. However, losses to Boise State and Alabama highlight the gaps in their performance when facing elite teams. Their inconsistent defensive ranking, along with up-and-down offensive showings against teams like Boise and Montana, suggests they need to find more stability to improve their tournament standing. Upcoming opportunities against higher-ranked rivals in conference play could solidify or sink their chances, depending on how they perform in these pivotal matchups.
