Projection: need to automatically qualify

South Dakota's season illustrates both promise and significant challenges, starting with a mixed record against a range of competitors. While they have impressive scoring, evident in high-profile wins like their victory over Southern University, their defensive struggles are alarming, highlighted by losses against teams like Southern Indiana and significant defeats to Nebraska and South Dakota State. The upcoming games against North Dakota and the rematch with North Dakota State present crucial opportunities to bolster their credentials; success in these matchups could shift perceptions as the Summit League tournament approaches. However, another misstep could derail their chances entirely, making each contest pivotal in determining their postseason fate.
