Projection: need to automatically qualify

South Dakota's chances for an NCAA tournament bid hinge heavily on their offensive strength, evidenced by impressive scoring performances like their high-scoring victories against teams like Southern University and Idaho State. However, their defensive struggles are concerning, illustrated by losses to Iowa, Nebraska, and notably, the defeat against St. Thomas Minnesota, where they surrendered a staggering amount of points. The Summit League is competitive, and with games remaining against rivals like South Dakota State and North Dakota State, each contest offers both a chance to solidify their standing and a risk of further damaging their tournament hopes, especially if they continue to falter defensively.
