ANALYSIS: While not an atrocious team by any means, South Dakota St. is not exactly one that should appear in many top-100 rankings either. Carrying a record of 18-17, they are currently rated #181 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #4 team (out of nine) in the Summit League (average ranking 185.3).
South Dakota St. has a reasonably potent offensive attack. Occupying the #77 slot in our offensive efficiency rankings, they will score about 107 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. South Dakota St. lives and dies by the three-ball and will launch from long-distance early and often. The team ranks 15th in ratio of three-point attempts to total field goal attempts. When it comes to actually making their three-point attempts, the squad shoots a so-so 35.7% from beyond the arc vs. AO. South Dakota St. is also deadly accurate at the free throw line. Making 77.1% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 18th nationally in free throw percentage. Moreover, they get ample opportunity to beat you from the line, as the ball-club falls in the top-100 in free throw attempt rate with a rating of 29.26 vs. AO.
Unfortunately, South Dakota St. is not even remotely close to being as good on defense as they are on offense. The team is ranked 308th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 110 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. South Dakota St. allows the opposition to get off far too many shots from the floor. The team is ranked sixth from the bottom in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 87.49 vs. AO. South Dakota St. also does a pretty inadequate job to provide chances for themselves to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked #322 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 7.91 vs. AO. If South Dakota St. does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success preventing opponents from getting to the free throw line. The team has a defensive free throw attempt rate of 23.48 vs. AO, which ranks 46th-best in the country.
South Dakota St. has been playing much better basketball as of late and is presently ranked fifth in positive momentum because of it. South Dakota St. has also been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 304th in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
