ANALYSIS:
Per this website's calculations, South Dakota is somewhere between an average to slightly above-average D1 ball-club. They are ranked #133 (out of 357) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 14-11. They are also ranked by this site as the #4 team (out of nine) in the Summit League (average ranking 204.1).

The primary strength for South Dakota this year is offense. The team is ranked 81st in efficiency on that end of the floor, and they'll rack up more than 105 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. South Dakota is one of the most accurate teams when shooting from long-distance. They're ranked 13th nationally in three-point field goal percentage and make about 38.8% of their attempts from there vs. AO. South Dakota is also deadly accurate at the free throw line. Making 78.7% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 17th nationally in free throw percentage.

Unfortunately, South Dakota is not even remotely close to being as good on defense as they are on offense. The team is ranked 260th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 104 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. South Dakota is extremely underskilled to force steals that turn into quick and easy points. They're ranked #345 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 7.18 vs. AO.
