ANALYSIS: South Dakota St. is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. Haslametrics has them ranked 165th overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 18-17. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of nine) in the Summit League (average ranking 186.6).
South Dakota St. succeeds primarily through their offense. They are ranked 72nd in offensive efficiency and score in excess of 107 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. South Dakota St. is 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 29.35 vs. AO. South Dakota St. is also superb at converting jumpers in between the three-point stripe and the low post. The squad is ranked 20th nationally in mid-range field goal percentage, making about 40.9% of their attempts from those locations vs. AO. However, considering their success when shooting from mid-range, this team is extremely unlikely to shoot from there. Only 18.7% of the team's field goal attempts vs. AO are from those in-between locations (the tenth-lowest percentage in the country).
Unfortunately, South Dakota St. is not even remotely close to being as good on defense as they are on offense. The team is ranked 294th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 109 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 87.70 vs. AO. South Dakota St. is also extremely underskilled to force steals that turn into quick and easy points. They're ranked #327 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 7.93 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 23.55 vs. AO, which ranks 46th-best in the country.
South Dakota St. has been playing some of its most efficient basketball of the season recently and is presently ranked fifth in positive momentum. 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.
