ANALYSIS: Per this website's calculations, South Dakota St. is somewhere between an average to slightly above-average D1 ball-club. They are ranked #96 (out of 357) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 16-7. They are also ranked by this site as the best team (out of nine) in the Summit League (average ranking 204.1).
The primary strength for South Dakota St. this year is offense. The team is ranked 40th in efficiency on that end of the floor, and they'll rack up more than 109 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. South Dakota St. is a very dangerous team when it comes to shooting the rock, ranking in the top-25 in three of our four major field goal categories. They can be considered sharpshooters out on the perimeter, converting 39.0% of their three-pointers (12th in the nation), 44.4% of their mid-range chances (21st), and 48.6% of their total shots from the field (19th) vs. AO. South Dakota St. also does a really good job to acquire opportunities from the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 28.31 vs. AO, they are ranked 43rd in the nation at getting to the charity stripe, where the team shoots a rather mediocre 71.7%.
Unfortunately, South Dakota St. is not even remotely close to being as good on defense as they are on offense. The team is ranked 229th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 103 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. South Dakota St. does not stand out in a positive manner when they're asked to defend in the paint. The team is ranked 294th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on 62.6% of their attempts from close-up. On a positive note, AO will take nowhere near as many inside shots as they typically would and, as a result, only 30.1% of AO's field goal attempts will come from short-distance. If South Dakota St. does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success stopping opponents from earning second-chance opportunities via offensive boards. The team has a rating of 9.59 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 11th-best in college hoops.
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.
