SOUTH DAKOTA STATE
The Jackrabbits are 6-2 so far this season, going 2-1 in the Gulf Coast Showcase. The Jackrabbits are led by third year Head Coach T.J. Otzelberger. Otzelberger has gone 46-24 in two seasons with consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament, earning league Coach of the Year honors in 2017-18 while bringing the program's first-ever outright regular season Summit League title to Brookings.
Last year's Jackrabbit squad won a program record 28 games, finishing 28-7 on the year with a 13-1 mark in the Summit League. The Jacks were one of just three teams nationally to win 19 of their final 20 games entering the NCAA Tournament, cruising to the league's regular season and tournament title to earn the No. 12 seed in the West region of the NCAA Tournament.
South Dakota State's player to watch is senior forward Mike Daum. Daum has averaged 23.9 points per game and hauls in 10.3 rebounds per game.
