2024 Tournament PreviewChampions of both the Summit League regular season and tournament, the Jackrabbits are dancing for the seventh time since 2012. South Dakota State has plenty of weapons, as junior point guard Zeke Mayo (18.8 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 3.5 apg) leads four players in double figures, three of whom shoot at least 38 percent from deep. The Jackrabbits do their best work in the paint, however, as 6-9 William Kyle (13.1 ppg, 6.6 rpg, 1.6 bpg) and 6-8 Luke Appel (11.7 ppg) help the team rank 19th nationally in 2-point field-goal percentage and 38th in defensive rebounding rate. The biggest question is resume (or lack thereof). The Jackrabbits played only three games in Quads 1 and 2 combined, all losses. They also have five Quad 4 losses, suggesting the Jackrabbits can lose to just about anyone. Mayo can put the team on his back, but getting the first tourney win in program history is a long shot.
