South Dakota St. was picked 1st in the preseason Summit League poll. The Jackrabbits won at least a share of their fifth straight regular season title in 2021 so they have established a winning tradition. Two Jackrabbits (Baylor Scheierman & Douglas Wilson) were selected to the first team All-Summit League first team. Noah Freidel was selected to the second team.
South Dakota St. is currently 5 - 2 on the season.
Wins: Bradley (81-65), Stephen F. Austin (83-71), Montana St. (91-74), Presentation (99-62), Nevada (102-75)
Losses: Alabama (104-88), Washington (87-76)

South Dakota St. has three players who average double figures. 6’4” Noah Freidel averages 19.6 points per game to lead the Jackrabbits. 6’7” Douglas Wilson is second on the team with 15.4 points per game. 6’6” Baylor Scheierman averages 13.3 ppg & 10.0 reb per contest. 6’4” Alex Arians (8.7 ppg) and 6’8” Matt Dentlinger (6.9 ppg) round out the starting lineup. Overall 9 Jackrabbits play double figure minutes.
The Jackrabbits have averaged 88.6 points per game while giving up 76.9. South Dakota St. is shooting 50.8% from the floor and 43.3% from 3. Opponents are shooting 44.6% from the field and 36.0% from 3.
The game is on ESPN+.
My prediction: SDSU is a very good team. Do not underestimate them! They have home state advantage. We’ll struggle in this one given our overall lack of depth and the fact that this is the 3rd game in 3 days and our 8th game in just 16 days. Our confidence is shot. I hate to say it but this is another blowout loss. SDSU 85 - GMU 62. We limp out of South Dakota!
Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!
