Bracket Projection: South Dakota State

The South Dakota State Jackrabbits won the Summit League automatic bid in a thriller over Omaha in T.J. Otzelberger's first season as head coach. The Jackrabbits are winners of nine of their last 11 games and led by sophomore forward Mike Daum, who is second in the nation in scoring at 25.3 points per game. Since moving to Division I in 2004, the Jackrabbits have had three attempts at winning their first NCAA tournament game, but have come up empty. Can Otzelberger lead the Jackrabbits to their first win this year?
