This is the third straight Summit League championship for the Jackrabbits.
ESPN.com makes the following important observation regarding South Dakota State:
Thanks to an ambitious non-conference schedule that included trips to Kansas, Ole Miss, Wichita State, Colorado, and even a holiday tourney in the Grand Cayman Islands, South Dakota State has a healthier RPI and BPI than your average Summit League squad and should be prepared for the level of athleticism they'll face this week in the NCAA tourney.
South Dakota State's defense was not always up to par this season. They surrendered 98 points to Kansas, 95 to Wichita State, and 112 to Colorado this season.
They went 19-9 Against The Spread.
Ohio State, meanwhile, comes into this game at the .500 mark Against The Spread.
The Buckeyes' starting five features four double-digit scorers. They might not have enough fire power to survive even against South Dakota State however. It's easy to understand why the Jackrabbits should at least be able to cover this spread, especially with the Power Ratings suggesting this will be the case.
