Midmajor watch: check out South Dakota State, who are now 28-2. Best win Minnesota; losses to Maryland and, in the Summit League, Oakland. Will they have to win their conference tournament? Probably not-- but it could make a big difference as to their seed.

The Jackrabbits have only been a Division I team for four years, and this season marks the first time SDSU are even eligible for the NCAA tournament. I remember when their coach, Aaron Johnston, very briefly accepted, and then turned down, Kevin Borseth's old job at Green Bay.
