What to Know

South Dakota was on the positive side of .500 (19-12) last season and is hoping to kick off an even more successful year. Wisconsin went 25-8 last year and got to the second round of the NCAA tournament before losing to the Iowa State Cyclones 54-49.

To make matters even worse for South Dakota, Wisconsin was second best in turnovers per game, finishing the 2021-2022 season with only 8.7 on average.
