BROOKINGS, S.D.—The 12th-seeded South Dakota State Jackrabbits (26-6) make their first trip to the Golden State since 2008 when they plays 5th-seeded and 19th-ranked Miami (24-8) in the first round of the 2016 NCAA Tournament. The Jackrabbits and the Hurricanes tip off in Stanford, California, Saturday at 5:30 p.m. CT on ESPN2
• SDSU will appear in its seventh NCAA Tournament after accepting the automatic bid by winning its seventh Summit League Tournament title. The Jackrabbits are a No. 12 seed for the first time.
• Miami went 24-8 overall and 10-6 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Hurricanes lost to Notre Dame in the ACC Tournament semifinals.
• A win over 19th-ranked Miami means a meeting with either No. 4 Stanford or No. 13 San Francisco. Two wins and the Jackrabbits are in Lexington, Ky., for the regionals for the first time in school history.
• SDSU has advanced past the NCAA First Round in 2009, beating TCU, 90-55, March 22, 2009.
• Senior Gabrielle Boever is 0-4 and classmate Chloe Cornemann is 0-3 in the NCAA Championship, having advanced to the first round in 2015, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
• South Dakota State will have had 11 days between The Summit League title game when tip-off occurs Saturday. That's the longest layoff in the program's history since a 17-day gap between the end of a regular season and the first round of the WNIT in 2008. The Jackrabbits had a 12-day layoff before the 2011, 2010 and 2009 NCAA Tournaments and won its first-round game in 2009.
• The Jacks had five players earn Summit League postseason honors. Sophomores Macy Miller and Ellie Thompson were named to the first and second teams, respectively, while junior Kerri Young earned honorable mention. Junior Clarissa Ober was named Defensive Player of the Year and rookie Madison Guebert was tabbed the Freshman of the Year and named to the Summit League All-Newcomer Team.
• SDSU has a four-game winning streak and has won 17 of its last 20 outings.
• South Dakota State's starting lineup of Miller, Guebert, Young, Thompson & Ober is the highest-scoring lineup in The Summit League with four players averaging double digits.
