South Dakota State opens the season on the road at Creighton Monday night in Omaha.
The Jackrabbits are coming off a 30-4 season that ended in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at the hands of eventual-champion UConn. Creighton went 26-7 in 2024-25. The Bluejays lost to UConn in the Big East championship game but received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. Creighton fell to Illinois in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament. Combined, these rosters feature six upperclassmen and 17 underclassmen.
