USD comes in at 4th while SDSU is 5th in the ESPN Mid Major Poll

5. South Dakota State (17-4 overall, 7-1 Summit)

Last ranking: 6. Since: Home wins vs. IUPUI (68-66 2 OT) and Western Illinois (85-63), road win at Oral Roberts (68-50)

Spotlight on: Present good, future better. There are nine freshmen and sophomores on the South Dakota State roster. Ponder that for a minute. The current iteration of this mid-major dynasty is just getting up to speed. Take Madison Guebert, who in just the time since the previous rankings experienced the roller-coaster highs (8-of-11 shooting against Western Illinois) and lows (1-of-9 shooting against IUPUI) familiar to many freshmen. But it's the promise of those highs -- i.e. Guebert is shooting 49 percent (25 of 51) from the 3-point line since Christmas -- that means the Jackrabbits are here to stay.


What's ahead: South Dakota State gets some time at home in February, playing four of its next five games at Frost Arena, those games almost entirely against teams with losing league records.

Three teams in front of us in the Mid-major poll lost this week. It should be interesting to see how much we move up.

I'm kind of surprised that the Yotes aren't getting that much respect. Granted, their resume isn't that good.

Re: 2015-2016 Women's Mid-Major Poll

The top 5 remain the same as well as USD

#5 SDSU
#17 USD

SDSU drops to #8 and USD jumps from #17 to #15. That should create some excess steam in yote city!

USD #3 while SDSU is #7 in ESPN's most recent mid-major poll

7. South Dakota State (23-6, 13-3 Summit League)


Name to know: Macy Miller. She's the focus of every opposing defense. She has attempted nearly a hundred more shots than any of her teammates and more free throws than any of them. She leads the team in assists. And yet for all of that, Miller has turned over the ball just 48 times in 794 minutes this season. That takes something special from anyone, let alone a sophomore. Whether the result of all that defensive attention, fatigue or something physical, Miller's overall production and efficiency dipped in Summit games, but she's a guard with big-stage skills.


Résumé highlights: Did South Dakota State peak too early? Or are two recent road losses by a total of eight points against the other teams in the Summit's ruling triumvirate just hiccups? Put aside wins and losses and no team here has a better résumé than South Dakota State. It ran with and beat DePaul. It beat Arkansas. It gave Notre Dame one of the ACC giant's true tests this season, and led Maryland with five minutes to play on a neutral court. In part because of its schedule, it doesn't have the most impressive statistics here, but it proved itself on the court.

Championship Week: It will be a difficult road if South Dakota State doesn't want to put its NCAA at-large credentials to the test. Before it can even get another look at South Dakota, it likely has to go through IUPUI in the Summit semifinals. It took the Jackrabbits two overtimes at home to subdue the Jaguars, and they lost the rematch in Indianapolis.

Very impressive. Wisconsin-GB also received votes. Only loss for the ladies to a team not ranked or receiving votes was IUPUI
