Want some insight into how South Dakota State plays basketball? Jackrabbit head coach Aaron Johnston, who has been immensely successful in a two-decade career with the program at the Division I level, explained why his 2023 team functions so well on offense, and will be a thorny opponent for USC at the NCAA Tournament.

“This team is really hard to defend because they are so unselfish. They pass the ball really well, they move very well on the floor, their spacing is good. I do believe that our guard play is a huge, huge positive for this year’s team,” said SDSU coach Aaron Johnston. “They make 3s, and pass the ball so well … They create a lot for each other. Then you have someone like Myah (Selland), Paiton (Burckhard), Kallie (Thiesen), Brooklyn (Meyer) inside that really requires sonme attention, too. So there’s just a lot of people that can make plays, but a lot of really unselfish people too.”
