Nevada Basketball opponent preview and prediction: South Dakota State

The Nevada Wolf Pack begin the first of three games at the Crossover Classic against the South Dakota State Jackrabbits in Sioux Falls, S.D. on Monday, Nov. 22.

The Jackrabbits, who rank No. 78 in KenPom’s rankings, four slots behind Nevada (74), enter at 4-1 with three consecutive wins — two coming against solid opponents (Montana State, Stephen F. Austin) while another against a Division-III program (Presentation College). They have won 20 or more games in five of their last seven seasons, not including this one, with three NCAA Tournament berths (all first round losses).

The Wolf Pack sit at 1-3 with three straight losses — all to West Coast Conference programs.
