Syracuse Coming In: Syracuse had an up and down regular season, but finished playing good basketball. Despite not having Tiana Mangakahia (injury), Priscilla Williams (injury) and several other players (violation of team rules), Syracuse beat Florida State and was competitive against Louisville. Mangakahia will be back for the Orange, but Williams is still dealing with her head injury and did not travel with the team. The suspended players (Kiara Fisher, Faith Blackstone, Taleah Washington and Khamya McNeal) also did not make the trip.
South Dakota State Coming In: South Dakota State was the Summit League regular season champion, but was shocked in the conference tournament by Omaha. This was the first at large bid in program history. The Jackrabbits are led by junior forward Myah Selland, who averages 19.2 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. Tylee Erwin is the team's best outside shooter at 40.2% from beyond the arc. She averages 13.3 points per game.
