South Dakota State releases women's basketball non-conference schedule
South Dakota State announced its full non-conference schedule on Wednesday, consisting of five home games, a trip to the Bahamas and the previously announced showdown with powerhouse South Carolina at the Pentagon in Sioux Falls.
After hosting Division II Southwest Minnesota State in an exhibition on Nov. 2, the Jacks open the season with three straight at home, taking on Creighton (Nov. 7), Lehigh (Nov. 11) and Mississippi State (Nov. 14). The latter is a significant get, as the Bulldogs, while coming off a mediocre season, made five straight NCAA tournaments from 2015-19 and were national runners-up in 2017 and 2018.

The Jacks are then at Washington State, at Montana State, home against Northern Iowa, at Kansas State and home against Tennessee-Martin, before taking on the Gamecocks in Sioux Falls on Dec. 15.
The Summit League schedule will be announced at a later date.
