Now that they're scaled the heights of the Summit League Tournament, the South Dakota State men's and women's basketball teams are anxious to find out what's next for them in the 2016 post season.

The so-called 'experts' have some ideas.

ESPN's men's bracketologist Joe Lunardi has the Jackrabbits as the number-12 seed in the East regional. The current projection has SDSU opening in Spokane, Washington, playing fifth-seed California.

The automatic bid is the Jacks' third NCAA Tournament appearance in the last five years.

The 2016 men's selection show is Sunday, March 13, at 4:30 PM on CBS.
