FIVE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
1. As it has been all season, the Hardrockers shoot the ball well from three-point range, hitting 36.8% (4th RMAC) and 9.0 per game (2nd RMAC).
2. Turnovers were a problem for much of the year, but since the calendar flipped to 2022, they are turning it over just 11.4 times per game in 12 games. That number would be good for 2nd in the RMAC.
3. South Dakota Mines strength has been on the defensive end, allowing 73 points per game (6th RMAC) on 44.5% percent shooting (6th RMAC).
4. South Dakota Mines currently sits in 12th in the RMAC but hope to move into a playoff spot in the final 4 games.
