South Dakota State has traditionally been very successful in men's basketball. Prior to moving to Division I in 2004, the Jackrabbits were a power while in Division II.[https://www.nmnathletics.com//pdf8/796346.pdf?ATCLID=921547&SPSID=88453&SPID=7143&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=15000 South Dakota State Men's Basketball]. 2011–2012 Media Guide The team won 20 conference championships with the North Central Conference, advanced to the NCAA Division II Tournament 24 times, and won the 1963 NCAA College Division basketball tournament. Although initially struggling after the move to Division I, the team increased their win total each season, culminating in their first 20 win season at the Division I level in 2011–2012 and advancing to their first NCAA Division I Tournament. The Jackrabbits have appeared in the NCAA tournament seven times, most recently in 2024.

On March 8, 2022, the Jackrabbits advanced to their sixth NCAA tournament with a record of 30-4, a school record. They did it on a 21 game win streak (longest in the nation) and went 21-0 against Summit League opponents, something that had never been done before in conference history.

The Jackrabbits play their home games at the 6,500-seat Frost Arena. Eric Henderson was named head coach of the Jackrabbits on March 27, 2019, after serving as associate head coach under T.J. Otzelberger, who had been named head coach at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. The Jackrabbits have produced seven NBA draft picks including Nate Wolters, Steve Lingenfelter, and Tom Black. Cerci Mahone was picked up as a free agent and played for the Denver Nuggets.
