The South Dakota State Jackrabbit Women were heavily favored to cut down the nets at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center when the Summit League Tournament began on Friday, and that's just what they did on Tuesday afternoon with a win over the Omaha Mavericks.

Led by 4 different players in double figures, as well as 10 different players scoring on the day, the Jacks picked up an impressive 93-51 win in Tuesday afternoon's title game.

It is the first Summit League Tournament title for the Jackrabbits since the 2018-19 season when they defeated South Dakota 83-71.

Ten Most Disappointing Minnesota Sports Seasons

The 2021 Minnesota Twins entered the season with high expectations, but unfortunately, they've made the list of most disappointing Minnesota teams of all time.

Disappointment is a common feeling for Minnesota sports fans as the years continue. Following the NBA Championship win for Milwaukee, SportsCenter was quick to point out that Minnesota has the current longest streak of seasons without a championship appearance in the four major sports (MLB/NBA/NFL/NHL). The Minnesota Lynx also chimed in on the stat after claiming four championships since 2011.

The ten teams that are on this list all follow a similar pattern. The year prior was either a great season with a playoff run or one that featured a strong core of players that appeared to have taken the next step. Offseason/preseason expectations were high with even Las Vegas oddsmakers believing in a deep run. Unfortunately, those preseason expectations fell short for the following teams. None of the teams listed below made the playoffs.
