Nebraska assistant to coach South Dakota men

New South Dakota coach Craig Smith says he's looking forward to taking the program to the top of the Summit League, and soon.

"We expect to get in the NCAA tournament next year," Smith said after his introduction at a news conference Monday.

Smith, a Stephen, Minn., native and North Dakota alum, has been a longtime assistant for Nebraska coach Tim Miles. Smith coached with Miles at Mayville State, North Dakota State and Colorado State. He also has served as an assistant at Northern State in South Dakota and Minot State in North Dakota.
