What to Know
South Dakota has played every game this season on their home court, but they'll have to hit the road on Tuesday. They will take on the DePaul Blue Demons at 9:00 p.m. ET at Wintrust Arena. South Dakota might want some stickum for this match since the team gave up 18 turnovers on Friday.
Winning is just a little bit easier when you nail seven more threes than your opponent, a fact South Dakota proved. They put the hurt on the Vaqueros with a sharp 100-79 win. The oddsmakers were on South Dakota's side, but they didn't give the squad enough credit as the margin was unexpectedly wide.
Meanwhile, the Blue Demons were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Saturday as they fell 77-73 to the Beach. DePaul has now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Despite their loss, DePaul saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Elijah Fisher, who earned 25 points, was perhaps the best of all. Less helpful for DePaul was Chico Carter Jr.'s abysmal 0-5 three-point shooting.
The opposite results left the teams with opposite records: the Blue Demons' victory pushed their record up to 0-2, while the Coyotes' loss dropped theirs down to 2-0.
South Dakota is hoping to beat the odds on Tuesday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. They finished last season with a 10-18 record against the spread.
The disadvantage in the odds might be especially worrying for South Dakota considering the team was a sub-par 3-14 as the underdog last season. A bettor who placed a $100 dollar bet on them to lose every one of the 30 games they played last year would have netted $219.10. On the other hand, DePaul will play as the favorite, and the team was 6-3 as such last season.
