South Dakota gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Monday. They took their game at home with ease, bagging a 85-53 win over the Lancers.

As for their next game, South Dakota is expected to win a tight contest, barring any buzzer beaters. They finished last season with a 10-18 record against the spread.

South Dakota ought to be happy about their advantage in the spread: the team was a solid 7-4 when favored last season.
