What to Know

The Northern Arizona Lumberjacks are on the road again Saturday and play against the South Dakota Coyotes at 4:30 p.m. ET Dec. 11 at Sanford Coyote Sports Center. The Lumberjacks should still be riding high after a win, while South Dakota will be looking to regain their footing.

After constant struggles on the road, Northern Arizona has finally found some success away from home. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 73-70 victory over the Idaho State Bengals on Saturday.

Meanwhile, South Dakota was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Tuesday as they fell 74-69 to the Northern Colorado Bears.

Northern Arizona is expected to lose this next one by 5. Those who got lucky with them against the spread on Saturday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.

Northern Arizona's win brought them up to 4-5 while the Coyotes' loss pulled them down to a reciprocal 5-4. The Lumberjacks are 2-1 after wins this season, and South Dakota is 2-1 after losses.
