What to Know
The South Dakota State Jackrabbits will take on the Nevada Wolf Pack at 7 p.m. ET Monday at Sanford Pentagon. South Dakota State will be strutting in after a victory while Nevada will be stumbling in from a defeat.
The Jackrabbits took their contest at home this past Thursday with ease, bagging a 99-62 win over the Presentation College Saints.
Meanwhile, the Wolf Pack were close but no cigar this past Thursday as they fell 73-70 to the San Francisco Dons. Guard Grant Sherfield wasn't much of a difference maker for Nevada; Sherfield finished with only eight points on 3-for-12 shooting in his 34 minutes on the court.
Barring any buzzer beaters, South Dakota State is expected to win a tight contest. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (3-0), so they might be worth a quick bet.
South Dakota State is now 5-1 while Nevada sits at a mirror-image 1-5. Two stats to keep an eye on: The Jackrabbits enter the matchup with 88.4 points per game on average, good for 21st best in college basketball. Less enviably, the Wolf Pack are stumbling into the game with the 20th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 80 on average.
