North Dakota State opened the year on a bad note at 0-5 but then won seven of their next eight games. Since then the Bison are 5-4, taking wins over Denver (twice), UM Kansas City, Oral Roberts and South Dakota State in that time. 

In the 84-82 win over South Dakota State last weekend, North Dakota State’s Rocky Kreuser put up 17 points with six rebounds and one assist. Sam Griesel added 15 points with five boards and four assists, while Maleeck Harden-Hayes added 11 points with five rebounds. 

Over on the South Dakota side, their year started out ugly as well at 1-6. The Coyotes would go on a nice 10-game win streak.  Since then it’s been three losses to South Dakota State and North Dakota prior to a win last weekend over Oral Roberts. 

In the 86-84 win over Oral Roberts, South Dakota’s AJ Plitzuweit led the team on 37 points with five rebounds and two assists. Xavier Fuller posted 22 points with seven rebounds, and Stanley Umude added 11 points with five rebounds and five assists. 

The Coyotes are 0-4 ATS in their last four Saturday games and 11-23 ATS in their last 34 after an ATS loss. South Dakota is 0-4 ATS in their last four overall and the over is 37-17-1 in their last 55 Saturday games. 

Meanwhile, the Bison are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five Saturday games and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games. North Dakota State is 1-3-1 ATS in their last five overall and the over is 5-1 in their last six Saturday games. 

PICK: I’m going to stick with South Dakota in this one. The Coyotes have had a rough run in this 1-3 stretch, but the good news is that they’re still scoring well. South Dakota has notched 76 or more points in each of their last four outings, and had some good totals during that lengthy winning streak as well. If the Coyotes can keep up that level of offensive output I like them on a cover here.
