The Summit League opener, so expect strong defense as the second season of college basketball (conference play) commences. Indiana-Purdue played one of the nation's 25 toughest non-conference schedules, facing six major conference opponents and hosting just three games in the first 15. Among the toughest were games at No. 9 Butler and at No. 11 Purdue. The Jaguars' top four scorers this season are all Division I transfers who sat out last season with Darell Combs, Matt O'Leary, Jordan Pickett, and Nick Osborne combining to score 42.8 points per game. On the road Indiana-Purdue is averaging 62.4 points per game, looking to control the pace and slow the game down, scoring 48 and 54 the last two games (both UNDER). South Dakota has lost three of the last five games with some soft defense and poor free throw shooting (66.4% from the line for the season). The Coyotes are 3-7-1 ATS at home against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400, so grab the dog in a defensive battle. Play Indiana-Purdue and the UNDER.
