North Dakota State at South Dakota

This is a natural rivalry between neighboring states, and each has something to be feeling good about coming into this contest. North Dakota State comes in at 11-5 on the season, winning five of their last six, with the only setback against the SEC's Arkansas. South Dakota is 12-7 to start the season. A quick look points to a quick 5-0 start against some very questionable competition, and the Coyotes are just 7-7 since. The biggest edge in this game comes with the Bison defense against the Coyote's offense. North Dakota State has really buttoned things up on the defensive end of the court, where none of their last four opponents have shot better than 39%. This game should be close, but when it comes late in the game, the Bison are more likely to get the needed stops to win the game. Go with North Dakota State on the moneyline.
