Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles at South Dakota Coyotes

South Dakota owns the glass at home, and those second-chance buckets stretch leads—exactly what you want laying a single digit. They went 14-2 at home last season, and Southern Indiana’s road form and leaky defense haven’t traveled, which is a bad mix against USD’s recent home scoring burst. In a game totaled at 164.5, the extra possessions tilt even harder toward a comfortable margin, with Ihnen’s uptick adding a reliable third scorer to keep the pressure on. Only risk is a late backdoor if pace gets wild, but USD’s rebounding edge and USI’s road woes make that more bark than bite—have the guts to ride the Coyotes here.
