ANALYSIS

We are siding with the Bison, whose 11-1 conference record and +10.2 scoring margin are reinforced by a dominant 83-66 road win over North Dakota on February 14th. NDSU’s physical interior edge, which produced a +13 rebounding margin in their last outing, should neutralize an SDSU team they already defeated by double digits in January. With no reported injuries and the Bison entering this matchup with nine road wins—the fourth-most in the nation—the -120 price fails to capture sophomore Andy Stefonowicz’s current form following his perfect 5-of-5 performance from deep last Saturday.
Key Data
NDSU: +10.2 PPG margin and +4.8 rebounding margin; SDSU allows 12.4 second-chance points per game in road losses; Previous H2H: NDSU 76, SDSU 65.

OUTCOME

North Dakota State Bison 74 - South Dakota State Jackrabbits 66
