South Dakota State @ Denver

Current Records: South Dakota State 21-4; Denver 9-17

What to Know

After two games on the road, the Denver Pioneers are heading back home. The Pioneers and the South Dakota State Jackrabbits will face off in a Summit battle at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday at Hamilton Gymnasium. Denver has some work to do to even out the 1-12 series between these two since January of 2016, but a win here would be a good start.

Denver came up short against the North Dakota State Bison on Saturday, falling 73-65.

Meanwhile, South Dakota State beat the South Dakota Coyotes 89-79 on Saturday.

Denver have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 12 point spread they are up against. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a two-game streak of ATS wins.

South Dakota State's victory lifted them to 21-4 while Denver's defeat dropped them down to 9-17. We'll see if South Dakota State can repeat their recent success or if the Pioneers bounce back and reverse their fortune.
