South Dakota vs Oral Roberts Betting Pick

This game will be played at Mabee Center at 8:00 p.m. ET on Monday, January 30, 2023.

Why Bet On South Dakota:

✅ Oral Roberts is 10-0 in conference play, but they are slightly overvalued here after feasting on the worst teams in the Summit League. They are coming off of wins over North Dakota, Omaha, and Denver, the bottom-three teams in the league standings, and South Dakota will give them a tougher challenge.

✅ The Golden Eagles are just 10-8-1 against the spread despite their 19-4 straight up record on the season.

South Dakota Coyotes

The South Dakota Coyotes come into Monday night with a 10-12 overall record and a 5-5 record in Summit League play. They got a win in their last game, defeating St. Thomas – Minnesota by 14 points on the road. Here, they face a much tougher test against an Oral Roberts team that looks destined to head to the NCAA Tournament once again.

For South Dakota, the key to this game is clearly going to be finding a way to slow down Max Abmas. Abmas is one of the nation’s most prolific scorers, averaging 22.0 points per game on 45% shooting. If the Coyotes cannot force him into a less efficient night than usual, they could get crushed on the road here.

Oral Roberts Golden Eagles

The Oral Roberts Golden Eagles have played 10 Summit League games so far this season. They have won all 10 of those games, going 19-4 overall on the year. They will look to move to 11-0 in league play with a win over South Dakota here, in a game they are heavily favored to win.

The question here is whether this point spread is too big for the Golden Eagles to cover. They have an average margin of victory of 13.8 points per game, which is just short of the amount they would need to win this game by. While their main goal is to simply win the game, bettors backing the Golden Eagles will hope for a sufficient margin to cover a huge number at home.
