South Dakota at DePaul

DePaul has a great opportunity to get its first win of the season after losing its first two, including 77-73 to Long Beach State, which jumped out to a 37-21 halftime lead. The Blue Demons responded by outscoring the Beach 52-40 in the second half, but still came up short. South Dakota has only a few players back from the 2022-23 squad and none of them were starters. The Coyotes finished 19-12 overall and 7-11 in Summit League play, and figure to finish middle of the pack this season at best. Elijah Fisher scored 25 points for the Blue Demons against Long Beach State and they expect improvement this year after being decimated by injuries last season. Take DePaul.
