These teams met last year and South Dakota came out an 80-76 winner and the Coyotes return two starters, Isaac Bruns and Cameron Fens, from that squad. They combined for 30 points in the Coyotes' 89-74 rout of Southern Indiana on Wednesday. South Dakota surprisingly made only two 3-pointers on eight attempts and still won easily as the Screaming Eagles were held to 34 percent shooting. The Coyotes are playing at their normally fast pace averaging 95.3 points. Western Michigan is 2-2 with losses to small-school Northwood and Campbell. The Broncos come off a 12-20 season with one starter returning. They did defeat IPFW 83-71 on Wednesday with Jayden Brewer scoring a team-leading 26 points, but the Broncos shot just 44 percent overall and 8-for-29 from 3-point distance. Take South Dakota on the moneyline.
