This is an 8* play on South Dakota

I always give at least a cursory glance to the added board on a day such as this and today something really caught my eye. South Dakota probably deserves to have a better record than its current mark of 8-10 as all but three of those defeats have been by six points or less. I like them today in the underdog role visiting Omaha. The hosts got off to a very rough 3-7 start to this year, but have turned things around by going 7-1 in their last eight games. But don't go buying these Mavericks just yet as I don't believe they'll be able to maintain their recent scoring pace. South Dakota will slow this game down and play at their preferred tempo, which should keep things lower scoring and thus an ideal spot for an underdog. Grab the points. Play on SOUTH DAKOTA
