Nothing like the Dakotas in late February and all of March:  the start of storm season in the lower plains is blizzard season up there...

Let us hope the shooting heats up for ORU as they have struggled in the last couple of games.  Max was only 33% in the final home stand.  

Look for USD to play much better than the 50 point blow out at the Mabee Center.  They are 7-5 at home, which is a lot better than their road record.  As long as the Coyotes do not hit 15-20 threes, then the Eagles should still win by 10-15.  Time to win 13 in a row!

Something tells me this road trip will not be cancelled due to weather.

USD has very little inside presence and sometimes has five guards on the floor.  I thought ORU played small ball but the Coyotes have taken it to a whole other level.  ORU has been out rebounded the last few games but they should control the paint against the Coyotes.  It will probaly be a close first half but then the Eagles pull away in the second half.

Prayers up for the team en route by air this afternoon, with blizzard conditions upon arrival.

Not sure if they are heading to Sioux Falls, SD (one hour north of USD campus in Vermillion), or to Sioux City, IA (30 minutes southeast of Vermillion).

All things considered, couldn't care less at this point whether they win these games in South Dakota; just want to see them home safely...

ORU opens at -14 on the road.  O/U at 153.5, so 84-70.  Could happen, but I’d be more confident of a closer and lower scoring game.

Thank you, Lord for their safe arrival. Please protect others whether travelling by air or lands. Amen.

Wonder what the temps and the roads will mean for their crowd - lots of older fans in the stands in Vermillion and Brookings.

I was wondering the same thing. Those North(oops!) South Dakotans are tough, though. Sub-zero temps probably won't slow 'em down!

USD has lost four in a row and trailed Denver by 40-12 at halftime in their last game.  Have they thrown in their chips?  The wheels seem to be coming off their car.   I can't imagine their confidence is too high but the Coyotes are at home and would expect them to give ORU their best shot.  What do they have to lose? Not much
