Alabama State (1-6, 1-6 D1) at South Dakota (7-3, 6-3 D1) – 8:00 PM EST
Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day takes place in Vermilion, South Dakota – home of the South Dakota Coyotes. The ‘Yotes began their season on a positive note with three wins in the Rainbow Classic against Pacific, Hawaii and Florida A&M. Their only real disappointing result so far this season has been a loss at Northern Arizona. Stanley Umude averages 16.7 points a game and 7.9 rebounds a game; Tyler Hagedorn averages 17.5 points a game and 6.5 rebounds a game as well.
Alabama State has had an eight-day layoff since their last game – they defeated Chicago State 67-54 in the 3rd place game in the undercard portion of the Emerald Coast Classic. They have played a tough schedule that includes losses at Gonzaga, Missouri State, Houston, Tennessee and VCU. Tobi Ewuoshu leads the Hornets with 14.1 points a game through their first seven games.
IN OTHER ACTION: Minnesota faces Iowa tonight in a Big Ten game where both teams could really use a win, and Duquesne looks to remain unbeaten as they face Columbia at home.
