South Dakota State is the very clear favorite here. They went 18-0 in conference and only 6 of those games were even within single digits. Still, it’s hard to dismiss Oral Roberts and NBA prospect Max Abmas. Oral Roberts did take South Dakota State to overtime in their last game, so they can challenge them. They just won’t be favored if they get that far.
