Cal State Fullerton vs South Dakota Prediction

Cal State Fullerton didn’t lay a lick of defense in its opener against San Diego State, allowing 102 points on 48.5 percent shooting. South Dakota was in a similar boat against Northern Kentucky, also allowing 102 points but on 62 percent shooting from the field.

While it’s just a couple of games, we should see some fireworks if this is a sign of things to come. Guys are still getting their feet wet, and sometimes it takes a while for chemistry to build on the defensive side. I’m not getting involved with the side. Give me the over based on how these teams have looked out of the gate.
