South Dakota Coyotes

Do you say Kai-Oats or Kai-Oat-Ees?

South Dakota U is basically in Nebraska - Vermillion, South Dakota, pouplation 11k.

The Coyotes are 6-5, NR, 169th in Kenpom.
They lost a close one @ Baylor and got blown out @ Colorado.
At the moment, their strength of schedule is one of the worst in the nation.

Last season South Dakota lost in the first round of the CBI.
And then they lost their head coach and their best player Matt Mooney transferred to Texas Tech.

Here's their new coach Todd Lee:



Top players:

Trey Burch-Manning
6'6 senior forward
13.5 PPG, 7.1 RPG, 53% 3FG.
Leads the team in 3 pointers made.




Triston Simpson
6'2 junior guard
12.3 PPG, 3.0 APG, 30% 3FG.
Leads the team in 3 pointers shot. But maybe shouldn't.
His basketball is property of the rock so he must have stolen it. He's average at stealing with 1.5 SPG.

Here's Christina from Nebraska:

HALLELUJAH !!!!
Moved to Northeastern Nebraska a few months ago and wept for months,
NOWHERE to get a good meal.
Then I was told of The Silk Road in Vermillion, 1 small hour away.
Well.
Can you hear the hallelujah choir? Do you see the fireworks exploding?
Fabulous food. Korean, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese.
I was worried the first time I ate there that I would fall to my knees, sobbing
with happiness and gratitude, unable to speak. I solved this by not saying
a word to anyone. I calmly walked away from the restaurant and cried
when safely locked in my car.
GO there, eat, be elated!!!!

I don't think you are looking/listening hard enough to the hallelujah choir and the fireworks exploding.

Vermillion might be the worst town in SD.

Todd Lee looks like a mix between JK Simmons and Dolph Lundgren.

[Soklous]

LeQuentin Grimes for 18.

[pdub]

I'd go under if thats the O/U.

[PhDhawk]

LeQuentin Grimes for 18.

I agree.

And I'm hoping it's him attacking the rim and not just getting hot from 3 like he did against MSU. I think him asserting himself is the best route for continued success.

Although, I'd love for him to find his perimeter shot too.

[Soklous]

Dunk. Midrange. Deep. All above.

Spend a night in Mitchell.

In fairness, outside of the black hills, most of SD sucks.

[Soklous]

Corn Palace disagrees with all yous.

[PhDhawk]

I said most.

If I needed to live in East River I'd probably do Sioux Falls or Brandon or Beresford.

Or Chaimberlain so I could eat at Al's Oasis and Taco John's whenever I wanted to.

Korean, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese.

No sushi?

Seriously, they can't do all of that well.

Christina from Nebraska disagrees.

No it's not. Wall is.
All it has is that stinking drug store, which really is nothing more than a western themed wal mart turned into a tourist trap. My car dropped its differential just outside of Wall on I-90 a couple of years ago and my family was stuck in Wall for 4 days waiting for a new one. Vermillion is paradise compared to that.
