The South Dakota Coyotes and the Denver Pioneers will face off in a Summit battle at 9:00 p.m. ET on Thursday at Hamilton Gymnasium. Given that the pair suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.

The Coyotes have traveled a rocky road recently, as they've lost five of their last six matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 9-11 record this season. As for the Pioneers, their defeat dropped their record down to 12-8.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: South Dakota have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 40.4 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Denver struggles in that department as they've been averaging 38 rebounds per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
