Wednesday's Games

18-10 ATS after a split on Tuesday. The Aces were strong, but the Shocks?!....Never saw that coming. Opening lines are given with home team in CAPS.

MISSOURI STATE (-16) vs. Bradley

The Bears are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games and are 0-4-2 ATS in conference home games this year. Despite that they can regain a share of first place with a win thanks to SIU last night at Wichita. As favorites, the Bears are
7-9-2 ATS, but only 3-8-2 ATS in their last 13 in that role. Bradley is 3-4 ATS in conference road games, 4-5 ATS in all true road games. The Braves are 6-9 ATS as underdogs. Would love to play against the Bears and their recent poor run, but with first place in sight and Bradley's lack of strong numbers here we'll have to pass.
PREDICTION: Missouri State 72-56.

Indiana State (-2) @ ILLINOIS STATE

The Redbirds are 3-8 ATS at home this year, 2-4 ATS in conference home games. They have played better of late winning 3 straight before losing their last 2 on the road. They are 5-4 ATS in conference games as underogs, including 4-2 ATS in their last 6 in that roll. The Sycamores are 4-2 ATS in conference road games, 6-5 ATS in all true road games. They have fared well as favorites going 6-3 ATS, 3-2 ATS in conference in that role, but have dropped their last 2 as conference favorites. Like the way The Redbirds have played lately. Play Illinois State.
PREDICTION: Illinois State 71-67.

I know it's very homerish of me to say this, but after a season full of suck, I think the redbirds finally turn the afterburners on and win convincingly. (especially with Jake Kelly out)

Don't know...Jake Kelly was out last time we played them. So was Latham and the Sycs won big. I sure as hell hope you are right, but I'd be thrilled with a win and maybe some decent outside shooting.

I'll take both underdogs.

BU is bad, but 16 points is too much for that game.

I like ISU in the other game
