Little abbreviated today. Higher seed in CAPS. Opening Lines and picks given
MISSOURI STATE vs. Southern Illinois - no current line
Missouri State won by 13 and 18 points against SIU this year. Both team were money pits this year ATS, especially down the stretch. Might play the Bears if you get it at -12 or under but this is probably a no play.
PREDICTION: Missouri State 69-55
NORTHERN IOWA (Pk) vs. Creighton
Northern has struggled coming home without O'Rear. Play the Jays as long as it doesn't get above -3.
PREDICTION: Creighton 67-61
WICHITA STATE vs. Bradley- No current line
The Shocks won by 16 and 20 this year aginst the Braves. Bradley has been much better the last third of year, especially ATS, but Wichita has been a good favorite all year. Play them at -13 or better.
PREDICTION: Wichita State 74-60
INDIANA STATE (-3) vs. Evansville
The Aces won twice this year against the Sycs but third time will be much tougher. The Aces were just a horrible team away from home down the stretch. PREDICTION: Indiana State 67-57.
