Sunday's Games

[PocketAces]

13-7 now with Creighton and UE winners on Saturday. Looking to finish off a strong weekend. Opening lines given. Home team in CAPS.

ILLINOIS STATE (-4) vs. Drake

The Redbird's ATS record in this spot is not very good. 3-8 ATS as favorites and 3-7 ATS at home. They are however 2-3 ATS in conference home games. Not much to brag about, but enough to give us a play as we go against Drake and their ATS record in this spot. The Bulldogs are 5-8 as underdogs and 2-5 in true road games ATS. We go against Drake here because of their 1-5 ATS record as confernce underdogs and an 0-4 ATS record in conference road games. Play against Drake here. PREDICTION: Illinois State 68-60.


MISSOURI STATE (-7) vs. Northern Iowa

The Bears have not been strong in these spots. They are only 2-4-2 ATS as favorites within the conference and have yet to cover in conference home games with a 0-2-2 ATS record. They are 7-5-2 ATS as favorites for the entire year. The Panthers however aren't strong enough here to play. They are 4-2 ATS as underdogs, but they are only 2-6 ATS in true road games and 1-3 ATS in conference road games. No play here.
PREDICTION: Missouri State 67-60

-7 seems way too much. Every time someone says something like this, the games usually follow right in line with the oddsmakers, but I'm thinking that game will be a couple points either way.

[PeKaph]

Seven seems like WAY too many to give to UNI in this game. The Bears should be favored, but not by seven.

[DUBulldog]

I'll take both underdogs and the points.

Drake up 1 with under a minute to play.

[MVCfans]

wow... Drake up by 3 and fouls Anthony Cousin shooting a 3 pointer with 7 secs left.

Tie game - 0:07 to play.

[MVCfans]

Birds up 75-71 in OT.

[MVCfans]

Wow... Drake 3 at the buzzer to win it.

edit... go to the replay and they reverse the basket. Illinois State wins.

[PeKaph]

There's no way Drake got that three off. ISU wins one. Terrible final play by Drake is a mark of a poorly-coached team. That may be the nail in the Phelps coffin.

LOL, it was better than their final play in regulation, when they got the ball with 8 seconds left and a tie game.
