Uh, any insight to what happened from the Panther contingent or did they all make the trip to Terre Haute?

Wow, that team has issues.

BU and Il St are playing Thursday for sure.

....Little different take on Friday's games. Current lines are given. Home team in CAPS. Betting trends against the soread (ATS) are included.

Northern Iowa (-3) @ INDIANA STATE

Northern is only 1-4 ATS on true road games so far this year. Indiana State is 5-1 ATS at home this year.
PREDICTION: Indiana State to cover and win 63-60.


DRAKE (-3) vs. Bradley

Bradley is 2-4 ATS as a dog this year while Drake is 2-1 ATS as a favorite and 3-2 ATS at home.
PREDICTION: Drake to win and cover 69-61


Wichita State (-8) @ ILLINOIS STATE

Wichita is 5-2 ATS as a favorite this year while the Redbirds are only 2-7 ATS at home. Numbers say the Shox.
PREDICTION: Wichita to win and cover 80-69.


MISSOURI STATE (-16) vs. Evansville

The Bears are 7-2 ATS as favorites so far this year. Evansville 2-5 ATS as a dog.
PREDICTION: Missouri State to win and cover 82-64.


SOUTHERN ILLINOIS (PK) vs. Creighton

Creighton is 3-1 ATS in true road games thus far. The Salukis are 2-3 ATS at home.
PREDICTION: Creighton in a tight one 65-63.

The trends go 4-1 ATS tonight. Only a 1 point Evansville cover keeps it from being perfect. I personally played Indiana State and Wichita State. Didn't like laying the number on the road, but couldn't ignore that 2-7 home ATS Illinois State had going. I'll put Sunday's games up tommorrow.

Thats a tough one to figure out for UNI. We were never even in the game. UNI has been really bad in true road games this year. Interesting to see how/if we can rebound from a performance like this on Sun against Bradley.

I don't know what happened after the team was in Vegas, but we have been awful since then. We were a very good team in Las Vegas, and it gave a lot of UNI fans hope that we might be better than expected this year. This team is very tough to figure out.

WSU went to Vegas as the #8 ranked team in the nation a few years ago and left in a death spiral. Maybe we should all stay outta there.

Yep and it was the exact same tourney I believe??

UNI's problem starts with the coach he really has no game plan or strategy other than slow it down and if you are executing at all on the offensive end early the game is over. I would go ahead and throw his name in with lowery's when it comes to he got his big long term contract now the panthers are gonna have to live with it in 2 years they will be calling for his head.

LOL

Yeah, right.

ISU-red's issue are at PG. Rubin is really struggling and, as a result, so are the Redbirds. It is hard to play well and play consistently when you have problems at the point.
