Creighton has owned the Salukis over the last couple of seasons. S. Illinois will still be without their Center in this one. Creighton's young Center McDermott, who is the coach's son, is the real deal. Over the past couple seasons, these games have been high scoring and into the 140's and above. I think S. Illinois will try to keep things up-tempo without their main post player tonight. In the end, Creighton gets the win and they go OVER 124.
Wichita State at Illinois State
The Shockers are the real deal and will be nationaly ranked soon. They got blown at last year at Illinois State and will have a little revenge in store as the Redbirds lost a lot of talent from last season. I like Wichita State to win by 10-12 here.
Bradley at Drake
Drake is not that good, but Bradley sucks!!! Taking the home team and the Under 130.5
Evansville at Missouri State
MSU is 3-0 in the Valley after beating 2 of the top 4 in the league on the road. I can see them having a bit of a let down in this one, though there is no chance they lose to the Aces. I just dont think they will cover 16. They will probably get up by over 20 at some point, only to allow Evansville to cover. I would lean to playing the Under in case Evansville gets shut down and cant score enough points. But I think I will pass on the play myself.
Play: Creighton PK
OVER 124
Wichita State -8
Drake -3
UNDER 130.5
Evansville +16
Pretty confident that both Kelly and Lathan will be out for Indiana state tonight. This puts a lot of pressure on freshman to perform vs a great northern Iowa defense. I will have to take UNI -3 here. The spread may move more when both are confirmed as out before the game starts.
I was referring to original post, and had evansville at +15, which looked great until they got shut down in 2nd half and pushed for me. You swept getting in at 16 earlier.
