I think the Illinois St. Redbirds have a misleading record. This team got hot over a seven game stretch and went 6-1 SU. The bad news is they are 4-7 in their other 11 games, including 0-3 SU in their last three contests. They are going from being a +10.5 point dog to a -10.5 point favorite over a 7-11 Missouri St. team. Missouri St. will lean heavily upon their top 3 scorers, White, Brady, and Bonsu. These are the top 3 scorers with a combined usage rate of 49.5%. That will rise to 60% today, making them a better team. Make the play on Missouri St.
