Ball State at Eastern Michigan

After enduring a 4-11 stretch the Eagles of Eastern Michigan turned the corner in early February and became a winning team closing at 6-3. They have also been 4-2 ATS in conference play as a favorite. They turned an early-season close loss to Ball State by four, into an 11-point win as this team began to put it together. Ball State managed just six wins on the season and this team shoots just 40% from the floor and 30% from three-point range, which combines to be just about the worst in the country. The Eagles are the better team and is playing better so we will ride them to advance here.
