Bradley at Southern Illinois

Bradley is terrible defensively, allowing 82 points their last game, a loss at Illinois State. They allowed 51% shooting and 52% from long range. At least Bradley had their offense clicking, shooting 50% from the field and nailing 12 three pointers (44%). But Illinois State shot 51% from the field (26-51) and drained 13 three-pointers. Bradley placed four shooters in double figures. That weak defense faces a Southern Illinois squad that is home and off a win over Loyola, shooting 44%. This is a low total and the two meetings last year were by scores of 66-60 and 75-64. Play Bradley/Southern Illinois OVER the total.
