E. Tennessee State at Illinois

East Tennessee State is unbeaten at home, but 2-3 on the road and they step up in competition against the Big 10. The Buccaneers are 1-6-2 ATS on the road against a team with a losing home record. They step up to face an Illinois squad that has excellent guard play. Coach Brad Underwood likes his team to apply pressure defensively and force turnovers, with the Illini forcing opponents into 18.1 miscues per contest. Illinois is 53-32 ATS at home off a home win, plus 38-16 ATS after a close win by three points or less. All of which makes this a great spot for the undervalued home court. Play Illinois.
