Evansville at Missouri State

When you look at the records of these teams overall and in conference play, it has been a dead heat. Missouri State and Evansville are both 16-10 and 6-7 in conference play. So why the line is -7 for Missouri State right now? The biggest reason has been the road failures of Evansville who is just 1-5 in their last six on the road. Half of those losses saw their opponent connect on 50% or better from the field. Another reason is they recently lost one of their top players in guard Dru Smith, and this is not a deep team. Missouri State lost earlier in the season at Evansville by nine. Dru Smith led the way with 15 points five rebounds and four assists. He won't be here tonight, and the Bears are home with revenge.
