Evansville at Missouri State

A pair of Missouri Valley Conference foes will clash at Missouri State tonight as Evansville pays a visit. Each of these teams has had some good seasons but they both enter tonight's contest at 8-9. Evansville brings a strong defense into this contest a key ingredient for being competitive on the road. The Purple Aces have held each of their last eight opponents to 40% shooting or less. On the other hand, Missouri State has allowed 50% shooting or better in seven of its last 10.  I think that gives the visiting dog a big advantage tonight. Take Evansville.
