Evansville at Valparaiso

Evansville is having a disastrous season with a 6-23 record and the Purple Aces have totally regressed from last season's 9-16 record that was supposed to be the beginning of a resurgence. The Aces have lost seven in a row, including an embarrassing 82-31 debacle against Loyola Chicago on Feb. 23 when they made only 10 field goals. Valparaiso is not having one of its better seasons, but it won the first two meetings and the Beacons are 7-3 ATS versus teams with losing records and they have covered five of six following an ATS loss and they are 11-2 ATS their past 13 games after losing by at least 20 points. This is the first round of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament in St. Louis and the Purple Aces are 1-4 ATS their past five games at neutral sites. Play Valparaiso.
