Illinois Chicago at Bradley

The Flames have four starters returning, and are led by all league Othyus Jeffers. It was Josh Ayo however that seems to have upgraded his game the most for the Flames. He averaged 10.1 ppg last year but had 26 vs Davidson. Evansville returns 5 starters from a poor 10-19 team, one that won just 5 league games last year in the competitive MVC. We like a veteran team playing on the road vs a team that has the experience, but hasn't shown much ability to put this type of team away. The points are the way to go here.
