Missouri State at Arkansas State

The surprise team in the early going in the Missouri Valley Conference has been the play of Missouri State. The Bears expected to be in the middle of the pack, but have begun the season a perfect 8-0. They have played great team basketball, turning the ball over less than 12 times per game, and their top three scorers have all been terrific with each shooting over 50%. The Red Wolves have just two Div-1 wins, both vs. soft teams and will be over-matched in this contest as the Bears have responded to road favorite status by going 13-5 ATS in their last 18. If your looking for a home-court advantage here forget it. The Red Wolves are just 1-9 ATS in their last 10 at home. This one goes to Missouri State.
