Missouri State at Southern Illinois

The Missouri State bears are a talented yet puzzling team as they have actually played better on  the road where they are 7-4 on the season. That should  continue tonight vs. an 8-16 Southern Illinois team that is still searching for the right answers after a huge NCAA Tournament run a few years ago. Kyle Weems still spearheads the Bear's attack as he will likely finish the year having reached the 2,000 point mark in his career. That attack has been impressive enough to score in the 60s or better in all but one game this season and should be enough to lift this one OVER the total as well. The Salukis have done a good job managing tempo, but against more talented teams they have not been able to do so as the better teams have scored in the mid-70s or higher against them.  It has led to sic straight OVER when facing a team with a winning road record on the season while the last six in this series played here have all gone OVER the total as well. The Salukis have post win blue as they are a dreadful 6-19-1 ATS in their last 26 following a win. Play on Missouri State on the moneyline and the OVER in this one.
