Missouri State at Valparaiso

These are a couple of good mid-majors that are each having a horrible year. The Missouri St. Bears are 9-18 overall and 2-14 in Missouri Valley Conference play, sinking them into last place. Valparaiso is 11-16 overall and second last in conference play at 4-12. Both these teams are very close in most statistical comparisons, but Missouri St. has shot the ball better. I think Missouri has been the better team since their one-point home loss to Valparaiso back on New Year's Day. The Bears have failed to cover in just two of their last nine games, while Valpo has covered just once in their last seven times out. Make the play on Missouri St.
