Northern Illinois at Ball State

A match-up of a couple four win teams with each thinking they can steal one here. The problem for Ball St. has been horrible shooting as they are just 38% on the season and 38.7% at home. N. Illinois shoots almost 10% higher at 46.5%. N. Illinois likes to slow things down as they take less than 53 shots a game and with limited possessions, and anemic shooting, laying 6 is a lot to ask. We will ride the dog in this one.
