Southern Illinois at Bradley

It certainly has been a disappointing season for both Bradley and Southern Illinois as they enter this game each with a 6-12 record this season. Bradley opened the season with a schedule designed to start 4-0, which is what they did. But as the schedule began to be more competitive, they simply did not compete, going 2-12 since, and one of those two wins was vs. Texas Pan American who is 5-14 on the season. Southern Illinois is on a different path, and is showing signs of improvement as they are 4-4 in their last eight. The Salukis have struggled offensively in the fist half all season and especially on the road (31.0 average). Bradley's first-half offense has disappeared since the start of conference play. In their five conference games they are averaging just 26.8 points in the first-half. The good news for them is that on season, they have held opponents to only 28.2 in the first half. Since Geno Ford took over at Bradley, this team is 22-12 UNDER in the first-half following a loss. Take the first-half UNDER here.
