This is an interesting battle in Illinois tonight as mid-major rivals SIU Edwardsville will take on Southern Illinois at home. The Cougars are winless vs. Division-I opponents at 0-3 on the season, and have not been able to stretch defenses against them as they have knocked down less than 30% of their three-pointers to start the season. The Salukis have gotten back on track after a pair of losses, and come in on a two-game winning streak. They have a difference maker and closer on the court in Anthony Beane Jr. who is scoring 20.5 points per game on 55% shooting and knocking down threes at a 45.5% clip. I think that in a close game, having a closer like Beane that also converts 85.2% from the line, becomes the difference in this game. The Salukis are also getting it done on the road at 8-2 ATS in their last 10. Play on Southern Illinois in this one.
