Tennessee State at Eastern Illinois

It wasn't all that long ago that the Tennessee State program was in shambles. They have never put out a great team, but have had their moments, and it looks like they have assembled as much talent and experience as they have since their 20 win season back in 2011. The Tigers are off to a robust 10-4 start on the season, and their most recent loss was just a five-point setback at Tennessee. Eastern Illinois has struggled all season long at a woeful 4-10. This is a team shooting just 42.7% on the season, and they have lost a lot of points at the not so charity stripe, connecting on just 62.5% of their free throws, and have been pounded on the glass to a -7 rebound margin per contest. Tennessee State has been vested on the defensive end, limiting their 14 opponents to under 40% shooting on the season. Make the play on Tennessee State.
