Western Illinois vs. South Dakota State

Premium Pick

South Dakota State has a 6-3 record coming into this contest, with two of the losses coming to top programs in West Virginia and St. Mary's. They have done a great job defending a tough schedule as opponents are shooting just 41% against them on the season, and 31% from beyond the arc. Western Illinois is shooting less than 40% from the field, and less than 30% from deep. The Leathernecks prefer a slow tempo and three of their last four opponents have taken 53 shots or fewer. South Dakota State has been under the 60-shot mark in seven of their nine games. I don't see Western Illinois contributing enough to push this one OVER the total, especially in a below-average paced contest. Make the play on the UNDER.
