Western Illinois comes into this game at 8-5 on the season, but that is quite misleading. They own wins vs the likes of Iowa Weslayan and Eureka. They faced South Dakota just 2 days ago on the road and lost by 7 as they were held to 38% shooting. Western Illinois is not a strong candidate for a road win here as the Leathernecks do not defend well at all. Western Illinois has allowed opponents to shoot 47% or better in 8 games already, including S. Dakota 2 days ago. They were also crushed off the glass 36-28. I don't see that anything has changed, and I like South Dakota on the money line.
