Tennessee St. brings a 10-13 record into this game at home vs. the 8-15 Western Illinois Leathernecks. The Leathernecks have not played well of late as they are just 2-10 in Ohio Valley Conference play and have dropped their last eight games. Despite the ugly record and stats, Western Illinois has only been out-scored by opponents by 3 PPG. The Lethernecks can get hot from 3-point range where they are 36% on the season and knock down eight a contest. This is going to be a low possession game, where getting margin is not easy, especially for a Tennessee St. team converting just 31% from deep. Western Illinois has seen three of their last eight losses come by four or fewer points and I like them to hang inside the number here. Make the play on Western Illinois.
