Eastern Michigan was embarrassed by Buffalo earlier this year 90-66. This is Buffalo's only conference win. EMich is 10-3 at home while buffalo is 0-12 on the road!!! I look for EMich to get revenge on a very poor road team by a large number. To make matters worse for Buffalo, EMich is coming off a BIG let down effort that resulted in a loss to CMich. They are 2-0 ATS as home favorites while Buffalo is 3-7-1 ATS as road dogs. Prillman, Austin, Ross and Pettyjohn will open it up in a 20+ point advantage tonight!
So. Illini is rolling with some confidence after beating Creighton this weekend for their 4 win in a row. This team is playing the best ball its played all year and I think they run right over Illini St tonight in their quest to get back to the Big Dance. Southern has been taking care of the ball and spreading the scoring around with 4 players in double digit scoring. Kent Williams is a great shooter. Illinois State will surely try to launch from beyond the ark several times tonight but their efforts won't be enough as the Salukis will run away with this one with their balanced scoring attack and disciplined ball control! Salukis by 20+!!!!
I was leaning towards Wichita St. as that is a lot of points to give a pretty feisty team. I liked GTown and Texas Tech but with my new strategy of playing less games I feel the two games I am going with give me the best value!
