playing on the road in the valley is always tough. I couldn't back this Illinois St team on the road laying a few buckets though. their offense has taken a dramatic decrease since conference play started. the only plus I see is that Ill St has reeled off 3 in a row and might be on the right track.
but, backed into a corner I'd back Bradley. they are coming back home after getting a thorough ass whooping @ Wichita St.
and to demonstrate how drastic home court can be in the Valley, at home Bradley played Wichita to the wire and lost by 6......on the road they were blown out by 34! last year, Bradleys 7 win team went on the road and lost to Illinois St by 30, but played them a few weeks later at home and lost by 1.
Egolf playing for Bradley would be a big bonus for them. Although he might get limited minutes, he is a 6'9 6th year senior that can contribute on both ends, especially a body to put on Carmichael in the post.
ill be trying to find out what the word is on Egolf before I make a play, but I may lay off this one.
