Indiana State (1-6) @ Wichita State (6-1)
Bradley (3-4) @ Missouri State (4-3)
Evansville (1-6) @ Loyola (3-4)
Northern Iowa (2-5) @ Southern Illinois (4-3)
Drake (4-3) @ Illinois State (7-0)
My picks:
Wichita - Shockers should have no problem here. Might have more points in the paint than Indiana State has points. Wichita by 20.
Missouri State - Bradley was really bad last night... and leaving Peoria and heading to play a very solid Missouri State team could be a disaster. Missouri State by 15.
Loyola - Aces only have a couple of ways to score, and Loyola plays decent enough at home to get the job done. Ramblers by 6.
Southern Illinois - I don't think UNI is back yet. They'll struggle on the road in what's probably the best matchup of the day. Give me the Salukis by 3.
Illinois State - Drake's 4 wins in Valley play have all come at home, and they've lost by 14, 25, and 19 on the road. I don't see the trend ending anytime soon. Birds play very well at home. Birds by 16.
