Result: Loss
I'm playing on EASTERN ILLINOIS. The last meeting between these teams saw Eastern Illinois win by a score of 70-52. I'm expecting another double-digit win for the Panthers this evening. While they may be improved from last year, the Cougars are still short on talent. It certainly doesn't help the Cougars that they had a string of nine consecutive games postponed. They're finally back on the court but haven't had a chance to properly gel. Last time out, they got destroyed 114-62. This one's a makeup game and marks the start of six games in 12 days for the Panthers. That's a tough stretch and they know they need to take advantage of this winnable game, to snap their current skid, while they have the opportunity. Expect the Panthers to do exactly that, picking up the cover along the way.
