(NCAAB) Illinois State vs. Northern Iowa,
Point Spread: 7.00 | -107.00 Illinois State (Away)
Result: Loss
I like Underdog Illinois St tonight plus the points as they take on a team who is 22-2 and that is only favored by 7.5 points. Vegas is begging you to take the favorite in this one. This team is not only 22-2 but is 11-1 in conference play with their sole loss coming on the road at Evansville in their first conference game of the year and since then this team has reeled off 11 straight victories. Illinois State is 7-5 in conference play and this is a team that just had a terrible effort against Southern Illinois losing 65-59 to a team outside the top 200 and that has to irk a coach who is ranked in the top 75 after reeling off 3 straight wins. This team was looking ahead to their matchup with the league leading Northern Iowa and they fell short in their last game and will come out with a great deal of effort off of that loss, with revenge and I'll taking the points and expecting a very close game.
