Western Illinois Leathernecks vs DePaul Blue Demons. The NCAAB pick is the Western Illinois Leathernecks. It’s no doubt that the Demons are better than the Leathernecks but the team hasn’t had any action for a long time. They had a lot of their games canceled or suspended due to COVID-19 concerns which prevented them from shaking off the rust. The Leathernecks have the momentum after getting a big win over UT Martin. Western Illinois shot well in their last game and it will continue against the Demons.
