Evansville Purple Aces vs Illinois State Redbirds. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Illinois State Redbirds. Evansville suffered on the road recently, dropping their past two road matches by an average of 27 points per game against Northern Iowa and Bradley, and it’s difficult to see Evansville having much success in this one against an Illinois State team that is 8-2 at home.

Illinois State can produce with the best of them, and I don’t believe Evansville will be able to keep up with them offensively in this one. I predict Illinois State wins by double figures and covers the spread. The Illinois State Redbirds will win to a predicted score of 76-68.
