Southern Illinois Salukis vs Indiana State Sycamores. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Southern Illinois Salukis. Southern Illinois struggled on the road this year, going 3-7 overall, but this is a club that did a good job of keeping opponents off the scoreboard, as the Salukis are rated 13th in scoring defense heading into this game.

Indiana State played well at home, but they lost five of their previous seven games, including a terrible 65-56 home defeat to Evansville.

Indiana State is below average on both ends of the court (173rd in scoring offense; 236th in scoring defense), and with Southern Illinois’ prior ATS success in this game, I believe the option is to take Southern Illinois to cover this tiny road spread. The Southern Illinois Salukis will win to a predicted score of 66-63.
