I think the Illinois St. Redbirds have a misleading record. This team got hot over a seven game stretch and went 6-1 SU. The bad news is they are 4-7 in their other 11 games, including 0-3 SU in their last three contests. They are going from being a +10.5 point dog to a -10.5 point favorite over a 7-11 Missouri St. team.  Missouri St. will lean heavily upon their top 3 scorers, White, Brady, and Bonsu. These are the top 3 scorers with a combined usage rate of 49.5%. That will rise to 60% today, making them a better team. Make the play on Missouri St.

This looks like it could be a competitive game with Missouri St. at 15-14 on the season, and the host team, Illinois St. at 14-15. These teams have been trending opposite as Missouri St. has struggled in their last six games going 1-5 SU/ATS.
