It's the start of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament, and Indiana State faces a Southern Illinois offense that is eighth in the 12-team conference in scoring and shooting, plus 11th from the free-throw line (.677). The Saluki defense is fourth in field goal shooting allowed (.445), on on a 14-10 run UNDER the total. Tournament time often means intense defense with so much at stake, and this total is too high. Take Indiana State/Southern Illinois UNDER the total.
