These are a couple of good mid-majors that are each having a horrible year. The Missouri St. Bears are 9-18 overall and 2-14 in Missouri Valley Conference play, sinking them into last place. Valparaiso is 11-16 overall and second last in conference play at 4-12. Both these teams are very close in most statistical comparisons, but Missouri St. has shot the ball better. I think Missouri has been the better team since their one-point home loss to Valparaiso back on New Year's Day. The Bears have failed to cover in just two of their last nine games, while Valpo has covered just once in their last seven times out. Make the play on Missouri St.

Premium Pick

Missouri State has beaten Valparaiso nine times in a row and the Beacons have lost 10 of their past 11 road games, including 81-75 in overtime against Bradley on Sunday night. Valparaiso shot only 34 percent and it shoots 44.4 percent on the season. Missouri State has won six of seven home games and five of six when playing at home against the Beacons. The Bears had won two straight before losing an ugly game against Evansville when they shot just 25.9 percent after shooting 50 percent their previous two games. Look for the Bears to bounce back from that performance and take Missouri State on the moneyline.
