The Belmont basketball program has always been strong and this year they look like one of those teams that can go to the NCAA Tournament and surprise a few teams. The Bruins are off to a 14-1 start. The Bruins are on an 11-game winning streak. This is the highest total they will play to since their December 5 loss to Samford, and I think the recent over tendency is impacting the total here. Eastern Illinois has lost their best player in Josiah Wallace, as he is out with a hamstring injury, so the points for the Panthers are going to be reduced, and I would expect them to try and slow this game down. Spoonhour's teams tend to do that anyway, as he is 41-29 to the UNDER when getting points. Make the play on the UNDER.
