Lamar at Indiana State

Indiana State got smashed last night by Louisville, 83-43. As a result they are getting 5 here in a game that should be closer to a toss-up. Yes, they are winless on the season, but the Louisville game was not a good barometer. They were simply way out classed in that game. In their other five games, the Sycamores have lost by 7, 11, 6, 5 and 2 points. They can keep this one close, and maybe even win. They were embarrassed last night and I expect them to come out and play very hard to atone for that. Meanwhile, Lamar may be a bit overconfident, given their 6-1 record, playing an 0-6 team off a 40-point loss.
