Longwood at Northern Illinois

Northern Illinois is expecting to have its best season in years with three returning starters from a 17-17 season. They come off a 96-48 blowout of small-school Rockford with Eugene German scoring 21 points. German is considered to be a player-of-the-year candidate in the Mid-American Conference. Longwood finished 16-18 last year and depends on the 3-point shot, and the Lancers have four wins this season versus weak competition and lost 76-65 at George Mason, their only somewhat tough opponent, as a 10-point underdog. Dating to last season, Longwood is 2-6 ATS its last eight games following a win, and Northern Illinois is 18-5 ATS after scoring at least 90 points its previous game.  Lay the points with Northern Illinois.
