Missouri State at Bradley

The Braves opened the season with hope and promise off a 5-2 start that included a big win vs. Illinois, but have really fallen back to the level most expected, becoming a mediocre team. They are just 2-7 in their last nine games, and are really struggling on the defensive end as they have allowed 80+ in four of their last five. One team that can take advantage of those defensive shortcomings is Missouri State. The Bears can score, and have already been over the 70- point mark 13 times this season. The Braves simply lack the firepower to stay with this club. The Braves are really struggling vs. winning teams as they are just a lowly 5-17 ATS vs. a team with a winning record in their last 22. I'll go with Missouri State in this one.
