Missouri State at Illinois State

Missouri State has lost three of its last four following Saturday's 62-58 defeat at Loyola Chicago when it shot only six free throws compared to 26 for the Ramblers. The Bears are 9-23-1 ATS their last 33 games following a loss and Illinois State has won its last four home games, including 76-70 over Northern Iowa as a 5.5-point underdog last Tuesday. The Redbirds won the last meeting 65-57 and it has covered the spread the last four meetings with the Bears. The Redbirds are led by Zach Copeland, who averages 14.6 points. Missouri State was picked to win the Missouri Valley Conference, but the Bears have disappointed so far with a 7-8 record while winning only one game away from home. Take Illinois State.
