Southern Illinois at Northern Illinois

It has been a long time since this Northern Illinois team has tasted victory. They have taken the donut to open the season at 0-9, running their losing streak to 11 straight dating back to last season. They have just two players on their roster averaging over 5 points per game, so the prospects of winning going forward certainly aren't bright, especially when your third leading scorer is shooting 23%. Southern Illinois is down from what we have come to expect from this team, but they are surely the better team in this one. They have also been 5-1 ATS in their last six on the road vs. teams with a home winning percentage of less than .400. The Huskies have covered just one in their last nine as a home dog of less than +7. Play on Southern Illinois as my CBB Game of the Month.
