Southern Illinois will take on UNLV at the So. Cal Classic. Both teams have started strong with Southern Illinois at 3-1 with a big win over Oklahoma St. and UNLV at 4-0. The secret to Southern Illinois has been a slow pace and good defense. They held Oklahoma St. to just 57 shots and 42% from the floor, and 60 total points. That has been their recipe all season and should be the strategy vs 4-0 UNLV. UNLV in their first 3 games averaged just 51.7 shots per game, and I look for that number to be obtained or lower tonight. The early season new venus often takes time for shooters to get used to the shooting background and leads to slow scoring starts. Make the play on the Under.

Pro Picks
Southern Illinois at UNLV
Southern Illinois has had a tough schedule, but has a winning record overall, winning five of the last eight. They covered as a double-digit dog at Minnesota. The Salukis are 17-7-1 ATS following a straight up win and face a rebuilding UNLV squad that has holes everywhere, dropping three of the last four badly. Southern Illinois is 21-7 straight up all-time against the current members of the Mountain West Conference and matches up well with the host tonight. Play Southern Illinois.
