These programs both came into prominence with impressive NCAA Tournament runs, but they have also both struggled to regain the magic. The Salukis once dominant home court where they seldom lost, but have since become a non-factor as they are a dismal 1-7 here in their last eight. The Hilltoppers, after a pair of games with VCU, along with games vs. LSU, and Tulsa, have rebounded with two wins in their last three, losing only to unbeaten Murray State. This one looks like it is coming down to the wire and I like the points, especially on a Western Kentucky team that is 9-2 ATS vs. weak home teams that are under .400 on their own court. The Salukis once dominating home court has been reduced to 1-7 ATS in their last eight. Western Kentucky is the play in this one.
