Western Illinois at North Dakota State

There aren't a lot of things to impress you with the Western Illinois Leathernecks' offense. What is impressive is that this team came within a 2-point overtime loss of being in the NCAA Tournament a year ago, and didn't score more than 58 points in any of their three conference tournament games. They are a well-disciplined team that doesn't beat themselves, and challenges every possession on the defensive end. That keeps them in every game, as they have stayed within single digits of everyone since their opener. North Dakota State is a perfect 10-0 at home, but against teams over .600 they are just 3-8 ATS in their last 11, while Western Illinois is 10-2 ATS. vs. greater than .600 teams. Play is on W. Illinois.
