Today's Last Bet: Northern Iowa -1.5 @ Illinois State
Down to 4 games in the regular season before Arch Madness in St. Louis, crazy. Northern Iowa is currently in a 3-way for 4th at 9-7, Top 4 get the first-round bye so a 3-1 finish at minimum is critical for the Panthers. Illinois State is currently tied for 8th at 7-9 in the Valley. Both teams have won 2 straight, Illinois State had the big road win @ Indiana State last week. Redbirds have the 48th best home court edge but have lost 6 games at home this year. Norfolk State, Southern Illinois, Valparaiso, Drake, Bradley, and Illinois Chicago have all managed to beat them at CEFCU Arena. Northern Iowa is 5-7 on the road this year, wins over Northern Illinois, Missouri State, Murray State, Belmont, and Valparaiso. Panthers have the edge in both offensive and defensive efficiency. Top 100 Wins: UNI 3 (Stanford, Richmond, Bradley), Illinois State 1 (Indiana State). Only meeting of the season between the schools, I think Ben Jacobson and the Panthers get it done tonight on the road.
