Evansville Aces at Illinois State (Sat, Jan 7th)

Birds will be predicted to win this match. Should be a dogfight to the end. Since we have lost 4 one possession games, the Basketball Gods will be wearing Purple on Saturday. Aces by 2-3 points.

I think the sense of urgency will be placed on us (redbirds) in this one. After the home game vs. Evansville, we got @WSU, vs. CU and @ DU. We could very easily fall behind in that stretch so this is almost a must win for us.

Illinois State opens as a 6.5point favorite. It's now gone to 7 points :huh:
