Texas State vs Bradley Prediction
The Bradley Braves are the more talented team and if this offensive performances continue they’ll have no trouble getting the job done. The problem is the Texas State Bobcats are getting after it defensively and this is a neutral site game which usually throws teams out of rhythm. Neither side is used to this gym, and it often results in low-scoring, ugly games. Texas State can hang around with its defense. Give me the Bobcats and the points.
