The Eastern Illinois Panthers and Tennessee State Tigers meet Saturday in college basketball action at the Gentry Center.

The Eastern Illinois Panthers look to snap a four-game losing streak. The Eastern Illinois Panthers are averaging 72.8 points on 43.3 percent shooting and allowing 73.9 points on 45.1 percent shooting. Josiah Wallace is averaging 17.7 points and 2.7 assists while Marvin Johnson is averaging 10.6 points and 4.9 rebounds. Mack Smith is the third double-digit scorer and Sammy Friday IV is grabbing 4.9 rebounds. The Eastern Illinois Panthers are shooting 35.3 percent from beyond the arc and 69.1 percent from the free thitem line. The Eastern Illinois Panthers are allowing 39.7 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 31.9 rebounds per game.

The Tennessee State Tigers look to snap a four-game losing streak. The Tennessee State Tigers are averaging 68.4 points on 43 percent shooting and allowing 71.4 points on 42.2 percent shooting. Mark Freeman is averaging 13.9 points and 4.2 rebounds while Marcus Fitzgerald Jr. is averaging 11.3 points and 2.4 rebounds. Shakem Johnson is grabbing 5.2 rebounds and Ravel Moody is dishing 0.9 assists. The Tennessee State Tigers are shooting 26.9 percent from beyond the arc and 64.6 percent from the free thitem line. The Tennessee State Tigers are allowing 31.5 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 31.8 rebounds per game.

The Panthers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 Saturday games. The Tigers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games and 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games overall. The under is 5-1 in Panthers last 6 road games. The under is 21-6 in Tigers last 27 overall. The road team is 16-4-1 ATS in the last 21 meetings. The underdog is 11-4 ATS in the last 15 meetings.

I’m not eager to back either of these teams with the losing streaks starting to pile up, so this is a spot where I usually grab the points and run if forced to pick. The Tennessee State Tigers have had covering success at home this season and do have an edge on the defensive side. The Eastern Illinois Panthers have covered just one of their last 11 games. If forced to pick this game, give me Tennessee State and the free bucket.
