The Northern Illinois Huskies and the Eastern Illinois Panthers meet in college basketball action from the Lantz Arena on Wednesday night.

The Northern Illinois Huskies will look to rebound from an 83-76 loss to Northern Iowa last time out. Keshawn Williams leads the Huskies in scoring with 18.6 PPG along with 3.7 RPG and 2.9 APG while David Colt has 14.6 PPG and Zarique Nutter has 12.7 PPG and a team-high 6.5 RPG to lead the Huskies on the glass up to this point in the year and to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Northern Illinois so far this season. As a team, Northern Illinois is averaging 69.7 PPG on 42.9% shooting from the field, 31.9% from three and 65.7% from the foul line this season.

The Eastern Illinois Panthers will try to bounce back from a 67-58 loss to Alabama State last time out. Kinyon Hodges leads the Panthers in scoring and rebounding with 11.1 PPG and 4.7 RPG while Yaakema Rose Jr. has 10.7 PPG and 4.4 RPG as the only other double-digit scorer for EIU up to this point in the season. Both Hodges and Rose Jr. eac have a team-high 2.3 APG to lead the Panthers in assists. As a team, Eastern Illinois is averaging 62.3 PPG on 36.6% shooting from the field, 27.9% from three and 61% from the foul line this season.

Northern Illinois is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record and 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400 while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games following an ATS win. Eastern Illinois is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS loss and 7-19 in their last 26 home games while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record.

I’m honestly not looking to back either of these teams if I can help it, and that’s why I’m on the under in this one. This game honestly feels like the first to 60 will win this game if we even get that high. I’m siding with the under in this slop fest.
