Missouri vs Southern Illinois-Edwardsville 11/15/22 College Basketball Picks, Predictions, Odds

The SIU-Edwardsville Cougars and the Missouri Tigers meet in college basketball action from the Mizzou Arena on Tuesday night.

The SIU-Edwardsville Cougars will look to rebound from an 81-76 loss to IPFW in their last game. Demarco Minor led the Cougars with 21 points on 9 of 14 shooting while Shamar Wright added 16 points with a team-high 8 rebounds and Raysean Taylor added 10 points on 4 of 9 shooting with 6 boards to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for the Cougars in the losing effort.

The Missouri Tigers will try to add to their 82-53 win over Lindenwood last time out. Noah Carter led the Tigers with 14 points on 6 of 9 shooting with 4 rebounds while Kobe Brown added 13 points with team-highs of 9 rebounds and 7 assists with 3 steals as well. DeAndre Gholston and Nick Honor each chipped in 11 points to cap off the scoring in double figures for Missouri in the win, with Honor logging 5 rebounds and 3 threes in the victory.

SIU-Edwardsville is 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a winning record and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a loss while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall. Missouri is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 home games against a team with a losing road record and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 games overall.

I get the case to be made either way here, but I’m on the over. Missouri is really talented and can flat out score, but there’s also no denying how well the Cougars have played in spots out of the gate. I’m not sure that SIUE challenges Missouri here, but I think this one could be a bit of a track meet so give me the over here.
