Pick
I’m leaning towards Indiana State here. Belmont won the first meeting this season, but the Sycamores have simply been on a tear coming into this game, covering in 10 of the last 11 games and the Sycamores almost had a prime tune-up against Evansville. It’s a quick turnaround but the Sycamores are good enough to get past it. Give me the Sycamores here.
