The Evansville Purple Aces are just a bad basketball team and can’t be trusted in their current form, especially on the road, where they lose by an average of 11.8 points. The Ball State Cardinals are playing decent ball at the moment, and they’ve absolutely blown the doors off opponents in their few home games this season. I have no choice but to lay the chalk with Ball State.
