Meanwhile, the Aces are 1-4 ATS in the last five road games and 1-4 ATS in the last five Tuesday games. Evansville is 9-20-3 ATS in their last 32 after an ATS loss.
PICK: I’m going to stay with Indiana State. There’s not a whole lot to like here, though; both teams have struggled mightily over their last several games. In any case, the Sycamores have had a few rough scoring outings lately but should match up well here. Evansville has given up 72 or more points in five of their last seven games. It may not be pretty, but Indiana State should have the advantage on a cover in this one.
