Trends
Southern Indiana is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss while the over is 9-2 in their last 11 games overall. Tennessee State is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games while the over is 9-3 in their last 12 home games.
Pick
I’m sticking with Tennessee State. Southern Indiana’s done a great job in their first D-I season, but the problem here is that Tennessee State has done a great job this season, especially at home where they’re 13-3 at this season and they’ve won their last four home games all by double-digits and a win here is important considering that if Tennessee State gets the #2 seed, they get a double-bye into the semi-finals, but if they somehow end up in 5th, they have to play a first-round game. I think you see a concerted effort from the Eagles here, so give me Tennessee State laying the points.
