The Indiana State Sycamores have been the better team this season, they’re playing the better basketball and they’re 5-3-1 against the spread on the road. The Valparaiso Crusaders have lost seven of their last 10 games and they lose by an average of 7.3 points in the underdog role. Valparaiso only wins at home by an average of 1.7 points. I’ll lay the small chalk with Indiana State on the road, but it’s more of a fade from Valparaiso than anything else.
