IUPUI vs. Milwaukee Prediction
I’m on IUPUI and the points here. I just think this is simply a case of laying too many points with Milwaukee. I think the Panthers are the far better team, but we’ve seen the Panthers all season long, allow lesser teams to hang around and keep games a lot tighter than they need to be. I think this is another instance of that so I’ll take a stab at IUPUI and the boatload of points in this one.
