NCAAB Best Bet - Missouri State Bears -4.5
(NCAAB) Sycamores (INST) vs. Bears (MOSU),
Point Spread: -4.50 | -110.00 Bears (MOSU) (Home)
Result: Loss
This isn't the Indiana State team you saw run to the NIT title game last season. Robbie Avila and company bolted to Saint Louis when Josh Schertz took the Billikens job. As a result, the Sycamores are just 5-4 but they don't have a win ranked higher than 282nd in the KenPom rankings this season. Missouri State can score a ton of points and they are a dangerous perimeter shooting squad that can punish teams. The Bears are 3-0 at home and pushed Boston College to overtime on a neutral floor. Meanwhile, Indiana State beat Ball State on the road but lost to Southern Indiana. The Sycamores are 332nd in the nation in turnover percentage, which will set the Bears up with some easy buckets. Take Missouri State at home here.
