T.M. Selection: Southern Illinois/OK ST OVER

I am on the OVER in the Southern Illinois Salukis vs Oklahoma State Cowboys game on Thursday. While both teams were able to win their opening games pretty comfortably, I believe that both teams will have early and often success scoring in this game. Southern Illinois was able to put up 94 points in their game on Monday. Although they scored that many points, they spread the scoring around and didn't have a really main bucket getter. That should cause some troubles for the Cowboys defense that gave up 44 points in the 2nd half to a Texas Arlington team that isn't the greatest. However, OK ST comes into this game as nearly a double digit favorite and I expect guard Bryce Thompson to lead the Cowboys to a 2-0 start. Expect lots of points here.

T.M. Prediction: 79-68 OK ST
