DU beat WIU last month by 14, has been one of the more consistent shooting teams in all of NCAAB (ranking second in the Summit League with a 48.1 field-goal percentage, and 32nd in FG% in all of Division I). DU is out-rebounding its opponents by 4.8 a game, second in the Summit League. They are 4th in Summit league in defense. Yes I copy and pasted those stats from DU's website, but they are fighting for position (3rd now) in the conference playoffs. KENPOM ranks DU at 143.
WIU is last in the Summit league in FG% and while WIU plays decent D, but I don't think it's enough to hold off a DU season sweep tonight. KENPOM rates WIU at 302 in their rankings.
Good luck whatever you decide!
