Anybody have anything on this game? Its on ESPN2 tommorow night. I know SIU is known for defense, but they gave up an awful lot of points against UMass, I think their defense is a fraud this year. Laugh at me if you want, but I think they're light years behind where they normally are at this time of the year. Duke should be able to score on them and I doubt SIU can keep up. Duke seems like the play to me
If this was the SIU of the last 2 years, I would take it easy. But as you stated, they lost that D, in players, and a new system they are trying to run. Without that D, don't know if they can hang with Duke, or would I not try to bet with it.
It's alot of points though, but they have been giving up tons of points for what we are used to seeing SIU giving up with.
