I know Tech sucks at bball, but Indiana State has some pretty unimpressive wins. One point win over a 2-3 Green Bay team at home?

I just feel like in this situation Billy Gillespie is a good enough coach to make me pick this

I was at that game. State would pull up 10 and the refs would bail out Green Bay with a few fouls and wouldn't let it get out of reach. Ball State ISU didn't play well vs. Ball State. Yet Ball State gave Arizona a run for their money. Ind St held Ball State's Jones to a few points. Jones is a great mid major player and a NBA prospect.

Ok thanks. Do you think i should stay away? Am very knowledgable about big 6 conference men's bball and some more high profile mid majors like Horizon, A-10, etc...however don't know much about Indiana State or the valley outside of like Wichita State, UNI, etc...

I'm guessing you're a fan, but do you think Tech and the points is a good pick?

I'm am taking State. They will play fearless. Jake Odum will make the TTU guards look stupid. The valley is probably the best mid major conference this year (excluding A-10). Depending on the Valley tournament they could be a three bid conference with Ind State, Wichita State, and Creighton.

Creighton looks good. Like Wichita too, Tour'e Murry is beast.

You may have swayed me...I'll probably just put like $5 on Tech hah.

If the line gets to +6 or more you might want to take the points. If the line is +5-+5.5 probably would step off. Below that take ISU.
