In fact they might even get pasted. It's not that I don't think they are a good team - I think they are excellent. But they are not without flaws and a team can only skate on thin ice so many times before it finally bites them in the ass.
Multiple times this year the Shockers have fallen behind early, often by double digits. Indiana State is a quality team and if they jump out to an early lead, I fully expect them to maintain it. Obviously this is a huge game for both teams because there are conference standings implications for both but it's bigger for the Sycamores as not only do they have the opportunity to knock off the undefeated #4 team in the country, but a victory would also go a long way toward their tournament aspirations.
I love Indiana State here to pull off the upset. Even with the MVC down this year, this conference has notoriously been very competitive and the Sycamores are more than capable of winning this game with their balanced scoring attack.
Indiana State +4 -102 (8x); ML +170 (3x)
