#829/830 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Over 140.5 Points – Indiana State @ Illinois State, Sunday at 4 PM ET - These 2 played yesterday with Indiana State winning 73-65 for a total score of 138. They reached that number despite both shooting poorly (40.8% combined overall) and neither hitting 30% from the 3-point line. Both are solid 3-point shooting teams hitting 35% & 38% on the season so we expect a much better effort on the offensive end on Sunday. Both underachieved as well on a points per possession basis with the Sycamores putting up 1.00 PPP and the Redbirds 0.89 PPP, both below their season averages. Neither team is good defensively 273rd and 277th nationally in eFG% defense. Illinois State has allowed at least 70 points in 8 of their 11 games on the season and Indiana State has given up at least 70 in 7 of their 12 games. Their overall offensive numbers in league don’t look great with Indiana State averaging 67 PPG in league play and Illinois State averaging 61 PPG, however of their 12 combined games in the MVC this season, 8 of them have come against the 3 top defensive teams in the league (Loyola, Drake, and Mizzou St). Both like to play fast and it took a half for each offense to get comfortable with the opposing defense yesterday. After scoring just 57 combined points in the first half they put up 81 in the 2nd. We say they pick up where they left off on Saturday and this goes over the total (currently set at 141).
