While I obviously feel that the outright win isn't out of the question between these very evenly matched teams, I will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can as I expect Eastern Illinois to at the very least, keep this one close enough to escape with the ATS victory. Evansville is coming off an 82-77 win over IPFW to advance to the second round of the CIT. There's some room to read between the lines in the Purple Aces win though as they'd see a 23 point second half lead dwindle down the stretch. Eastern Illinois on the other hand shot 55 percent from the floor on its way to a 97-91 victory over a tough Oakland team in its CIT opener on Tuesday; note that the Panthers were up just 42-41 at halftime, before then outscoring the competition 55-50 in the second half. Note that Evansville has struggled in this spot all year for bettors, a poor 9-10 ATS when playing the role of favourite and interestingly, only 3-4 ATS vs. poor offensive teams which average 64 point or less per contest. And note, this is a spot in which the Panthers have excelled in this season, 11-7 ATS as the underdog and 8-4 ATS in all non-conference games. Consider a second look at EASTERN ILLINOIS in this one.
