We’re getting a bargain price at press time with Illinois State (6-7 SU, 5-7 ATS) as 3.5-point underdogs at PointsBet, but they’re still worth a spin if you can only get them at +2. The Redbirds are No. 191 on Ken Pomeroy’s efficiency charts, and they have one specific superpower: free throws, where they rank sixth nationally at 80.0% from the line.
UIC (8-5 SU, 9-3 ATS) have done very well against the spread thus far, but the Flames are just No. 287 on the Pomeroy charts, as they struggle through Year Three of their slow rebuild under head coach Luke Yaklich.
