SIUE is now 5-1 (with the one loss being to Dayton) when holding opponents to a sub 50% eFG. It’s their defense that will make or break this team. And if they can build on today’s performance, they’re a team that can compete for the OVC title.

A pretty uneventful Tuesday for OVC basketball with all 3 games expected to be chalk. However, I’ve found some info that’s led to a shocking pick. You won’t want to miss my deep dive in to the MSU vs. WVU game. Plus TWO Gambling Play’s of the day

Likely dropping SEMO down a Tier in the next power rankings… This team looks lost on both sides of the ball right now and missing the “go-to” guy, which may be Dylan Branson who’s out for at least another couple of weeks. SEMO should have never been favored. Our first play
What to watch for tonight:
- Tennessee State faces their first D-I opponent of the season against Portland. Portland brings good size and experience in to this matchup. What tell expect from TSU?… TBD. Their matchups against D-II opponents mean little to nothing, but Hodges and

Swope averaged 15.6 points, 3.5 assists, shot 46% from the field and 42.3% from 3… Top 10 in the OVC for all. One of the biggest OVC departures this far.

Another solid night. If you watched any of the games tonight, please retweet my analysis as I don’t know if I could’ve predicted any of these games more spot on…
Picks go 4-1
Gambles go 2-1

Games like this are why you follow me and why I love doing what I do.
I couldn’t have predicted this one any better. EIU loses by 8 to the
#5
team in the country.
Congrats to all that saw this prior to the game, I realize that it didn’t show on many Twitter/X feeds.
@eiubasketball
vs. Kansas (-39)
What to Watch For: Don’t get me wrong, I don’t expect EIU to give Kansas a real scare - but if Kansas’ lead gets to 40 points, it’ll be late in the game. Eastern allows the 40th fewest points from 2-point range in the country… and that’s Kansas’

Unfortunately I have to apologize. My trip to Colorado has taken priority this week. In my absence, let’s hear YOUR thoughts and predictions. Who’s out? Who’s going to win? Who should be on upset alert? This will more than likely be the case Saturday as well

The upcoming HS Senior led his Warren County HS basketball team to a 37-1 record and a KY State Championship last season. Unseld averaged 20 points, 73% from the field, and 6 assists per game in the 2022-2023 season - all most on the team. He has also been offered from fellow OVC
Extremely blessed to receive an offer from the University of Southern Indiana.

Juuust missed this one. USI shot 25-47 from 2 point range, but SEMO’s 8 threes to their 5 proves to be the difference. A fun game to watch nonetheless
Game 1:

Both teams are hoping that this game can be a "get right" game as Southern Indiana is still looking for their first Division-1 win of the season and SEMO comes in to tonight with an average losing deficit of 21 points per game. If
