The favorite is 5-1 ATS in these two teams last 6 head to head meetings.

These two teams come into this game with similar records, but Bradley has already won a conference game. Indiana State has played much lower competition in their last two games, while Bradley has at least been playing division one schools. Bradley should rely on their defense and rebounding in this game and I like them to win on the road.
