Evansville comes into this game on a five game losing streak and only won one conference game all season. Indiana State went 13-7 in the MVC, but they finished the season losing their last two games. Indiana State has an offense that is scoring 78.7 points per game and will face an Evansville defense that is allowing 75.3 points against per game. I like Indiana State to roll in this one.
