Indiana State vs. Missouri State Prediction

I’m on Indiana State here. I just think that Indiana State’s percentages from a shooting perspective are a lot better than what Missouri State’s bringing to the table, and I just don’t think that Missouri State has the chops to hang with the Sycamores offensively for a full 40 minutes. Give me the Sycamores on the road.
