Evansville Aces vs. Western Kentucky Hilltoppers Prediction

I’m on WKU in this game. I just think the Hilltoppers are the better team by a fair margin in this game and I’m worrying that Evansville is the same team that we’ve seen take residence at the bottom of the MVC standings for the better part of the last decade. WKU is a quality team that has solid scoring and I think they pull away and win this one big. Give me the Hilltoppers.
