The Racers are shooting 47% from the field, but they have allowed 81+ points in three of their last four. Indiana State is just 3-11 in conference play and they have allowed 76+ points in four of their last five. I don’t trust either team on defense in this game, but Murray State is the much better offensive side. Take the Racers on the road.
