Southern Indiana vs Evansville Prediction
In this Southern Indiana vs Evansville Prediction, Evansville is coming as -9.5 favorites and the game is being played in a neutral site. Both teams are coming off wins in their previous games, as Evansville won by double digits an inferior Kokomo team, while Southern Indiana also had an easy time against Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, winning by 70 points, but they did not look good in their season opener against better competition, as they lost by 54-72 in Belmont. The Screaming Eagles have not been shooting the ball well to start the season and were struggling against the spread last season with a 12-16 ATS record but Evansville was horrible away from its home court last season, with a 1-12 road record. I don’t like either team in this matchup and with both teams allowing just 127 points per game combined so far, I will go under 145.5 points in this one.
