Southern Indiana vs Indiana State Prediction 

Indiana State comes into this matchup after losing two of their last three games, including a bad loss to Alcorn State. The Sycamores are shooting 45% from the field this year, but they have allowed 81 and 75 in their last two losses. Southern Indiana has lost three of their last four D1 games and they have allowed at least 84 points in all three of those losses. The Screaming Eagles are shooting just 41% from the field, which is nowhere near good enough to cover for that bad defense. Take Indiana State at home.
