UIC vs Bradley Prediction

The Bradley Braves are the class of the MVC and should have their eyes on an NCAA Tournament berth in a couple of months. Above average, at both ends of the floor, Bradley could blow the doors off of UIC. However, UIC can score the basketball, as the Flames are top-60 in points per game and offensive field goal percentage. UIC also took Bradley down to the wire a couple of weeks ago, losing by just one point. The UIC Flames are also 13-5 ATS on the season, which makes them one of the best cover teams in college basketball, with a cover percentage of 72.2 percent. The underdog has covered seven of the last 10 games between UIC and Bradley. I’ll grab the points with UIC on the road.
