Result: Win

*3 Star NCAA BB Totals Takedown* Bradley has sped up the tempo quite a bit this year. The Braves don't play much defense at all, and they aren't very efficient offensively, but they do put up a lot of shots. Southern Illinois started the season playing at a slow tempo, but a closer look at the team's last few games shows a change in strategy. The Salukis last 6 games have all finished above this posted total. Southern Illinois fouls about as much as anyone in basketball and that should help the over in this one. I think this one gets to 140. Take the over.
