Missouri State vs Indiana State 2pm
Matt Fargo Sports Pick - This is a play on the MISSOURI ST. BEARS for our Sunday Play. Indiana St. blew a big chance to lock up one of the top four seeds in the upcoming MVC Tournament as it lost at Belmont on Wednesday after blowing a 17-point lead and that gave the Bruins the tiebreaker should both teams win today and with Belmont playing struggling Northern Iowa, that should be a victory.
The Sycamores are overpriced here as they are just two games better than Missouri St. but are laying a huge number based on the fact they are on a 9-0 ATS run. They are 11-3 at home which is a big edge to win but not necessarily to cover. Missouri St. is coming off a big home win over Murray St. to move to 11-8 in the MVC and will be either a No. 6 or No. 7 seed in the upcoming conference tournament which starts Thursday and heading into that with some momentum would be big.
The Bears are 4-8 on the road which includes a 4-5 record in the conference with one loss in overtime and another loss by three points and it also includes a huge victory at Drake. They won the first meeting at home so there is revenge on the table for Indiana St. but again, the price is too big in this spot. Play (817) Missouri St. Bears.
