These two are only 48 miles apart and this is the 119th meeting. I believe that gives the edge to the dog as S Illinois has won by 12 and 19 points the L2Y. We will fade another double digit favorite that plays at the fifth slowest pace in CBB (#354) and does not shoot free throws well (#306). Redhawks beat Missouri St with all 5 starters in their opener but have not had all 5 starter in the same games until perhaps tonight! Take the dog in this rivalry.
