Southern Indiana vs IUPUI Key Stats
The Eagles are 3-2 in their last five games but have only managed to cover the spread in one of those contests. In their most recent win against St. Mary's, Jelani Simmons scored 18 points and grabbed three rebounds, while Jeremiah Hernandez scored 11 points as the rest of the unit also stepped up on occasion.
The Eagles are averaging 76.6 points per game on 46% shooting while giving up 69.3 points on 41.9% shooting. They are shooting 40.8% from beyond the arc, which places them 11th in the country, and they are restricting their opponents to 30.1% from the three-point line and only giving up 29.4 rebounds per game.
The Jaguars are 1-4 for the season and have covered the spread in only one of those contests. In their most recent loss against the Panthers, Vincent Brady II scored 16 points and grabbed five rebounds, while Chris Osten scored 15 points and grabbed five rebounds, as the rest of the unit struggled to support the two top scorers in the game.
The Jaguars are averaging 60.1 points on 43% shooting while giving up 72.1 points on 47.2% shooting. They are shooting just 26.3% from the three-point line and 66.2% from the free-throw line. If the offense has been a letdown for them this season, then the defense has been even worse. They have failed to guard their opponents and stop them from scoring freely, which has resulted in such a poor record this season.
Southern Indiana vs IUPUI Betting Prediction
Given the Jaguars' recent form and shaky defense, this game should be a complete blowout, with the Eagles looking to dominate their opponents in the final third of the game and score enough to rile up the crowd and cover the spread today with ease.
Pick: Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles -17.5 (-110)
