Pick

I’m leaning towards Indiana State here. The Sycamores have looked really good offensively so far in the tournament, and while the performance against Evansville was to be expected, the performance against Belmont was rock solid. I’m still a bit hesitant to back Bradley away from home, and the game against Northern Iowa was a lot closer than it needed to be. Give me the Sycamores and the points here.
