This will be Tenn. St. third road game in five days. They couldn't have had much time to prepare for this game. If E. Ill. is patient on offense, which I believe they will be, Josh Gomes should get a lot of open looks and he's one of the best shooters in the conference. E. Ill. has played good perimiter defense so far this year only allowing opponents to shoot .280 from three. Don't be fooled by the final score in Tenn. St. game at Ga. Tech. on Sat. Ga. Tech. could have won by 30 if they had wanted to. I have two concerns for Eastern in this game. They must block out and stay close to Tenn. St. in rebounds and they must be able to handle Tenn. St. press and not turn the ball over. I'll take the home dog in conference play against a team playing three road games in five days.
EASTERN ILLINOIS +2
