NIGHT ADD ONS:
JACKSONVILLE ST. AT TENN. TECH
With Belmont's loss earlier today Tech's fate is in their own hands. If the win out they get the #1 seed in the OVC tournament. In their last game, a 30 point loss at Tenn. St., they laid their biggest clunker of the year. I look for them to come out strong and jump on the Gamecocks and build up a decent lead by half.
2* #710 TENN TECH -6 1/2 -115 (first half)
SIU-E AT E. ILLINOIS
EIU is in a fight with Murray for the top spot in the West. The winner of the West will get the #2 seed and a double bye into the Semi-Finals. Second place really doesn't matter as that team will most likely be in the play in game's on the first night of play. EIU won the first meeting at SIU-E 60-46. The opening line was EIU -8 1/2. I didn't care for that line but it has dropped to -6 1/2 now. Now I think it's worth buying the hook and making a play.
2* #706 E. ILLINOIS -6 -120
