What to Know

The Western Illinois Leathernecks haven't won a game against the Eastern Illinois Panthers since Nov. 15 of 2017, but they'll be looking to end the drought Saturday. They will face off against one another at 3 p.m. ET at Western Hall. The Leathernecks are out to keep their five-game home win streak alive.

WIU took their matchup against the Central Michigan Chippewas last week by a conclusive 97-70 score.

Meanwhile, EIU lost to the Butler Bulldogs on the road by a decisive 66-54 margin.

WIU is the favorite in this one, with an expected 19.5-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a four-game streak of ATS wins.

WIU is now 8-2 while EIU sits at 2-9. A pair of offensive stats to keep an eye on: The Leathernecks enter the contest with 83 points per game on average, good for 18th best in college basketball. On the other end of the spectrum, the Panthers are 350th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 57.7 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against EIU.
