Tennessee State Tigers vs Western Illinois Leathernecks prediction

The Western Illinois Leathernecks have not only been the better team this season, but they’re sitting on a 5-day rest, which can be key in these tournaments. The Tennessee State Tigers played last night against Southern Indiana, and they rolled with a tight rotation, with their starters logging heavy minutes. Quick turnaround and possible tired legs for Tennessee State. Western Illinois has proven it can win in any venue this season, and did beat Tennessee State on the road about three weeks ago. I’d need more points to get off the Leathernecks. I’ll lay the chalk.
