At 1st blush I was with the entire world and thinking Charleston -2.5 which now sits at 3.5 was the correct side!!!
But after more careful consideration I like Southern Illinois to not only cover but win the game by a comfortable margin!! It all evolves around Mack!! He’s a good coach but he plays a very intricate half court system! This is game 1 I can’t back a team learning a new playbook!! Southern Illinois has a new coach to but Nagy’s system is a lot simpler to grasp attack the basket early and often!! If Brzovic gets into foul trouble then the game imo swings drastically in the favor of Southern Illinois!!
Southern Illinois ml
Southern Illinois/Charleston over 145.5
Total is extremely sharp because oddsmakers are giving us last year’s Charleston not this years imo but still think it’s a tad low

Southern Illinois is taking in 48 % of the bets ... opened at -1 which i have .. moneyline -128 and -2.5... up to 3.5 now.. if we were talking like 80 percent of bets on COFC then yea I'd normally agree.. Siu returns almost no production ... and the quality of transfers i am very familiar with that saluki team .. I just think it's a case where mack recruited these guys for his system... and he has a much more talented roster.. COFC expected to win the conference again and salukis expected to finish near the bottom again..
Anything can happen we shall see.

I am seeing Charleston at -3.5 not Southern Illinois and granted Mack might have recruited guys who knows his system! But this is game 1 with a new coach! I don’t worry about expectations until they start league play! In these non conference games it doesn’t really matter:(
