Point Spread Pick for Coastal Carolina vs. Illinois State
- Coastal Carolina Chanticleers to cover (4 Units)
The Chanticleers have the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 74 points per game in their last three games while making 41 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 73 percent of their free throws on the road while the Redbirds make less than 55 percent of their free throws at home. They rebound the ball well and grab more than nine offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They also don’t turn the ball over much and won’t give up a lot of easy-scoring opportunities. The Redbirds aren’t very good defensively, and gave up at least 80 points in two of their last three games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Chanticleers. Take Coastal Carolina to cover the spread.
