This is a pretty fishy line with how well the Cougars have started the season. Indiana State lost their first road game to the 49ers by 16-points. SIUE matched the pace with a faster Roadrunners team in their first road game now return home. Through two games, the Cougars have been the more consistent team from beyond the arc but have struggled from the free throw line. Indiana State does have a more experienced roster but they haven’t been as effective on the boards as in years past. SIUE have five players averaging more than double digit scorers along with a deep bench and four more players averaging just south of double digits on the season.
