Let me tip this thread off.
Central Michigan -8
This play is mainly against Northern Illinois. Last Saturday my son wanted to go to see NIU play at home. Well, I had the pleasure to witness an absolutely horrible team. NIU does not have a point guard and does not have a low post player. They shot 11-55, yep 20%, even worse from 3 (4-22), and 8-16 from the line (7 of 8 were made by one player, so 1 of 8 for the rest of the team). Don't be fooled, not all the shots were contested, there were many missed wide open shots. I would say 65-75% of their shots were from at least 15 feet or more. They are a perimeter shooting team. They shoot 36.5% from the floor!!!
They have holes in their defense too. A lot of back door cuts leading to lay ups and giving open shots that opponents sink. They give up 45% from the floor.
You want to see who they beat?:
Judson College (WTF, good luck finding them, NAIA school Division II that lost to IPFW 92-22), actually shot 44% from the field against NIU
SIU-Edwardsville (6-10 overall)
@ Miami of Ohio (guess they took them lightly!!!)
6 of their 8 road losses were by at least 10 points (UWMilwaukee in OT and DePaul).
NIU power ranking is #308
Central Michigan has had a few double digit home wins and are 4-1 ATS @ H
Central Michigan by 14+
