"Friday's College Basketball Picks: Illinois Chicago-Jacksonville State Total and Best Bets"
The Jacksonville State Gamecocks will host the University of Illinois-Chicago Flames in a college basketball game. Jacksonville State's offense relies on second and third chances, while UIC's defense has been strong, but is expected to regress. Jacksonville State tends to have more offense at home, while UIC has better shooting percentages on the road. With UIC's 3-point defense due for regression, the game is expected to be higher scoring. The recommended pick is to bet on the over 128.5 total points.
