Online basketball betting odds on Southern Illinois are likely to be higher this season since the team loses both Jamaal Tatum and Tony Young from last year’s team.
Tatum hit nearly 41 percent of his shots from long range and led the team with 15.2 points per game while Young added 9.9 points per game according to basketball betting Southern Illinois Salukis stats. The Salukis may not drop too far though since the program now reloads instead of rebuilds.
Online basketball betting experts see that Christian Cornelius may be one of the players that steps up and helps replace Tatum and Young. Other newcomers include guard Brandon Wood and Carlton Fay. Fay is being groomed to start next year according to online basketball betting experts. Nick Evans may also have the potential to get playing time. The new leaders of the Southern Illinois Salukis team according to online basketball betting experts are Randal Falker and Matt Shaw. The dynamic duo averaged 23.6 points and 13.4 rebounds last year according to online basketball betting stats. The offense will run through Falker according to online basketball betting experts. Depth up front will come from Tony Boyle and Jordan Armstrong according to basketball betting experts.
The backcourt is led by point guard Bryan Mullins who has started in the past according to online basketball betting experts. Mullins averaged 6.3 points and 3.5 assists last year according to online basketball betting stats. Wesley Clemmons, Joshua Bone and Tyrone Green should also get playing time. Clemmons should take over as one of the starters as basketball betting experts see it. Bone saw limited action last year but he could have a breakout season and impact online basketball betting lines.
Southern Illinois has excellent talent upfront. They just need the backcourt to produce and they should be in the hunt for the league title according to online basketball betting experts. Coach Chris Lowery will be looking for a shooting guard and if he finds one then Southern Illinois is going to be favored a lot in terms of online basketball betting lines.Online basketball betting experts see Bryan Mullins and Joshua Bone at the guards. Basketball betting experts think Wesley Clemmons will be the third guard while Matt Shaw and Randal Falker will be the anchors upfront.
