Lindenwood vs Morehead State Prediction
Both of these teams come into this matchup after finishing the regular season with a 10-10 conference record, and they will look to extend their season with a win here. Morehead State was very disappointing down the stretch this year, but they did finish with a solid win in their last game. The Eagles are only shooting 41.9% from the field this year, but they have been a very good defensive team. Lindenwood has lost two of their last three games and while they are the better offensive team, their defense has allowed at least 74 points in five straight games. Both of these teams won one of the regular season meetings, with each team winning at home. I really don’t like how Morehead State finished the last few weeks of the regular season and I think Lindenwood has much more confidence coming into this game. Take the Lions here.
