The Bellarmine Knights and the Morehead State Eagles meet in college basketball action from the Ellis T. Johnson Arena on Saturday night.
The Bellarmine Knights will be looking to build on their 67-66 win over Louisville in their last game. Garrett Tipton added 21 points on 9 of 16 shooting while Bash Wieland had 13 points with an 11 of 12 mark from the foul line as the only other double-digit scorer for Bellarmine in the win. Juston Betz also had a team-high 6 rebounds as well in the victory for the Knights.
The Morehead State Eagles will try to build on their 99-58 win over Campbellsville-Harrodsburg last time out. Branden Maughmer led the Eagles with 20 points on 8 of 11 shooting with a team-high 7 rebounds and 5 assists while LJ Bryan added 16 points on 8 of 10 shooting. Alex Gross added 15 points and Drew Thelwell added 14 points on 6 of 7 shooting with 4 assists. Trent Scott and Kalil Thomas each had 10 points to cap off the scoring in double figures for the Eagles in the win with Thomas adding a team-high 7 rebounds and 4 assists while Tucson Redding had 5 assists of his own in the win.
Bellarmine is 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 road games and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall while the under is 6-0 in their last 6 road games against a team with a home winning percentage above .600. Morehead State is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 Saturday games and 9-4-1 Ats in their last 14 games following a win by 20+ points while the over is 10-3-1 in their last 14 Saturday games.
I get the case to be made either way in this game, but I’m going to back the over here. I don’t know what to make of Bellarmine’s win over Louisville because I’m not high on the Cardinals and I think Louisville lost that game more than Bellarmine won it, but this Knights team can still score points in bunches and I expect some positive regression from Morehead State after a tough matchup with Indiana in their opener. I think this one could see one if not both teams hit the 70s. Give me the over.
