Tennessee Tech has struggled on both ends of the ball this season as the Golden Eagles come into this game ranked just 177^th in scoring offense, 290^th in scoring defense, & 305^th in defensive FG%. Morehead State has been led by their defense which ranks 59^th in scoring defense & 68^th in rebound margin and although the Eagles rank just 190^th in scoring offense, they have shot the ball well and currently rank 78^th in FG% & 40^th in 3P-FG%.

Morehead State had no trouble taking care of business on the road against Tennessee Tech in a game that was more of a blowout than the final score indicated and between the fact that the Eagles are 10-0 at home and I don’t see Tennessee Tech putting up more than 50 points in this one, I think Morehead State wins this one by 15+ and covers this large home spread. Good Luck!
