Pick
I’m backing Stetson here. The Hatters have just been so good at home this season, and while Lipscomb’s a solid group themselves and have played pretty well as of late, winning 5 of their last 7, but the Hatters at home with a low line is too good to pass on. The Hatters are outscoring teams at home by 19 PPG at home and Lipscomb’s being outscored by 2.1 PPG on the road. I’ll back the Hatters at home here.
