What to Know

The Chattanooga Mocs will play host again and welcome the Murray State Racers to McKenzie Arena, where tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET Saturday. MSU will be strutting in after a victory while the Mocs will be stumbling in from a defeat.

It looks like Chattanooga got the smaller half of the wishbone at Thanksgiving dinner. They were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Wednesday as they fell 72-66 to the Lipscomb Bisons. One thing holding Chattanooga back was the mediocre play of guard Jamal Johnson, who did not have his best game: he finished with ten points on 4-for-13 shooting in his 27 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the game between MSU and the Tulsa Golden Hurricane on Sunday was still a pretty decisive one as MSU wrapped it up with a 77-60 win. The Racers' success was spearheaded by the efforts of forward Jamari Smith, who had 19 points in addition to seven rebounds, and guard JaCobi Wood, who almost posted a triple-double on 12 points, 11 dimes, and eight boards.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Mocs are expected to win a tight contest. Those burned by picking them against the spread on Wednesday might want to keep in mind that the squad has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

Chattanooga is now 2-3 while MSU sits at a mirror-image 3-2. Two numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Chattanooga is stumbling into the matchup with the 49th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 11.6 on average. MSUs have had an even harder time: they are 19th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 10.8 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
