What to Know

North Alabama was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap this past Saturday as they fell 75-69 to the Bellarmine Knights.

Meanwhile, Eastern Kentucky came up short against the Lipscomb Bisons this past Saturday, falling 83-73.

The Lions are expected to lose this next one by 6. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the squad has let down bettors in their past four games.

North Alabama is now 9-16 while Eastern Kentucky sits at 11-15. Two offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: North Alabama has only been able to knock down 39.40% percent of their shots, which is the 348th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. The Colonels' offense has more to brag about, as they they come into the game boasting the 16th most points per game in college basketball at 80.3. So the cards are definitely stacked in their favor.
