What to Know

The Tennessee State Tigers have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. The Tigers and the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles will face off in an Ohio Valley battle at 8:30 p.m. ET on Thursday at Hooper Eblen Arena. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

While not quite a landslide, the matchup between Tennessee State and the Eastern Illinois Panthers on Saturday was still a pretty decisive one as Tennessee State wrapped it up with a 63-49 win at home.

Meanwhile, Tennessee Tech narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the Austin Peay Governors 73-69.

Tennessee State is expected to lose this next one by 5.5. They are currently five-for-five against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Tennessee State had enough points to win and then some against the Golden Eagles in the teams' previous meeting in January, taking their contest 80-64. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Tigers since the team won't have home-court advantage. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
