Tennessee Tech has had a difficult season on both ends of this ball. The Golden Eagles are ranked just 177 th for scoring offense and 290 th for scoring defense. They also rank 305 th in defensive Fg%. Their defense ranks 59th for scoring defense and 68th for rebound margin. Although the Eagles are just 190th for scoring offense, they have shot well and currently rank 78th and 40th respectively in FG% and 3P-FG%.
Morehead State was able to win the game against Tennessee Tech on the road. This was a game that was much more intense than the final score suggested. Between the fact that Tennessee Tech is 10-0 at home, and the fact that I don’t think Tennessee Tech will score more than 50 points in this game, I believe Morehead State will win this one by 15+. Good luck!
