Key Storylines
- Lipscomb’s Road Woes: The Bisons are on a three-game road losing streak and they have yet to defeat a Division I opponent so far this year. This game is not expected to be a spot where the Bisons will collect their first road win of the year, though upsets are always possible in college basketball.
- Belmont’s Offensive Balance: Belmont has been sharp out of the gate, relying on a balanced attack. Graduate guard Tyler Lundblade has been lethal from deep, and his shooting gives the Bruins a reliable scoring punch. Their defense has also been on point early in the season, giving up 67.3 points per game entering this contest.
- Home Court Advantage: Belmont has won two home games in a row as a part of their 3-0 start to the year. Two of the Bruins’ three wins this season have come by double-digits and another double-digit win would be important for their early-season confidence.

Final Thoughts
Belmont looks well-positioned to dominate this Battle of the Boulevard. With home court advantage, a red-hot offense, and a more experienced roster, the Bruins have more than enough firepower to cover the 13.5-point spread. I’ll lay the points with the Bruins here as they should continue the miserable start to the season for Lipscomb.
