Key Storylines
- Lipscomb’s offensive rhythm: In its most recent outing, Lipscomb rolled to an 88–77 win over Southeast Missouri State. The Bisons were led by Mateo Esmeraldo’s 22-point outing. Lipscomb is averaging 11 made three-pointers per game this season and they will be a threat from the perimeter again in this matchup.
- Home-court edge: Lipscomb is 2–0 at home this season, while Tennessee Tech has struggled away from Cookeville. The Golden Eagles enter this matchup with a 1–4 road record. The Golden Eagles look far from comfortable on the road, especially against teams that can shoot the basketball from the outside efficiently.
- Tennessee Tech’s defensive woes: The Golden Eagles have given up 80.8 points per game. But it should be noted that they gave up over 100 points in each of their last two games against Kentucky and Georgia. That Georgia game was especially rough on the Tennessee Tech defense, as they gave up 123 points to the Bulldogs. As a result, that scoring average on defense is a bit skewed.
- Rebounding battle: These teams are separated by just over a rebound per game this season, with Tennessee Tech having a slight edge in that department. If the Golden Eagles can win on the glass, they could get back into the win column.

Final Thoughts
Lipscomb holds all the advantages in this contest. But I do think that Tennessee Tech is better than what we’ve seen from them over their last two games, especially on the defensive end of the floor. I think that the Golden Eagles will hold their own in this game and that they will cover the spread in a game that Lipscomb will ultimately win by a single-digit margin.
