What to Know
The Chattanooga Mocs are on the road again Sunday and play against the Lipscomb Bisons at 5 p.m. ET Dec. 5 at Allen Arena. The Mocs should still be feeling good after a victory, while Lipscomb will be looking to get back in the win column.
Chattanooga strolled past the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles with points to spare last Tuesday, taking the game 82-65.
Meanwhile, the Bisons were expected to have a tough go of it this past Thursday, and, well, they did. Things couldn’t have gone much worse for them as they lost 94-65 to the Belmont Bruins.
Chattanooga is the favorite in this one, with an expected 6.5-point margin of victory. Those brave souls putting their money on Lipscomb against the spread have faith in an upset since their team’s 2-4 record ATS can’t hold a candle to Chattanooga’s 5-2.
Chattanooga is now 6-1 while Lipscomb sits at 5-3. A pair of defensive stats to keep an eye on: The Mocs enter the contest with only 56.7 points allowed per game on average, good for 13th best in college basketball. On the other end of the spectrum, the Bisons are stumbling into the matchup with the 13th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 79.8 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against Lipscomb.
