What to Know
The Tennessee State Tigers will square off against the Lipscomb Bisons on the road at 5 p.m. ET Sunday at Allen Arena. Tennessee State will be strutting in after a victory while the Bisons will be stumbling in from a defeat.
Tennessee State took their matchup against the IUPUI Jaguars this past Friday by a conclusive 70-44 score.
Meanwhile, the game between Lipscomb and the Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes this past Wednesday was not a total blowout, but with Lipscomb falling 76-59 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. Jacob Ognacevic had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 25 minutes but putting up just eight points on 3-for-11 shooting.
Tennessee State is expected to lose this next one by 5.5. Those who got lucky with them against the spread this past Friday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the squad has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.
The Tigers’ win brought them up to 2-6 while the Bisons’ loss pulled them down to 5-5. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Tennessee State is 13th worst in college basketball in turnovers per game, with 16.4 on average. Lipscomb has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the contest with the 16th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 10.5 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
