ANDREW’S FREE LINDENWOOD VS MOREHEAD STATE PREDICTION

I’ll lean toward Morehead State, but the line’s probably too thick to mess with. The Eagles didn’t have too many issues versus SEMO in their last game with 53.3 percent shooting and a 38-23 rebounding advantage. If there was one blemish it was the 19 turnovers, however. Morehead State has now hit 67 or more points in nine straight games.

As for Lindenwood, they’re coming off a much-needed victory. This matchup will obviously be much tougher, though. The Lions have given up 72 or more points in four of their last five games now (all four being losses) so the Eagles should have plenty of room to score.
