Chattanooga had their winning streak snapped in their last game against Lipscomb, but they have scored at least 84 points in three of their last five games. Evansville has lost two games in a row and they have scored 66 points or fewer in three straight. These two teams have very similar shooting percentages on the season, but I am going to take Chattanooga to get the win, as they are the hotter offense right now.
