Central Arkansas vs Lipscomb Prediction

Central Arkansas hasn’t won two straight games this season and will now look to do so at the end of a back-to-back. Not great. Lipscomb is probably the team to beat in the ASUN, has the rest advantage, and just smoked Central Arkansas by 18 points a week ago. Lipscomb also beat Central Arkansas on the road in January by 13 points. Lipscomb has won five of the last six games against Central Arkansas, and all five of those wins were decided by double-digit points. Central Arkansas has yet to prove it can string together a success. Give me Lipscomb to advance to the ASUN semifinals. 

Randy Chambers's Pick: Lipscomb -19.5
